Will project Natal be a requirement for playing Halo: Reach or will their be a side option to enable Natal controls?

This seems like it could be a pretty important question as its hard to imagine what Halo would play like if it was all done with hands instead of a controller. Simple things like throwing grenades and melee's could become issues if the movement of the body is too subtle for the camera to pick up. Also I can't really envision a effective system for changing weapons and picking new weapon up designed around Natal however, I suppose that type of thing may be tied into the voice command part. What are your thoughts on this?

uhhhhh WHAT...

MYTHIC WILL BE MINE... MWUAHAHAHAHAHA

to be honest i dont think it will be out by then.. when the previewed it at E3 it was still not working as it should.. but idk we still got a year or two for it to come out.. soo who knos.. but i think it would make melee tough to pull off before other players.. and yea the camera might pick up something different then what u are actually wanting to do.. but like i said we still have a year for it to come out.. so hopefully it will be fun.

get out of here stalker

What do you mean 'When the previewed it at E3 it was still not working as it should'? Because I only remember a cinematic trailer for Reach, and ODST was the only Halo title with a gameplay preview.

And NATAL looked like it was working fine to me

What spectagon are you in?

reach can't be natal required because you get the Beta with ODST and natal won't be released when the beta is released.

I think you may be able to use it for navigating menu's and stuff like that.

I don't think that it would be a good idea, it would just be all too sloppy.

Project Natal is still very buggy. Also it can't detect African American Faces. *Here comes the controversy*

They said keep ahold of your disc because that's what you will need to play the demo. They never said the demo would be playable automatically. The way they said it made it sound like they may wait a while before they allow the demo to be accessible. If this is so, they may wait till Natal is released before you can access it.
