We all know it would be beyond crazy to use Project natal for a FPS like Halo, jumping , beat downs, even walking would be a rather painful, or problematic experience ,ecspiecially if you live in a cardboard box.

However, I had an idea that if Bungie keep the overall concept of a "Service record" where you can see your soldier, I thought you could use it to take poses of yourself and it scans this and translate to your spartan (Or an elite if you are a hunchback, no seriously it will just keep in mind that the elites bodies are different and try to match up the movements as best as possible.)

I mean ok, this would lead to some seriously immature players who will make rude poses and so on. But on the bright side, it would be cool.

And as discussed before , maybe even choose your own weapons to hold and so on, (Or your most used tool of destruction. In a way it would be very buggy in most places but it might make some pretty cool poses if people take it seriously enough.

And it could also be used for menu navigation.
I'm sorry if this has been discussed officially before , but if anyone has any other ideas, share them out.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

I'd like to see it used for the menu, but not the service record. Don't get me wrong, it's a good concept, but it has way too much room for abuse.

That would be more hilarious than cool. I'd love to be finally able to give my pink Spartan a shecksy pose. It's very open to abuse, but it would still be extremely funny at times. If they did include that in the game, they'd probably add the ability to turn it off.

Nice thinking. :D

Natal being used for the service record would be cool. I sere natal as a menu thing if it was applied to Halo. Like maybe moving the map or setting waypoints in ODST. I hope Bungie wouldn't do anything outrageous, and I don't think they will.

You can't spell slaughter without laughter

Stop talking about Halo Reach. Its gonna suck. It doesn't come out for another year so who gives a -blam!-. It would only be good if Infinity Ward made it. And even they suck.

My thoughts exactly, I mean I understand not to go too indepth over a game that is early in its stages or development, but its always interesting to dicuss features and ideas that might possibly be in the final game.

it could work in combination with a controller, say to elbow a guy you shoot your elbow up, or kicks similar. and obviously driving like they showed in the clips. so long as movement and shooting are done with the controller there are a few things they use the cam for. imagine you see a slight reflecting of your face in the helmet display while your playing. that would be cool.
