I dont think project natal will be part of halo reach becaus halo 3:ODST comes with a multiplayer beta for it
In a video for Natal they showed someone playing Burnout (an Xbox original) using it.


Really? I'm actually surprised it worked on an Xbox Original. Could you post the link to that video or something. I'm really interested in it. That means that if Natal works for an Xbox Original, then it probably will support any game.

Microsoft wants Natal to sell good. So what better way to make more money than to feature Halo: Reach as the first game to use Natal?

They probably will. Just look at Halo 2 for PC. They used the Halo 2 to make Windows Vista sell better. And it actually worked. So they'll probably do the same thing with Project Natal. Use Halo: Reach to make it sell better.

no please dont do that i like chillin, drinking a beer, and talking to my friends over live while playing halo. if i wanted to move around id be playin wii which sucks, and thats what working out and sports are for. plus natal is going to suck if you seriously incorporate it into a game in its first stations, because as far as first inventions go through out the history of mankind they always suck then they get better when other inventors add on to the original. just please never incorporate natal into the game i'd probably not buy it.

If they used Natal, it really wouldn't make sense. Everybody is used to the normal controller Halo's. If they used Natal, it simply wouldn't be Halo.

lol everyone was used to standard controls for the Wii, but people eventually got the hang of the motion sensor controls.

Here is the link for the Burnout video.

Oh and I love the idea presented by the OP.

Thanks for the link, but the actual video on that page says that its been removed by the user so we can't watch it.

if it is anything like CoD WaW for the wii, that would make it...

TERRIBLE.

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.

I Think that what they mean in the article is that it wont be JUST Natl. They will have the OPTION to use natl. Well I hope it's like this and by the way, with ODST you can get into the reach beta sometime after that SOOO that is way before Natl comes out.

My main account.

This is an alt.

If it's a mix, as you're saying, won't we look like idiots with a controller in our hands, flailing around the living room?

Unless they gave us a gun controller...

no pro natal it will make it look dum

I watched the trailer on youtube and i think that this would be a huuuuuuge step up for halo. This couldn't possibly fail!

I think project natal would be good for making machinimas in halo reach. especially if they incorporate a system so where capture yourself can walking, standing, and moving then use it in a local game.

The Wii isn't supposed to be some super powerful gaming console like the XBox 360 or PS3 (XBox 360 is better). I'm surprised they managed to get COD on the Wii. That game pushes the 360 close to its limits. I thought that game would fry the Wii.

Alright, I have to set you guys straight about a few things.

1. Scan your own custom emblems for Multiplayer.

That is a good idea, and it's actually possible. But might not be used because people will scan... inapropriate stuff. And trust me, people will.

2. Custom Flags for Capture the Flag game modes.

Again, possible, but unlikely to be added.

3. Scan your own custom clan emblem if clans are enabled again for Reach.

Just like #1.

4. Scan custom Forge objects

No. It's POSSIBLE (if Natal is as good as the say, which I am not sure I believe) for a few reasons. 1st, because people will use it like crazy, and literally fill their maps with their custom objects. Those objects will take up space, a LOT of space, and for other players to play them, they will need to be downloaded. Maps, instead of being around 50 kilobytes, will be almost 250-500 Megabytes because of the custom wireframes (the skeleton of the object) and the textures (the pictures that go over them)

SECONDLY, do you believe in an honor rule over XBL? I don't. How many people will scan... very inapropriate things for objects. You know what I mean.

5. Use to melee or jump

Melee would be cool. Jumping will not. Your character is supposed to be an augmented super soldier who can jump very high. YOU are not.

6. Use the turret on the vehicles

See #7 (lol 7)

7. Driving the different vehicles.

That would be cool for some vehicles. However, if you consider the tank, how are you gonna be able to fire backwards while driving forwards, which is one of the most important things about a tank? Also, ever notice how when you fly a Banshee, your SPARTAN lays down? How are you supposed to do that in from of the camera? You can't float in front of it, and it would be a huge pain in the ass to reposition it.

8. New melee combos

I don't think it's going to be like that. It would take crazy processing power to run the engine for the game, keep online to XBL AND run the Natal while capturing all of your motions and putting them into the game. That is, unless the Natal camera has a processer and all that built in. If so, expect it to come with a heavy price tag.

9. Use hand symbols to communicate

See #8.

I don't think Natal would be good for Halo, or ANY shooter game. I would prefer the controller. Always.Anyways. consider what I said.

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

Not out of the box though. It comes with the ability to receive the beta WHEN it comes out.

Oh, and to the post above me, if they rate Halo: Reach M, why not allow scanned stuff. I would personally love for a custom spartan based off of your appearance (Dimensions wise, not the actual face)

Project Natal would be kinda epic with Halo. Its a good workout.
But it would be kind of unfair for the younger people and the chubby people. (chub chub)

No, it would have to be rate AO (Adults Only) to allow everything, if you know what I mean.

Rated M is already meant for 18 or above so you can expect some pretty inappropriate things already. Take the game Fable 2 as an example. It's rated M, yet is allows your character to do things that normally should be for adults only. I won't mention any details here for several reasons. So yeah, Halo: Reach could still allow custom scans of emblems and objects. If people abuse that, those people get banned. It'd be just like how modders get banned. In Halo 3, on some occasions, people who make inappropriate maps or screenshots can get banned too.
