Do you think that halo reach will be for the natal. Or any other halo game for that matter. This must be a much discussed matter in the bungie forums, and i just really want your opinions on what you think.

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

since you've asked politely and used english, here's my thought :)

I don't think it'll use natal for several reasons :
1 natal + fps don't work. natal can't tell if you pull a trigger. or can you imagine yourself jumping for real? or running in your room?
2 there is a beta coming out. it'll be available before natal.
3 halo is a competitive game. I can't imagine MLG players running for real.


BUT it doesn't mean natal won't be used at all. maybe it'll be an accessory for controlling the menus, terminals, whatever.
but I seriously doubt it'll have any kind of important (or minor) role in gameplay.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Natal can be used to full UI. It's not a technical problem, it is whether or not people like change (which they don't).

you are retarded.

It would be an amazing thing to have a shooter that used natal, especially if it was programmed to recognize any hit and rate the speed of your strike to a damage. imagine you ran out of ammo in front of someone then you take gun and bash them over the head with it.

besides the trigger, running and jumping problem can easily be taken care of with a simple wireless gun controller with a trigger, a stick and a jump button. (in fact I believe it's called the nunchuck and nintendo already made one.) OoOoO isn't that crazy.

The whole point with Natal is to have a controller-free environment. But you're right, there are other ways of fixing those problems.

"I'm going to kick your ass and get away with it!"

I totally appreciate the idea of using natal for FPS games but i want Halo to keep it's gameplay. Maybe they could use Natal for the menus and terminals or whatsoever.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel

How is literally bludgeoning a virtual enemy to death (as he described) kiddy?

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Listen to the wise words of zorgy.

I respect your opinion, but you have to admit with the recent surprises in technology, and the natal is evidence of this, with its depth camera/scanner/mood reader. They could figure out a way to let us run or jump without running around a room, and a MLG running would be an epic fail. Thanks for replying.

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.
