Part 1: Main

Is it true?...tell me!
Well I have been trying my hardest to find out as much as I can about the game Reach. Although my efforts seemed to be in vein there was something I hear at the ODST conference. It was about the new Project Natal ( No Controller, Facial, and Voice Recognition!) I heard them saying that its very possible that Halo: Reach would be use on this system! This doesn't mean that the controller is totally gone either, but I'm sure that many people will be willing to try this method out! If you dont believe me about Project Natal look it up on www.xbox.com/en-US/live/projectnatal/ its all real and I can't wait to see whats in store!

Part 2: Message to a few

Okay first of all STOP TAKING THIS SO PERSONAL!!!
The first line I wrote was Is it true?!?....
I only heard them say what I said and I wanted to bring
it to the Bungie Community.
And for the ones who say well that just cant happen well its could and very well might, but if we tell Bungie we dont want it then I'm sure they will have no reason not to stop doing!
....Make Sense?

why are you looking at this?

its not for everything, you will still most likely need the controller for playing the game, project natal could just be used for minor parts of the game.

OMG i hope they let you use the damn controller! the last thing i want is to be waving my arms at the TV.

this isn't the Wii and I hope they don't force us to do ANYTHING involving Natal in halo reach.

Project natal and Wii = stupid.

I play games so i can sit on my ass and play a game, not so i can get a workout waving my arms at the TV like an idiot.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Project Natal will be an alternative to controllers, but is not meant to replace them. Reach may or may not integrate some feature with Natal, but that doesn't mean it is mandatory to use Natal for said features.

Like I said there was nothing said about the controllers being replaced! It would most likely be a choice because the Natal Project isnt going to be cheap from what I'm hearing!

Definitely. I'd imagine it will run about the same price as a new console.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I'm sorry to say, but there will be no controller at all.

See thats no good man!
So thats why I really dont want people to really get upset about the no controllers I just want them to know it may be possible and if your one of the ones who owns it in the future than thats something good to look foward to.

I have no idea what you just said, but the above post of mine was sarcasm, of course Halo: Reach will be controller compatible.

I will not buy anything Natal. There's something deeply wrong with just waving your empty hands in front of a sensor to control a game. The Wii was one thing, but no controller is another.

I believe it would be nice to try it out, but all in all I would rather just use my controller like always!

Ok Well If You WAnt To know more about halo reach you must play Halo 3 ODST as i have finished the game (just did) I heard a quote by one of the main characters "butch" the leader (old leader) of the sqaud. what he said on the level (last one) Coastal Highway was "This Is Like Reach All Over Again" and no i will not spoil what was happening at the moment but i can say that ODST is set after reach i think as he said that it must of happened in the past. and no i do not know how to post in a thread lmao so tahts why i am using reply. if you want to know what happens finish ODST (not that hard) and on that level you should hear the quote as it was not random and was set in game.

Dude I know what your saying but think about it video games are
causing a lot of people to skip out on there excercise and
get fat so least you don't have spend thousands on a tennis
court or something you will be able to get excercise in your own home.

PS. Why are people talking about reach so much the talking should start when the beta is released

Reach will not use Natal.

This rumor comes from the fact that somebody at Bungie said that they were interested in Natal for future use.

Reach already being in development, isn't a future project it is a current one.

Just so you know, like I said before they said it was POSSIBLE for Reach NOT that it was happening!

  • 09.21.2009 4:34 AM PDT

-Are92 www.StudioARE.net

During E3, Bungie said they had been working on Reach for quite some time.
and Microsoft said they sent out the development kit right after E3, so how could this possible be true?
Bungie can't just start working on a game title and then add in natal 1 year before it's finish.
