I'm actually excited to see what they will do with this. Ghost Recon could benefit from some simple things like Kinect mic support or using your hands to issue quick commands to your fellow Ghosts (think: "take cover there" or "hold up").
I'm not going to freak out either way: I'm going welcome some enhancements to a game I was already interested in. I've been looking for more traditional/core experiences with Kinect and this may be one that shows other developers what they can do with the technology in their own core games.

Like B-Radicate touched on, if Kinect is used for voice, then that'll be cool. If it's used to control much, then no one really needs to bother.
Hey Jim, ever think that maybe this will work as: Controller + Kinect? Which would actually make this game "better with Kinect" no matter how much you doubt it.
Im still waiting for the beta, as this is the first GR game to properly interest me (GRAW was fun, but not that great imo). Is it me or has Ubisoft been stupidly quiet about this game?
If control is 100% Kinect, they will have to work their ass off to convince me it won't suck. However, I could see a hybrid system that uses the controller and Kinect being somewhat useful.
I'm looking forward to what kind of subtle things they can pick up with Kinect. If I can stay sitting on the couch with both hands on my controller and I don't have to speak commands then I'm interested. I'm just not sure what that would be.
Microsoft stated numerous times that they're pushing for both Kinect-exclusive and Hybrid(Kinect+controller) games, jim. anyway i don't really care for GR i want new Rainbow Six game.
Doesn't using a controller with kinect defeat its purpose? Guess it really is a useless device without a controller. The move and sharpshooter however has made me love shooters again. (All my opinion.)

Well there is child of Eden. Playing a rail shooter with a standard controller sounds insane

Kinect has the capability for voice and hand-gesture recognition, two things that would be great for a tactical shooter. Everybody seems to forget these things...
This is the kind of things that I could buy a Kinect for but I doubt enough games that I'd like to play will use similar features. Other than this, I haven't seen anything that will convince me.
voice commands ok. nothing new.
but i should NEVER have to remove my hands from the controller during a fire fight just to make a hand command. when i can just as easily do it with a button push without taking my hands off the aiming or moving sticks.

i bet it will be voice commands, plus video of your face in the little heads up screens. for use in multiplayer etc.
This is from the CVG Article not sure how much truth there is to this...
"Back in April 2010, a report claimed the title would support the then-named Natal.
It suggested a Kinect mode would see players holding the Xbox 360 controller in one hand for thumbstick movement, while the other hand would be free to wave about Minority Report style. It also suggested players would be able to give orders through different types of hand movements."

Snarky snarky, snarky. There should be a rule saying journalists can only use as much snark as they have justified. 'What entitles you to act so superior, journalist?' "I'm hugely overweight and have massive sunglasses!" 'OK, his story checks out.' "Kinect is dumb!"

Damn man. How many thumbs do you have? I generally struggle to keep my hand on the right stick while using face buttons. Im not sure but I think it might be because I only have one thumb. A quick hand gesture seems like it could be less clunky than diving through command menus...would be perfect for something like Arma or OFP.

@JohnApocalypse
Have you not read the numerous write-ups on how the Kinect version of that is worse? I did read one where someone liked it better with motion controls. But most preferred the controller.

I understand what you're saying, but if REAL soldiers can manage to hold their guns while at the same time signaling to their squad, I think we gamers can probably figure it out :)
The entire point of the technology is about immersion. Sure it won't be for everyone, but you can't knock them for trying.

Imagine giving squad controls with your hands? I could give two shits about Kinect but implement voice ccnmands and your squad reacting to hand gestures and they've sold at least one more Kinect system. Currently I think Kinect is a waste but you'd have to be an idiot to think there wasn't potential there. Whether or nor it'll ever come to fruition I guess we'll see.
damn, imagine if MS would make gun controller for Kinect simillar to that from last Cabela game(but working), add to that hand gestures and voice recognition. DAY FUCKIN ONE.
