A domain name of KinectHalo.com was purchased by Microsoft. CVG says the purchase happened in the summer of last year? Does that make sense? Whatever. It looks like it's going to be a thing.
I can't imagine what this would look like as a game, though. It's a good thing that this isn't my problem to figure out. I got the shooting, aiming and grenade tossing figured out in my head, but I have no flippin' idea how you'd do character movement. March in place? Lean forward?
Maybe it's 343 Industries' job to figure this out. They're supposedly at work on a "new high profile Halo experience." Halo Kinect game or no, it'll be interesting to see what they're working on.
Would you be down for a Halo controlled by Kinect?

Also, fantastic shoop work!
I hope that's what they're going for. Not really keen on a Kinect-only Halo game...
Just like all of the PS3 Move Shooters?
and now back to the intellectually-challenged fanboys......
STFU!
Kthxbi
It will be interesting, guess we shall see.
So yeah, I'd love to see a Kinect Halo game. No idea how it'd work, but that's what they pay game designers for, I guess.
Hahahahaha. Thnx for the laugh. I needed it Im stuck in snowacolypse right now:(
But as an FPS? I don't even think they'd try that.
Bungie did so well with their swan song, why ruin it like this? Outside of Dance Central and Child of Eden, I haven't seen a single Kinect title that looks anywhere near what could be considered fun. I have yet to try them, but I just sincerely hope they don't fuck up with this.
FUCK.
NO.
On a more important matter, this Halo game could be an odd Rail-Gun-Shooter. Or maybe they're going for something new altogether, like Forza Kinect.
Halo is one of my favourite games, please dont ruin it MS.
Haha I'm probably the only one out here that would be interested in Halo on-rails. These days the only time my Wii gets played is when I get a jones for some House of the Dead or RE chronicles.
And the domain name was secured last summer? I wonder how much of a priority this is getting. I would think a Kinect game aimed for the immensely popular Halo franchise would get a decent amount of hype to get us excited.
(Oh I recall, to sell a ton of subpar rail shooter games @ $60 a pop to Halo fanatics....and be able to claim that a AAA franchise has a Kinect game, right).
