No Kinect for Halo 4

I said this would happen 2 years ago. Micro$oft knows its a BS gimmick and wouldn't let their trusted franchises use it. Kinect is a waste of money and Micro$oft knows it.

That's a shame.

The Kinect and Halo would go together like a bib and nappy.

No MLG would allow Kinect

Kinect isnt that good anyway. I feel weird talking to my tv in the lounge room on my own lol

I am not disappointed about lack of kinect support.  I would only play with a controler anyway sooo....

Good for them. At least they kinda got the idea of how to make their game not suck.  Halo 4 is meh, but hiring CoD people to make anything is pretty much cancer for your game.  They'll try to add soviets and zombies XD.

Ki who? Kill yourself. I don't care about this stupid gimmick. It is only good for sports. What I hate about it is, you're playing make believe. Gimme some body vibrators or something every time I punch or shoot. That would be nice. It feels like I'm a schizophrenic when I use this Kinnect crap, unless I work out with it. I just can "Konnect" an imaginary world with this gimmick. It sucks. I need to feel pain. I love my traditional controls and I love the vibration on them for effects. They need some vest for feel or something. Then I'll buy it. Next Gen will fix this.. But for now.. HALO 4 IS BEAST. COD? SCREW COD. 

I have to say, sweeping my hand around to control the interface of Halo Waypoint, sounds pretty cool X3  Just like in the game :3  I don't have a Kinect yet though.  I'm sure they'll go cheap sooner or later.

WHAT ? No kinect for Halo 4 ? NOT BUYING !! *rolls eyes

GOOD !!

This will probably be the best thing about the game. I am not saying this because I think it won't be good, I mean it's Halo and has a legion of rabid fans, I say it because of the wonderful short history Kinect has had so far. Kinect and the Move seem so dead to me I really almost forgot about them until I saw this.

the Halo 4 Vs COD 8 sales battle might be more interesting than the actual COD 8 game its self

Team Halo

well said Frank well said

I thought it would be "Better with Kinect", what the hell MS.

Good, I'd rather play halo the way it's meant to be played. Don't need to anything that doesn't belong, to it.

So, MS forces kincet into games that don't need it like Forza.  They MAKE EA/Bioware put it into Mass Effect, but they don't put it into their own franchise game????

Does that bug anyone else, or is it just me????

MASTER CHEIF JUST DANCE/ I WOULD KILL MYSELF BEFORE THAT 

kinect is better off use for teaching tool rather than playing games

Who cares...

Does a victory dance after reading this. Whoop Whoop, no kinect slowing down Halo 4!!!

Although clunky and inefficient, Voice commands were in games last gen and this gen with a mere cheap headset, easy peasy. No need for an overpriced beta Kinect camera.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Just playing, I do not mind. This game is better without it. Although, if it was an option and for some features, I would not mind, either.

good call, kinect is one of the worst add-ons for a console iv ever seen.. goes down with the power glove.

YAY now how about we get rid of the whole Kinect 2.0 BS in the next xbox ?

Wow. I just got about 10% happier that I pre-ordered Halo 4. Game looks awesome btw. I've been playing modern military tactical shooters for ever, mostly Battlefield Bad Company 2 and BF3. Didn't get hooked on Reach. I'm really looking forward to this one though.

"He said though Microsoft has hired former Treyarch and Infinity Ward developers, and those staff are bringing "some of their habits" to Halo, the two franchises are intrinsically different."

Explains why COD keeps being brought up with regards to 343's first solo game, Halo 4.

Kinect doesn't belong anyways, it's a big Beta test for Kinect 2 HD. It was also sold with over a billion dollars in marketing and 360 kinect bundles worldwide. It's going nowhere fast, and it was overpriced to begin with.

when microsoft game does not support kinect, this sounds terrible

The 360 is too old. A replacement is needed soon!

The idea of Kinect (especially for Halo) is just as bad as the notion that GFWL would be benificial.

Good call, it is reassuring to know that someone out there is still making good decisions.

Incorporating Kinect would definitely be seen as the Microsoftification of Bungie's franchise, and would not help gamers trust 343.

Thank God!!!! 343 has taken the hint with CE anniversary and Halo 4 now. SOOOO PUMPED!!!!

The thing that bugs me about Kinect is that people see it as "motion controls." Sure, Halo doesn't specifically need motion controls, but Kinect offers more than that. What about voice? That couldn't possibly make sense in Halo?

Having said that, Kinect hardware is pretty limited and a lot of the ideas I've had for integrating Kinect into games *without making it the sole control scheme* would probably work better on the next-gen console with Kinect 2, things like eye tracking and body language monitoring.
