could someone please explain to me how Natal could be used on an FPS?
Unless, of course the new Halo is an on-rails shooter?
How on earth would you give the commands to strafe, jump, change weapons, grenade go for cover etc without a controller?
Don't get me wrong - Halo and Natal are both awesome, just I can't see them being awesome in the same package.
generally, people only have two hands, two legs, two arms and a head or two.
how could those possibly be mapped to 12 or so buttons and two directional control sticks?
can you imagine how awkward Halo 3 would be if you reduced the inputs to just 7 or so?
If I'm getting this wrong, I appologise, and please could someone explain how this would work?

Never had any military training? Not even a boyscout? Team control using standard hand motions is perfect for Natal and using that with a controller is perfect since if you were carring a rifle and pulled your hand off the trigger to signal a command it would have the same effect with a controller. So controller plus Natal is the way to go for FPSes... though imagine the uses Natal could be used in another Rainbow Six game...

But isn't the point of Natal to get rid of the controller entirely? using it in some form of mixed mode kind of defeats the object of not using a controller somewhat, does it not?
I can see it might work in some groovy form of team management mode though, but hands on? I still can't see it beyond someone pointing fingers and shouting "Pew! Pew! Alternate Fire!"
Unfortunately my military training is none of your business, I'm afraid, and I won't discuss it here.
