Microsoft has purchased an online domain which hints at a future combination of two of its key brands.

According to its WHOis profile, MS registered the domain KinectHalo.com on June 14 last year.

Could it be a hint that a motion-controlled Master Chief title is on its way to 360? The news comes after an MS trademark for Gears Of War: Exile was discovered last month, which some believe will be a Kinect-compatible title.

Internal MS studio 343 Industries is currently hard at work on a "new high profile Halo experience", following Bungie's departure to create a multiplatform game for Activision.

Rumours abound that 343 is also polishing up Halo: Combat Evolved in HD for a re-release this year.

Ugh I hope not

This was obviously going to happen.  MS would be crazy not to try and leverage the Halo brand to Kinect.

I doubt - unless they're really, really keen on Kinect above anything else - that any Halo Kinect title would be a main series entry unless Kinect was only an optional control option.  But I just can't see MS risking tarnishing Halo franchise with anything that risks the core audience.

More likely we'll see a spin off or extension title tailored to Kinect interface.  Could well feature the Master Chief for maximum impact, but I doubt it'll be a full FPS just using Kinect.  It'll be some form of hybrid or if solely using Kinect either an FPS on rails or something more suited to gesture based commands.

how about Halo Wars 2 with Kinect support

I think that's a very likely option.  I think there's no way a Halo Kinect title will be the equivilent of Reach with nothing but Kinect controls - I just think there is next to no chance of this.  But either a new title with different controls or something like Wars makes a lot of sense.  Halo Wars would also allow them to take advantage of the existing base who bought and enjoyed the game and would be interested in Kinect as a good approach for RTS input.

i dont know how they will do a 1st person shooter on kinect. maybe make it on rails?

Will be interesting to see how this ends up. It will undoubtedly be a hybrid title as we have yet to see one.

As has been mentioned already in this thread, it would most likely be a hybrid. I haven't heard of MS saying anything about making hybrids though, most likely not to confuse their initial target audience. They come with all this "you are the controller" stuff so casuals think it's magic and then as more and more waves of games come out there are more games that are an attempt to reach the core 360 users. Makes sense to me.
 I think things like voice commands and head tracking are pretty much a given. Even throwing nades or maybe deploying equipment like a bubble shield would work too.

There are fully functional FPS hacks out for Kinect already.
