So if it is something to do with Natal is isnt directly aiming the gun (but seems tobe the only crosshair on the screen), or it is controlling the gun and the weapons moves at an alarmingly slower rate then your actual weapon. From what i've understood the game will feature to ability to give orders to your team mates, maybe its a marker telling them where to go?

Maybe I am off my head here, but do feel free to compare to screens in Halo 3 and ODST, but you don't suppose... that is Natal use for Reach confirmed right there? Again, this is only my opinion and speculation. I think I now why the reticle is slap bang not in the middle of the the screen used in the asset.

None of the sequels or spin-offs have made the same impact on me that Halo 1 did, although I guess that's to be expected. Halo 2 was disappointing, but fun online, Halo 3 was much improved, and the features (4-player split-screen co-op, free-flow camera and recording, Bungie.net integration) was incredible, and ODST was fun, but ultimately a bit tired. I'm hoping Bungie have gone 'balls-to-the-wall' for this one. It certainly needs to be more than yet another set of open battlegrounds and tight AI.

On the one hand it's trying to be all po-faced and serious and on the other hand it's like a Saturday morning cartoon. The two moods don't sit well together and the game (or the setting, at least) just ends up feeling silly. I think that’s precisely my confusion, Geki.

At least the rest of us had some sort of attachment to her from the previous games (and as such could forgive those shitty interruptions) That’s because you started with Halo 3.
