HALO: Anniversary Kinect Features / Custom Challenges


[As A Side Note, the new Original Score is Excellent]


Now, spiffy new graphics aren't all that comes with the HALO: Anniversary.
The Kinect offers bite sized treats of awesome, simple, helpful, and the best way to piss off your buddy at any given moment. [Oh the sweet pain you can unleash with simple, verbal, commands.] You'll get what I mean, and probably laugh at the possibilities; but you'll also take note at where we're heading. Games can be so much more integrated, with the little things, to improve gameplay. It doesn't all have to be about show.

I wanted to find the video where I could post it here, but sadly I could not. So, please fallow the link below HALO: Anniversary Kinect Features - JoyStiq

As for the second bit, it's real short. With 343 Industries1st official release, they updated their web program HALO Waypoint. Form Waypiont you can now create custom challenges for your friends. (i.e. Set up a certain task, or a specific amount of kills on a person/persons, or a specific/generic Covenant foe) Each custom challenge can be given a due date for completions and 343's challenge engine award the challenge the appropriate amount of credit reward for your effort. It's awesome, and a great way too boost replay value and compete with your friends for in game currency.


Later!

  2. Kinect is still not too cool. I'm sure it will get better. I'm still amazed that there can be so much graphics improvment without hardware upgrades!
