Details:
HIGH NOON – High Noon returns players to the familiar canyons and catwalks of Hang ‘Em High, the Halo: Combat Evolved classic multiplayer map, now re-imagined for Halo: Anniversary with unprecedented detail. The vast generator complexes, which power this enormous slipspace portal, allow it to connect with an unknown number of locations across the galaxy. High Noon is a densely-packed arena of platforms, corridors and cover, best suited for team-based combat in both Slayer and Objective gametypes (4 - 12 players).
Here are the full details of Halo's Kinect integration:
-
Analyze Mode – Analyze Mode is a Kinect-exclusive feature that allows players to “scan” items of interest within the Halo: Anniversary campaign to populate the Library, an interactive encyclopedia of “Halo” lore. Once in Analyze mode, new articles of interest can be added to the Library by focusing the reticule on them and saying “Scan.”
-
The Library – The Library is an expansive index that provides detailed information on items of interest players have scanned through “Analyze Mode,” such as vehicles, characters, enemies and weapons. Through the use of gesture controls, players can explore the entire Library at any time and then return to the campaign to continue unlocking more secrets within the “Halo” universe.
-
Voice Commands – Harness the technology of Kinect for Xbox 360 to reload your weapon, throw grenades, switch seamlessly between Classic and Remastered graphics and more, using only your voice.
