My understanding of it so far is that you can test out your gun using Kinect, but on the battlefield you use voice commands rather than physical gestures, so you'll still need a pad to tackle the opposing armies. I could be wrong, but that's my impression.

Yep it's certainly far away but certainly one to look forward too, I like to see some form of physical integration within the gameplay if it's possible maybe a grenade gesture & hand signals to call up your AI within the campaign, I'm guessing it would need to be an on-rails experience to utilise the finger burst & aim whilst your character was moved through the action...this will never replace the likes of MW or BF but certainly looks like a great spin on them with kinect-ivity...time will tell I guess, so any other similar games that I should keep an eye for in the meantime with a sooner release date?
