343 Industries has today confirmed that Kinect in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will be optional.

It was reported a few days ago that the upcoming HD remake would be getting Kinect support which left many fans a little worried about how this would affect the game.

A community manager from 343 has clarified the matter for fans;

“Just to let everybody know, the Kinect features we’re exploring with
Halo: Anniversary are optional and won’t affect your core gameplay
experience,”

“Our mission, from day one, has been
to deliver a faithful recreation of the original game, and we remain
dedicated to seeing that through to completion.”
