And the biggest: that Halo: Reach would use Natal motion controls.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the screenshot above, the targeting reticule &#8212; typically in the middle of the screen for a first-person shooter &#8212; is mysteriously off to the left, leading many to wonder if it&#8217;s because you can aim the reticule independently using some form of motion controls. The answer is much less elaborate: &#8220;Truth be told, it&#8217;s just a good ole fashioned bug. Bug #15163 to be exact,&#8221; Bungie writes. &#8220;Halo: Reach is NOT a Natal title and is being developed expressly with the traditional Xbox 360 controller in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This screenshot alone created a couple of other rumors, including that the HUD will in fact be yellow (evidently it won&#8217;t), and more intriguingly, that a portion of the screen was pixelated (area is circled in the image above) because Bungie was hiding something super top secret. Here we will quote Bungie&#8217;s explanation in full, because it&#8217;s the sort of awesomely jerk-ish behavior we really respect:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3aO0J98OZ-LZ4UUAHWUMfFLv2nk\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/16928_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3aO0J98OZ-LZ4UUAHWUMfFLv2nk\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/fd715_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=paCNmGC_ahU:0CA_N3uT9XQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/fd715_content?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=paCNmGC_ahU:0CA_N3uT9XQ:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/6fc29_content?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=paCNmGC_ahU:0CA_N3uT9XQ:2mJPEYqXBVI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/6fc29_content?d=2mJPEYqXBVI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/newsStory?cId=3177771\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the release of a batch of Halo: Reach screenshots came the usual amount of obsessive fan analysis, which in turn produced a lot of intriguing rumors &#8212; a lot of intriguing rumors that are turning out to be wrong.
