Yes, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is getting Kinect functionality -- but you knew that already. Despite a bit of news escaping Tokyo Game Show earlier this year about what the functionality actually is, we were promised a fuller reveal "this October." As it turns out, that actually meant "at New York City Comic Con," as 343 Industries reps told Halo panel attendees tonight that the game will include a variety of new Kinect features, namely analyzing world items.

When in Anniversary mode (read: fancy new graphics mode), players can use Kinect voice commands to "Analyze" various enemies, which will then add said enemies into a readable in-game database ("The Library" -- no, not that Libraby). What's more, you can also shout "grenade!" and, well, Master Chief will totally throw a grenade. "Reload weapon!" does ... well, you get the idea. A full video showcasing the additions was shown off and we'll have it up for you as soon as possible -- it'll arrive in a fuller form on Halo Waypoint this coming monday.
