    one problem i see with game integration for games such as halo 4 is that you will have to stop play to pick up your tablet/phone to access waypoint and see what you have unlocked, then pick up your controller and keep playing. hopefully you'll be able to collect the intel and then view it later.

    I'm just hoping that this gets implemented. We can build a house full of great ideas that never came into fruition.
    We need a love bomb, to just blow us away, to freakin' blow all the lights out, turning night to day, hear it from miles away, a chance to make it right now, f*ck what the government says,
    We gotta save some lives now, is that OK?

    What I would like to see is a metal gear solid-esq way of integrating peripherals. If you don't know what I'm talking about, in one of the metal gear games you have to plug in and use the second player controller into the PS in order to beat a boss. They were very creative in making an almost surreal use of PS hardware and software.

    Say you're playing Halo and you get to a door that is locked by computer. You walk up to the console and hit "x" and it tells you to access the computer with your smart glass. The game basically pauses while you go to the ipad or what have you and you do a little minigame or something on it that makes you feel like you're actually doing something on an actual computer console in order to unlock the door and kill more alien baddies.

    You raise an interesting point Soda. I could easily see something tied into Google's glasses project with this. There are tons of possible applications for this tech, i just hope that MS doesn't dumb it down like they did with kinect.

    The only problem with that example Soda is that it CAN'T be something that's forced, as not everyone is going to have (or want to use) their tablet/phone to use those features. The controller thing worked because you obviously had a controller (or you wouldn't be playing) and moving it to P2 slot was no big deal.

    But I get what you're saying, I like the idea, there's a TON of ideas and applications that can make use of this.
