Battlefield 4 Uses Xbox One Kinect for Leaning and Voice Commands

Using the Kinect sensor, players can shout voice commands and lean to peek around corners in Battlefield 4.

While we already detailed the available Kinect voice commands and a possible leaning feature for Battlefield 4 back in October, a recent Xbox One event confirmed to Polygon the Kinect's head-tracking functions. Through subtle movements of a player's head, the in-game character leans to peek safely around corners.

A leaning feature existed in previous Battlefield titles alongside the Commander Mode. Commander Mode too makes its return in Battlefield 4 with control options using tablets or devices compatible with the Battlelog. Commander Mode lets players spot enemies and deploy artillery in the larger 64-person maps.

Battlefield 4 already launched on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Next generation versions will launch alongside each console.
