Most novel are the device's head-tracking capabilities. According to Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/6/5055920/battlefield-4-to-use-kinect-for-leaning-and-peeking-voice-commands), if your Kinect senses your head tilting far enough to the left or right, your in-game character will mirror this action, carefully leaning out of cover to line up a shot (or have his or her fool head blown off). Voice commands are likewise supported, allowing players to call for more ammo, medical assistance or a ride from any characters currently driving a vehicle.

Though the Xbox One (and PS4) iteration of Battlefield 4 launches on November 19, the Xbox One itself won't debut until November 22. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game are currently available.
