Nice. These seem like the sort of improvements that I won't really notice, but at the same time would be happy with. I run into a lot of douchenozzles on XBL, atm. Especially on GTA...

Hmm, definitely sounds promising.

I was hoping they would have addressed how they are going to handle people who abuse the reputation system by blocking you just because you beat them.

Diverging player populations is always the best option

Yet the similar reputation feature on the 360 doesn't work besides purporting to do the same thing. Also, as much flak as Microsoft gets for (insert reason here), they routinely innovate in the user experience realm. Whether they stick with it is a different story, but they aren't afraid to take risks. Maybe it's 200+ billion dollar business thing..

And Toothdecay, above, has a good point.

How is skype a great tool to use WHILE gaming? I dont want to watch/be watched while playing... I can be playing and do a party chat

I would love to see just how toxic the segregated troll community becomes after the reputation system has sorted them all out.

haha, its usually the other way around with kids^_^ And the reputation system looks flawed- nice people will lower mean people's rep, but they'll just lower nice people's rep right back so they'll stay the same. also mean people could up each others' reputation as well.

Sounds cool to me cant wait to get my hands on my x1. Its sounds like tge x1  will be the best system ever made

All of these features sound really exciting. I don't play much online but I might be more inclined to if the environment was better.

I'm not the least bit concerned with the (pointless) reputation system, but the achievement and home gold talk was very interesting.

Rep system will be too exploitable.

No matter what they do, the system will still be abused.

im still not sold on timed achievements, I love perfecting games and lets say i dont get the timed achievement in time. Do i then have that on my list never to be unlocked or does it go away from people that dont get it

That's it. I need to hurry and finish paying off my Xbox One.

Are these real people or are they androids?

Generally people don't even use the reputation system unless they want to report the user. No one really uses it to prefer the players so I'm not sure how well this might work

I'm interested in seeing whether they really do improve the online experience. I'd love to play online with chat that was actually useful rather than just being a place to hear morons trash talk.

Damn Forza looks sweet on the Xbone.  I'm really sad that I'll be losing some of the exclusives when I make the switch.  Someone really needs to make an app that would allow you to cross-platform chat.  So if I have a PS4 and some of my buddys have the Xbone, we could still chat online.  Make it happen someone.

I got to play with the Xbox One yesterday...I have to say...I am sold on it, cant wait for launch!
