There's a bunch of other pretty cool features, for example:
You know when you start a game and it says "Friends playing this game" and you press the Xbox button only to get your friends list? Well now you can press that button and still get your friends list. Except, this time you can sort people by game they are playing (it's under the filter Activity) with the game that you are playing shown first.
Also under activity, you can tell what map a person is playing, gametype, campaign level, etc without having to go through everyone's gamercard (Before, you would see like Custom Games or just Forge, now you see more details about what's going on). It all shows up in the friend's list.
And if you lag out of parties a lot, they've fixed that with an auto rejoiner. They also added this annoying noise when you join or leave a party. I wish I could kill it.

It's remarkable, isn't it? How us Britons always get the bum rap when it comes to the video game industry? Why can't we be more like the US or Japan in that regard?gordanman10161 said:
You lot get good early games and movies. What are we left with? Shit. The bottom of the spittoon. No wonder import piracy's high, we get sick of waiting for localisation.
At least we're not like Australia or Germany (release dates and ratings semi-respectively). I truly feel for you guys. It sucks to be you.

Back on subject(-ish). We don't get Netflix, but we get Sky Digital. It's pretty cool, but I don't think they'll let us watch anything in the channel range over 950 (check your DigiBoxes for that reference!
)
The awards thing looks awesome. Maybe now my Seriously 2.0 achievement can get me some interesting awards for the 100k kills.
