Massive Chalice could be a real good get. I've really been looking forward to it.

I love the premise. Hoping it lives up to the potential.

I did not. It's been a minute since I've really got in to an RTS but I was pleasantly surprised how well it works on the X1. Massive Chalice definitely has a lot to offer but I highly doubt a lot of the people that download it are gonna spend too much time with it.

Got the Halo 3 ODST code from Xbox through PM, if anyone even cares for it. Just downloaded their new update for MCC and it was pretty long but it didn't do anything, they said we get that new Relic map shortly though and they'll add in more Ranks soon.

Individual game ranks are coming this week, probably by Wednesday.

The dedicated servers are finally consistent from what I heard, chat indicators are finally in the game, the HCE shotgun and AR can shoot people who are camo again (something that they broke two weeks ago and had to fix )those are things that I deem major changes. H3 aiming is probably still not 100% fixed but I havent played it yet to check. 

Theres some vague note in the patch notes that implies that party restrictions are back in ranked but I dont even want to believe that cause 343 has never cared about fair matches, only quick matches.

Patch Notes:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Things like just showing "Player found" in the pregame lobby, instead of the persons gamertag so people are less inclined to back out of lobbies. These are the things that should have been in the game from the jump

Sidenote the XB1 controller is horrible, they're moving backwards with this thing and its not cool.

xboxdvr.com just added the ability to quickly download all (or some) of your clips/screenshots with its new "download mode".

Chrome only

Idk if it's because I have small hands but the XB1 controller is lightyears ahead of the 360 controller imo.

So much more comfortable to hold.

I also have tiny hands so I hated the wireless controller but that wired controller was God level. It was so tiny and I could grip it so easy. Xb1 controller is too bulky.

I think it pops up on the bs screen and also comes via email.

You mean like when it was announced at last year's major gaming event... couldn't have been that could it?

You tried. You failed. Shocker.

As far as comfort, Im loving the X1 controller, although it basically feels the same as 360 to me

My one gripe with the X1 comes up with shooters. They made the triggers so freekin wide that I have to consciously hold my left finger straight out, or else I graze the left trigger and cause it to bring up Iron-Sights unintentionally

 

[antidope]

I play bumper jumper on Halo and so many times I've thrown a Nade while hitting the left bumper because of that. This controller is trash.

I also play wired and the micro USB port on the controller is so lose. Awful awful awful. They went from having the GOAT controller to Wiimote status

I really like the X1 controller but the 360 controller is the GOAT

I like the 360 controller more but the One controller is too

-Wiimote status . It is always something

The only thing I truly dislike is the d-pad on the One controller besides that I can't complain but Wiimote status
