Along with the update the 'Find Someone' was glitched out and way spelled in crazy characters and accents. They seem to have fixed this now

Seeing who is in a party before joining is a great addition. I cant wait to see it for myself.

OXT This should've been inplemented already just like it was on 360.


Which? There is a few things being updated. Although if you're on about the party, I prefer 360 party too.

I get a kick out of people still being negative and complain about whatever they can......but I guess whatever they do or anyone for that matter...they shouldve done it sooner..faster or "shouldve been that way from the begining". haha

Its a great update w/ some key features added.
The one thing Microsoft has above everyone else...they listen to their fanbase and implement things that are wanted.

It's like they released this console with it missing so many features.

I'm liking the feature of being able to see who's in a party before you join
