Looks good although the seeing who is in a party does not really bother me.

Seeing who is in a party would be really useful for me.

Craig I really hate this side of Xbox... What's the point in it?

The old party system was dank. Join and talk, no bullshit.


And it's still that way? How the hell does seeing who's in a party first change any of that?
