Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft's games group, gave the update on Saturday at the Play conference at the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business (where yours truly also moderated a panel). Kim said that the update to Xbox Live launching on Nov. 19 - which will allow people to communicate with each other through cute avatars, or online characters - will make it far easier for players to socialize and discover new entertainment such as videos and music."
We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.

Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why

MS intention with the 360 long term. Read the last paragraph and Kim makes it clear that MS is not abandoning the 360 any time soon. That works for me. I am hoping for a 129.99 360 next xmas.
