Changes to the Xbox live reputation are in the works, while Backwards compatibility gets a new title
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has been in the spotlight since E3 this year, when it announced the big surprise of backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 on the Xbox One. Since then, Microsoft has been working hard to add popular games from the Xbox 360 era to the backwards compatibility list.
Recently, it was reported on Major Nelson’s blog that the critically acclaimed open world first person shooter, Borderlands by Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) is being added to the long list of backward compatible titles. The game should be available now for Xbox Preview Program members and should be available to everyone once Backwards Compatibility with Xbox 360 launches. Users who own a digital copy of the game should see it added to their download queue automatically next time they turn on their console. Those with a physical copy can download the game once they insert the disc in the console. As always, you will need the disc to be inside the console if you do not own the digital version of the game.
In other news, Mike Ybarra of Xbox, revealed on Twitter that the Xbox team is working to change Xbox Live’s reputation system to make it better. The reputation system on Xbox live currently has 3 levels; Good, Needs Work, and Avoid Me. The system gauges your reputation, based on the number of hours you play and if you are in the bad reputation zone because of repeated reporting, you will face penalties such as long matchmaking queues.
Microsoft said that it is working on a new system that will filter out bogus reports so that players who were incorrectly reported, do not face any penalties.
