Xbox One: Microsoft announce system changes and reveal new backward compatibility titles
Xbox One's Reputation System is set to be changed
MICROSOFT have announced that they plan to make system changes to the Xbox One and have also revealed a new backwards compatibility title.
 
Xbox boss Mike Ybarra broke the news on Twitter, revealing that Microsoft are aiming to update the reputation system.
"We're looking at reputation and have changes in the works. More on this soon," he tweeted today.
The current system shows three ratings for anyone on Xbox Live, Good, Needs Works and Avoid Me.
Leveling Up Your Reputation is detailed here by Microsoft, who state: "The more hours you play fairly online without being reported as abusive by other players, the better your reputation will be.
"The algorithm looks to identify players that are repeatedly disruptive across the community on Xbox Live.
"The vast majority of players do not regularly receive feedback from other players and, thus, will stay at the “Good Player” reputation level.
"If players do not heed warnings and continue to have a negative impact on other players and the Xbox Live community, they will begin to experience penalties. For example, people with an “Avoid Me” rating will have reduced matchmaking pairings and may be unable to use certain privileges such as Twitch broadcasting.
Microsoft say they designed the system's algorithm so it wouldn't penalise users for bad reports over a few weeks of play and also adjusts for false reports from people that might intentionally report someone of greater skill or for other griefing purposes.
 
Microsoft also announced what is being added to Xbox One's backward compatibility program this week.
Borderlands will be available when it launches publicly this November and is live in Preview now, with players able to carry over their previously-saved files, game add-ons and achievements. 
“We are proud to support Xbox One Backward Compatibility by bringing the complete, original Borderlands to Xbox One, including all downloadable content,” said 2K President Christoph Hartmann.
“We know many of our fans have put in dozens, even hundreds, of hours exploring the world of Pandora on their Xbox 360, and now they can continue their adventures on Xbox One.”
