Worst Console (Maybe just COD:AW?) to Date - Change My Mind

You will be pleased to note that I have experienced all your gripes including the frame rate issues which was bad yesterday while playing aw.

So you are not alone with your issues most of which have only occurred while or when I have played AW the game the reason for the majority of your and my problems and I have always checked my controller for updates.

I have never had a reason to complain as I presumed the issues stated were the norm for anyone or most people who play the game? which includes people who have hacked it.

Drastically different experiences like Randver has mentioned. Myself? U.I. is much quicker than the 360, and after putting it into "Energy Saver" mode after the third day of owning it has been nearly flawless. I'm not saying people aren't having problems,
but it's weird that the experience isn't the same for everyone.

Never had any of these issues and I have the Day One Launch console, should be the most buggy of the console but its been very smooth. I will say the Kinect voice control is maddening and does seem to be getting worse. I stopped trying to use it because
I eventually just kept yelling at it. The auto facial recognition doesn't work anymore, must have been an update, but that's ok with me. Handing a controller of to my boy when I was done with the game for a while was nightmarish as the game would stop because
it knew I wasn't holding the controller any more. My UI was never slow, but I quickly filled up my internal HDD so I went out got a 3Tb external and transferred everything to that, I suppose its a little quicker now. Snap works great and Bing search is actually
useful. I don't join parties but my son does and he has never has an issue with it.

I've never had an issue with the controller being unresponsive. I'm not sure about the ONE guide as I've completely stopped watching TV well over 5 years ago. UI can definitely be faster but it's not horrific like it was a launch.

I have experienced issues 1 and 5 but I have not done a firmware update on my controller lately either. Also I have cats, the controller disappears into the couch, wife and cats knock off to the floor, and my house experiences brown outs and black outs during
the summer. Thanks to all who mentioned doing a controller update.

1-2: your controller might need a firmware update. Connect it to the Xbox, head over to Settings > Accessories > select your controller and check for updates.

3: I suppose that's how Activision made it work on AW. Can't say much there.

4 & 5: I can say that anyone who has used an Xbox One to some extent has noted how it's more sluggish than the 360 UI, myself included. We can only hope that the adaptation of Windows 10's innards to the XB1 firmware will speed it up but, for the time being,
there's nothing we can do but bear with it.

6: Reading from the hard disk is much faster than reading off the disc drive. That's a design decision both present in XB1 and PS4, in case you decide to switch.

7: I'd suggest putting the console to energy saver instead of instant on mode. Check in Settings ? Power to make the change. Note that the console will cold boot every time when energy saver is on and, therefore, boot up times will be longer.

Please don't talk about fanboyism and other manufacturer brands (comparisons for example). Good discussions don't need those things.

Thank you.

As someone who owns both systems and has been in both forums since launch I can tell you with all certainty that the fanboys on both sides are no different and no fewer.....the problem is the fanboys on either side don't realize they are fanboys so the other
side always appears to be worse.
