Just curious...It seems the only way I can play online in MP is as a woman! All other soldiers are locked, and even though I created a male soldier with uniform, etc., it doesn't show up! Is there anyway to get rid of this female and play as myself?

 

I have nothing against women soldiers per say, but I've always liked playing charachters a bit closer to who and what I am! Trouble is, all the other soldiers have locks on them!

 

Well like you, I usually prefer waiting longer than I did before buying something new like this, and at first, the videos I saw on Twitch and YouTube seemed to be not that much better. In fact they appeared to me ONLY to have more contrast!
But then I saw a friend playing Forza 5 on the XBone and was really impressed! So I went ahead and got myself further in debt...and I'm glad I did! I usually can't drive very well on Xbox 360, or play shooters like BF4 on anything but my PC because my thumbs just don't have what it takes I guess. <g> In fact I'm probably the worst Halo player in the world!
But I actually improved my game on the new controller, not enough to make me particularly competitive, but enough to give my ego a boost at least. But the fact the XBone's controller hooks up without the usual pain to my PC so I can practice or try demos of games I'd like to play on the XBone on the PC first before spending money that would otherwise be wasted, AND that games like Madden 15, and COD Ghosts are better versions than their 360 counterparts, AND that everything really does look and play so much better on the XBone than the 360 does, meaning that for once Microsoft's advertising was on the money, and it's a no-brainer if you can afford one! And you also can't forget everything else the XBone is capable of: All the smart apps that even the best new TV's don't have enough memory to handle well, the fact that you can split the screen allowing you to do two things, ( apps and TV ), at the same time, the additional sports, etc. Practicely everything I own goes thru my XBone and NET amplifier now! The ONLY improvement I want at this time is that like my amp, I would like XBone to have an HDMI pass-thru so that I can turn the XBone and my Amp off while still being able to watch TV. Cause sometimes, like when watching a football game, I don't want the sound coming over my Theater Stereo system. Just over the TV speakers. And of course, you save power and wear and tear that way as well. My Amp has Pass-thru so I can still turn it off if and when I want the game or TV sound to come only from the TV speakers or headphones, and even my computer works this way, but not the XBone. With everything cnfigured the way I want it for ALL possibilities, I can't turn the XBone off if I wish to just watch TV. An easy problem to fix!
Hope at least some of this is helpfull!
