I didn't see this anywhere else on here, but I also didn't look everywhere, so if this is a double post about this I am sorry.

Not sure if anyone has read this yet, I found it on the xboxlive site and thought it would be great. Some of the stuff the patch will offer is great, especially the host migration part and for all you snipers out there the sniper accuracy seems to be good. I don't care about the kill cams, personally I can do with out them, I don't like seeing how someone killed me. As you will see, my personal favorite to this whole patch is in read.

Great News! The new feature patch I talked about last week (with new Kill Cams, Host Migration, and other new features) for the Xbox 360 has finished it’s internal testing and development and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. It’s only a matter of Microsoft putting it through the certification paces and it will be available for download for all Xbox 360 players.

If you forgot, keep reading to re-cap on all the new features this patch brings to players.

New Kill Cams

We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration:

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy:

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam:

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

I like the Sniper improvement lol. Happens to me all the time. And the kill cam effect, not needed but great to have.
The 360 degree rotation when spectating is kind of bad. My friends and I play together and well, that is a good way to cheat considering we are all in one room.

Yeah, that's like a game me and my clan had the other day, I got killed and had to spectate and I seen somethings that the one I was watching didn't. So I do agree, the whole 360 angle will be an advantage, but let's just hope that players wont take advantage of it and cheat.

Though, the mic thing is still by far my fav. I hate listening to some of the other players bickering about nothing, especially the ones who call people out and tell them "Come to my hood, MF and we will handle this on the streets." Crap, if you ask me.

Netbangers, gotta love them!

My friends and I usually all play in the same room, yeah, Hardcore Gamers for the win I suppose lol. But we usually can "cheat" by saying, I saw this guy run this way. Or by listening in on their team hearing, "****! Hes at B, why!?". The 360 degree rotation will just make it that much easier for us, and well, its like screenlooking now, and you all know, screenlooking is inevitable when its right there.

They still need to tweak the ACOG scopes on the sniper rifles, because even with the patch.. I can have my sniper dead on a persons head and snipe them about 3 times..directly on their head when they are standing still and my shots dont register for some reason... I play XBL, BTW

When you get killed by a grenade you can actually see if it was a fluke or actual skill. Also I love the improved snipers as before they were being out ranged and out accuracyed by an assault rifle with red dot, AHHH

I think that all of the tweaking is perfect now. I like the killcams for whatever kills you, but I get annoyed by the grenade killcam sometimes. For some odd reason grenades seem to land perfectly next to you when people throw them randomly in the sky.
