: anyone?), You are leaving out the fact that this is a new system, and the

: mean, this IS 343i we're talking about. The track record speaks for
: itself.

The increased power of the Xbone should give them a lot more to play with in terms of features, stuff that was impossible to do in the Halo 4 engine on the 360 could now be possible (e.g. the complicated texture rendering necessary for campaign theatre).
