X1 E3 Announcements: Halo in 2014

E3 has kicked off in Los Angeles, and the Xbox One announcements are coming out fast and furious from the Microsoft meeting.  The next Halo won't be coming out until 2014, it was teased with just a brief trailer:


Other items announced:
  •  XBL Gold members will start receiving two free game downloads a month on X360 from now until X1 launch.  The first two are Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3
  • Forza 5 will have a new "drivatar" feature.  The game will learn how you drive, and then build an avatar for you in the cloud.  The avatar will then drive (as you) against other players, while you're off-line doing other things.
  • Game replays will be managed via twitch.tv, the interface into the X1 DVR replay system
  • Friend lists will no longer be limited to 100
  • Purchases will be done using real dollars, instead of Microsoft Points
  • Xbox Live can now be shared amongst family members
  • X1 will be launching in November for $499
