Then the week of 11/6/12 will be my next week of vacation.
Maybe, but that's how I see it. MS' deal is up and MS may be saying "you need us more than we need you." as CoD is on the downslope.
Haha yeah, you have to work hard at having a worse sp than cod

Deadly Cyclone, they'll own November. COD is nothing in front of Master Chief's cock.

Ya, this is definitely saying COD, were coming for you. I like it.
Edit: 343 want to make an impression on the industry, and what better impression can you make than beating COD.

Not my next vacation, but certainly will also be some vacation in that time frame

If Halo and the next COD release on the same night, it will be insanity. Mini vans, flat brims and energy drinks everywhere.

I hope this is the game where they reveal Halo is a woman.

Halo is a pretty cool guy, he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.

But Metroid is a woman. Yet another case of copying Nintendo. *dramatic sigh*
Halo exploded already.

Man, I kinda wish BLOPS2 would be released on the same day. I can just imagine the insanity at Gamestop at Midnight.
Seriously though, 343i and MS need to have one crazy Marketing plan for Halo 4 if they are going head to head with CoD.

Surely nerds can pull themselves away from Halo 4 for 30 minutes to vote, yea?

Vote HalObama!
Considering Halo makes the kind of money on one console that COD make on 4 different platforms, i dont see why this is impossible.

Ha.
Well I was never meaning they'd lose a ton of sales, but some gamers will now have to decide between Blops and Halo 4. If the games were in alternate months those gamers would likely buy both.
I have a marketing background though, so I am very very excited to see how this battle is marketed and where the money goes. (money goes everywhere).

By the time the back of the line get served they'll already have used copies on the shelves.

And going right up against COD BO2 :O that is surprising because COD sells best on 360, and people who are getting both that day can't play at the same time.

Nice. Hope the rental store gets it in on time or early. I'd really like to be able to decide if it's a buy or not within a reasonable time frame from release.

And if it makes people choose between the two then MS is loosing out of royalties on the CoD sales.
Damn that some cute shit right there.

Why come in a thread about a game you don't care about and post that. Fuck off.
Day one for me.

But, im pretty sure MS prefer their IP to be number 1, rather than one they have to pay for exclusive DLC for every year...

Do we know COD's release date yet? It'll be early November for sure. Any chance they'll go 10/11/12 (europe date format)? Seems like a thing they'd do.

Not only the same month, that will likely be the week before if past CoD releases are anything to go by. I would assume CoD release a week later on the 13th.

I'm a fan of the Halo series, but I want to see some gameplay of this already, just to see if it changes something.

I want to pre-order now, but I'm not sure where I'll be living in November...
Regardless: HYPED! My most anticipated game of the year, hands down.

What the hell is that on Sarge's back!?
This seems like a bad idea, September releases were usually good for Halo, got it out ahead of Call of Duty along with all the other AAA October/November releases. Wonder if the game wasn't going to be ready in time or not. Regardless of how you feel about Halo OR Call of Duty this doesn't make sense for Microsoft. The reality is that Call of Duty will outsell anything else regardless of it's quality, and given that Call of Duty is biggest on 360 it just seems like Microsoft is cannibalizing their own income. It's not like Halo will fail or anything if they come out at the same or around the same time, but it's hard to argue that it won't hurt sales at least a bit.

Wow, loving the look of the game in the "Save the Date" video. That map looks fantastic.
