Damn, I was thinking that might be the case. How about just read 50 posts? Still cruel, but not soul shattering, lol

Yea I'd check if I went up to Onyx but oh wait...Waypoint stats don't work.
Int fact: My arena win percent is 78% my competitive win percent is at 81%. Arena = SO COMPETITIVE.

I would imagine sometime after October 2, which is when Karen Traviss' The Thursday War comes out. I assume it will help lead directly into the events of the game...

Otherwise did you eat up all of my candy?

November 6. September and October are too crowded. A better bet would be even closer to Christmas to help ramp up the media coverage.

Isn't the next Halo book from Karen Traviss (Halo: Thursday War) supposed to be out before Halo 4? The book is to be released on October 2nd.

I couldn't get into Glasslands, so I set it down and started reading Cryptum.
Like night and day...
Just sayin'
(does it get better?)
Bah, I hope not. I really want this game in September...

No game undermines CoD, sadly.

If Halo 4 and CoD launched at the same time, Halo 4 would be putting the hurt on CoD, not the other way around. Right guys?

If marketed correctly, I think Halo 4 has a chance. Call me an optimist. Or a fanboy.

I'm feeling Oct 16
Cute kids.
I think it does too. Let's remember that every franchise waxes and wanes. Whether or not CoD is dethroned is debateable, but even if that's unlikely Halo can still capture greater mindshare.
Look at it this way: ask someone on the street to hum a few bars from CoD. Then ask them to do the same for Halo.
Market share and sales aren't the only indicator of cultural relevance. By that barometer Halo has to be one of the most successful media franchises in recent memory. $3.x billion isn't shabby.
I'm sure they have a generic name for that too, like Spartan World Building, or Spartan Lincoln Logs
That was awesome. Like palindromes!

Curious, does Bungie still own the "Forge" name, or did that come over with MS?

Crazy sounds better.
What I meant by marketed correctly -- the bullet points:
- Return to form for the franchise (The long-awaited sequel to 2007's Halo 3!)
- New game modes and features, including customizable loadouts!
- Spartan Ops -- an evolution of Firefight. Take the cooperative experience to the next level. Plus, new content weekly/bi-monthly to keep you entertained!
- Earn credits across all game modes to upgrade your Spartan. Each Spartan is a unique reflection of the player. (Customizable codpieces for teabagging would sell copies, too.)
- Rich, cooperative campaign experience
Toss in a deep map editor that 343 promises to look toward for future matchmaking maps, and you've got a chance at gaining the lead this year, imo.

Do people buy one game every month? But it is a pretty shitty day still. Because AC3 launch a week before and BO2 in that week.Crazy sounds better.
I just don't understand the logic of wanting to share the lime light with any big holiday game. Release in Sept and there is nothing else you have to worry about. Release in Oct/Nov and there are a TON of games you have to share the spotlight with, and you ensure then that you're not even going to be the most anticipated FPS in that time frame.

As Ghaleon pointed out, we probably wouldn't even be discussing a November release date if "Holiday 2012" wasn't the tentative date from the beginning. Makes it sound like November-December to me... Unless we're looking at a Labor Day release, haha
