Wow, you have some great future telling device right there.
Also I won't be surprised to see a lot of those pre-order gimmicks in Halo 4. Just look at all the retailer exclusive crap that there is already.
Its been really cool looking at the Halo 3 screenshots in the thread today
Better than looking at your avatars face, anyway.

Halo 4 wont outsell CoD and either will Halo 5.
Also, not sure if posted, but Bungie released an article on what Bungie Day was for them.

They've shopped out what was on the screens though... Makes me wonder how Destiny will actually work and play. More pictures in link.

I think Halo 5 has a chance. Albeit a small one.

Maybe it could outsell the xbox version on cod, but i doubt it.

Very good point, and I meant preorder wise for the Blops2 v H4. Just look at the recent trends, Blops 2 is up 222,984 in the month of July vs Halo 4's 75,983 for July. The trend indicates that most likely in the next 2/3 weeks Halo 4 will be surpassed on pre-orders unfortunately =/.
Sure, after that I got excessive, it's just wishful thinking really for the whole H4 bringing back Halo's dominance thing. lol
This, it's a very small chance, BUT if all the things with Halo 4 are executed oerfectly (Campaign, SpOps and MP) and CoD keeps pissing off their fans by being the same game over and over, then it could happen.
Heckzone?

Halo 5 MIGHT outsell the related CoD at the time if they both are on 360 but even thats a longshot. If on diff systems its irrelevant. If they are both on next consoles EVERYONE will be buying CoD whether or not they have "CoD fatigue" to see the next big CoD.
CoD wins IMO because even Halo fans buy CoD. CoD fans laugh at Halo's framerate and play their technically superior game. Maybe #'s will prove me wrong but I doubt it.
Let me add: CoD fans MIGHT buy Halo for the campaign but they wont be in MP for more than ten games. Specially after getting cleansed.

It looks like a lot of fun. Curious when and where they will announce Destiny. Will it be at PAX? Or later? I am considering PAX very unlikely, still Bungie is community-oriented and PAX is an event for the gaming community. Okay. That's wishful thinking.

Neither game has really started marketing that much outside of video game outlets.
So the preorders thus far are pretty much from fans and based on incentives.
Let us compare the preorder incentives.
Halo:
Black Ops:
Black ops 2 not only gives you a fan favorite map, but also more stuff the earlier you preorder
i miss Bungie circa Halo 3 and ODST... not so much Bungie at Reach

Not posted as far as I'm aware! Thanks for the link. Bungie has been silent for so long I didn't think to check back there for any Bungie Day posts like that. I particularly enjoyed the knighting part, "Bungie Noob 2012."
This part is an amazing tease:

I've always felt this way, I've just been too afraid to say it. Disagree about bloom though. Reach no bloom>Halo 3>call of duty 4>reach with bloom.

Yeah, I know. I meant to say it's more teasing the idea of the music. Sorry.

Quite true...
Although I don't see why anyone would want Nuketown. Outside of Combat Training, that map sucked hardcore. Spawnkilled fo' days.
Saying Halo 5 feels... weird. And more people buy CoD because, well, it's easier. Have you guys heard what Treyarch is doing with BO2 multiplayer?
Garrett 2U

That's why it's a fan favorite lol, they can rack up the kill streaks!
What are they doing with cod multiplayer
Apparently things now cost "points", and aren't limited to slots. You get 10 points to spend on whatever. Perks = 2 points, Normal "primaries" = 2 points, secondaries = 1 point... I think.
Sounds okay on paper, but I feel it could pull a Reach.
You'd love my friends' opinion on Halo.

Hopefully when Halo 5 drops it will be on new hardware. Thus faster framerate 1080p res. Cod will die off someday.

As long as we're talking about COD, I always hate how people assume there is no difference between the two because they are both shooters. What pisses me off even more is when someone says that Halo is "simple". It's all so frustrating.
However, I'm all up for making COD more competitive/balanced, I just want a good game with a decent ranking system to play. (hint hint)
Edit: lol username change, that was fast.

New hardware is no guarantee of 1080p and 60 frames per second.
Id be shocked if it wasn't the norm for next gen tech.

It's happening where I live. Let me say, it's amazing.

Yup but I do have faith that we've ripped on Halo enough here that H5 will be 60fps.
Believe.
Believe.

if any of you guys used to play Super Mario 64, there's a guy streaming his 120 star speedrun right now. It's extremely impressive

I wonder what kind of exclusive pre-order goodies we're going to get for Destiny.
Thanks, Activision!
Thanks, Activision!
^^ nice avatar, bro
i convinced my two extremely close buds (we live pretty far away now) to buy and try halo 4 this year.
i'm moving from nyc to socal in a few months so i'm hoping more of my friends jump on board, too.
also, i hear the bad guy in the new cod is 99% related? hopefully that doesn't fly over well with my people.

That map was so good it had an entire playlist devoted to it. It was far and away the most balanced map in the game. It was symmetrical, few places to hide (relative to other maps), punished sucking, rewarded being great, and fit every game type except Ground War and FFA.
So if by sucking hardcore you meant the best map in the game... you are correct.

CoD fans are the type of people that use composite cords on their HDTVs. They are more likely to laugh at the fact that Halo has aliens in it and call it unrealistic.

Trying to convince "Cod people" to buy or play Halo is like talking to a brick wall. They have 101 excuses why Halo sucks. I think mostly the problem is you have to actually be good at video games to play Halo. People hate games if they cant win. Halo is like a religion and I am always trying to convert people for some reason.

there should be both, along with Unreal/Quake too. All really fun shooters to watch
Well that certainly isn't true. I suppose you were trying to say "you have to actually be good at video games to play Halo well" however...
