I'm betting money that it is. Why would Activison change their release schedule just for Halo? If they were 1st parties, then sure, they'd have no choice. But this is a multiplatform release and COD games have come out on this same week each and every year. No reason why this would change now.

COD has a sort of winning formula. The release date is a huge part of that.

The release date has nothing to do with how successful COD is.

I'm sorry VGKing but yo_john is right here, COD could release on September 3rd, October 9th or whatever, it's still going to sell the same amount of copies that it would on Nov 6.

I kinda find it weird that somehow a lot of people have the mindset that Nov 6 is a date that should be exclusive for COD, and that MS and Activision are somehow "enemies" now, which is absurd considering the fact that they each make each other obscene amounts of money.

I just noticed, that this could actually happen:

October to November:

  • Resident Evil 6
  • CoD Black Ops 2
  • Halo 4
  • GTA V
  • Forza Horizon
  • Assassin's Creed III
  • BioShock Infinite
  • Borderlands 2
  • FarCry 3

Crazy. Just crazy.

I will get Halo 4 and Resident Evil 6 for sure. I will have an eye on Forza, GTA, CoD and FarCry 3.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I wish I hadn't read that, so much games to buy!

Why do I see everyone list GTAV for 2012? Isn't early/spring 2013 more likely?


Well yes, but we're all so excited that we just have to dream that GTAV comes out this year!

I do think it's technically possible for it to release this year though, GTA 4: 2008, Red Dead Redemption: 2010, GTAV: 2012 (Please please please!)

Nope! GTA 4: 2008, RDR: 2010, Max Payne 3: 2012, GTAV: 2014?!?

Iceland is not big enough for you to hide for even suggesting 2014 for GTAV!

Anyways, It's still possible, Rockstar Vancouver is crafting Max Payne 3, meaning Rockstar North & San Diego could craft GTAV with help from their other 3-4 studios. (Just my two cents though)

Maybe cod won't release this year? ( chance would be small)
A few things that can prove this:
- DLC deal stops in 2012
- Bungie now works with AB
- No info on new cod
- AB said they don't expect new cod to sell as much as the older ( so maybe they skip a year)

So maybe there is a deal between msft and AB... Chance is pretty small but would be awsome...
Imagine all the cod fans hungry for a shooter... Many of them would buy halo 4!

next cod will be nextbox exclusive start title thats all. microsoft just had to pay one billion for that^^



selnor on 18 April 2012

Hell yes.

Microsoft better be right in their statement. new era for hollywood blockbuster gaming.

I have to say, I have a funny feeling 343 has made an amazing game here both visually and gameplay wise. What will Bungie think if 343 make the best Halo yet?

Bring on November.

Bungie who?



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
