I'm gonna say 88. Although it may be the best; there will be some low reviews due to series fatigue and some low reviews for the hits.

And who rates anything out of 6?

Better than BO1/MW3 or not,no way it will lower than 85 i believe
Btw i guess we need to wait around 18 more hours?

One of the first reviews out!

Only 9/10? Insta-doom

Seriousness, that review didn't make much sense (seems translated poorly), but the jist of it was positive, and the new Zombies looks pretty awesome.

less then 9 hours. peace.

It need not be either/or here.  I will say this about Halo 4, that unless it shows me something to provide replayability single player, I don't have a strong reason to get it, irregardless of how poor or good Black Ops 2 is.

i really hope that the IGN review is accurate, the campaign sounds like all kinds of fun. Havent been this excited for a COD story since i heard Gary Oldman was doing voiceover for Black Ops 1(ill be honest, that was what made me buy the damn game in the first place). In Treyarch I trust.

Black Ops 2 sounds like the best Cod ever. Gonna buy it now!

Best Halo ever - gets less than all the rest.

Best COD ever gets less than all the rest.

Best Gears ever gets less than all the rest.

METACRITIC IS BROKEN.

Still glad Halo 4 beats it. Halo 4 is the best game of the generation.
