GXC: "If your bank account and pockets aren’t hurting after the onslaught of games from October, well November might finally change that. November once again will be one of if not THE biggest month for game sales – especially considering its close proximity to the holidays. Huge titles will be dropping during the month, such as Halo 4, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Hitman: Absolution, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
What’s more, Nintendo is releasing their next gen system, the Wii U, during the month of November. Let’s not forget the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales that will be going on in North America as well. With so many gaming goodies to get, it’s time to ready your wallets because here’s a list of what we think you should get - your most notable retail store releases for the month of November 2012."
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Atlus has announced a collaboration with a well-known Japanese distillery to launch the Persona series' very own whiskey, releasing tomorrow.
I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.
Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.

MoH Warfighter just finished installing (PC)...all of these are for xmas, but I'm tempted to started playing MoH now lol.
Oh yeah, and if you have Steam on PC, look at the game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, it's a pretty good hack and slash multiplayer goodness and at only $25 bucks allows you to hack off other people's limbs and slaughter some filthy villagers and kill kings, and push carts of diseased bodies into water supplies. Ha ha. Going to play that when done reading N4G. Then maybe MoH.
Playstation Allstars is my favourite release this month. Already had more fun with the beta than with some full releases.
PABR & Persona for me.. Ill be busy with AC, NFS, & Ragnarok odyssey too.. That should hold me off until Ni No Kuni comes.. then Tales of Xillia, Last of Us, GOW, beyond, etc.. Yep im going to be broke ;(
