NEITHER! I am sick of FPS games!

Relientk774744d ago

In this generation of consoles, I am not suprised by that answer lol

Solid_Snake374744d ago

well if i had a 360 i would go with HALO 4

zeal0us4744d ago

Think ill rent Halo for the Single Player, never really cared for the halo when it came to multiplayer.

BO2, I will wait and catch it on a deal and then get it, if I got the money. I tend to like Treyarch more than Infinity Ward when it comes to COD.

Millions of Halo fans will buy Halo 4 day one and one week later Millions will buy Black Ops 2.

Both will dominate Xbox Live as number one and two most played through the first quarter of 2013.

Halo and Call of Duty are easily the two most popular franchises for hardcore 360 fans, they are not actually competing as both will see massive massive success.

I feel bad for the rest of the software releasing the rest of November and December though.

September and October will be the months you will see most of the Fall/Holiday games try to make their mark.

This is where Bioshock: Infinite, Assassin's Creed, and Medal of Honor will all release.

Micrsoft will release Fable: Journey and Forza Horizon during this time as well.

What will be interesting is if GTA 5 releases or will they wait till April 2013 where they can literally dominate the entire install base of the 360 and PS3 untouched by any other competition. This will be my early prediction.

i will buy both... no probs for me

Honestly, I was a little skeptical about the future of Halo after Bungie moved on, but after reading the cover story of the new Game Informer, I'm very optimistic. And even though graphics are just the icing on the cake of what makes a great game, this Halo will look stunning (let's face it, graphics was never Bungie's strong suit).

I'll be getting Halo before any COD game.

sikbeta4743d ago

X360: Halo 4
PS3: any other game that's not COD, thanks :D

So why did you come into this topic then?

Anyways Halo 4 for me but I might get Black OPs 2 as well since I haven't bought a COD game since the first modern warfare and black ops 2 looks different from all the other ones so it kind of got me interested again.

mewhy324743d ago

Well I'd get Halo for sure. Not to say that I wouldn't get Black Ops2. I will probably get it too.The Call of Duty games have always been great and best played on Xbox as many head to heads have shown over and over.

Trenta274744d ago

Heck yes. I only wanted Borderlands 2 and that's only because it will actually rock.

Mutant-Spud4744d ago

I'll probably get Halo 4 first, then get Blops 2 in six months or so, if Halo has a co-op campaign it'll pay to get in early as people tend to stop playing it after a few months.I like the levels of game customisation in Halo more than i like the character customisation in COD and Firefight is more fun than zombies.

SilentNegotiator4744d ago

If Halo 4 takes as many cues from COD as Reach, I won't bother with either one. I'm not interested in Call of Duty #100 or Call of Halo #2.

Give me more first person games like the original Deus Ex, Riddick, etc. Less linear gung-ho crap, more tactical, varied games.

MrMister4743d ago

NEITHER! Because Halo and Black Ops are re-hashes everytime a new one comes out. Halo was overrated since the 1st one, and hasnt added much to it since. And dont get me started about COD.

DixieNormS4743d ago

Both during black friday for $30. Yay.

chriski3334743d ago

Neither! Don't care for halo and im never buying anymore recycled crap COD

Megaton4743d ago

There are still some good FPS out there. Like I'll be getting BioShock Infinite and Borderlands 2 this year. Won't be touching generic, repetitive, big franchise games like Blops 2 or Halo 4.

showtimefolks4743d ago

borderlands 2
bioshock

I honestly loved the mess out of the Darkness 2.

iamnsuperman4744d ago

Both??? I do not know why we have to decided between one or the other. There is always a lul in the summer anyway so my advice save money over the summer the blow out (if you want to spend it on games) in the rush before Christmas

WolfLeBlack4744d ago

Somehow I can't but help question an article like this when it's on a Black Ops 2 dedicated website :D

Ken224744d ago

Niether DUST 514 it is :D.

gtxgamer24744d ago

Can't wait, playerbase is gonna be HUGE. Gamers like free games

Fylus4744d ago

God, yes. DUST 514 is going to be beyond amazing.

OG Destiny artist recalls Bungie’s “disgruntled” reaction to Halo 4’s art style change

Bungie at that time became the most wonderful bunch of hypocrites in the gaming industry. Knowing this now, gosh the entitlement they felt was out of this world.

Nothing like buying yourself from Microsoft because you don't want to be the Halo Studio anymore, and the FIRST THING you do is sign your next IP over to Activision, for a DECADE, while they are in the middle of ousting the heads of Infinity Ward so they can exert even more control over COD while screwing out the devs at IW...

Should've come as no surprise then that Activision gutted the content of Destiny 1 before launch and was a horrible partner through Destiny 2, until history repeated itself and Bungie had to split from Activision only to wind up in the arms of another major conglomerate that also doesn't know how to handle these unmanageable devs.

Profchaos11d ago

Tti their credit they praised the technical abilities of 343 and I remember at the time thinking halo 4 was a huge graphical leap above reach everything else was rubbish when I actually got to play it but there was no doubt it looked good for the 360 and is probably the best looking game on the system.

But ultimately I think bungie has always had a leadership problem and going independent ultimately proved this it's only getting worse with studio heads being outed by Sony for abuse allegations seems like all bungies past success has been in spite of management not because of it.

But really I think the bungie we have today is not the same one we had in that Xbox era of Bungie

PhillyDonJawn11d ago

I liked the artstyle change. For the most part. Something looked worse but most of everything else looked better. Weapons and vehicles for sure. The wraith come to my mind instantly.
And how can they get mad when the bungie changed it with Halo Reach?

Sciurus_vulgaris10d ago

I know a lot of people dislike Halo 4’s arts style, but there’s thing about it I like and dislike. Personally, the Halo 4 design of Master Chief’s armour is my favourite depiction of the character’s armour.
