Yea I know... now I gotta decide which one to play.

I would play HALO like crazy if they had ADS

it will be launched the same day, Halo doesnt stand a chance, and because this years COD is made by Treyarch and DEFINATELY has Zombies it will hopefully do aswell as Black Ops did lets face it MW3 really isnt that good, this is my vid, where in Gadget Show live this year the brouchure given out confirms Black Ops 2 for 360, PS3, PC, Wii and is due Nov 2012, and confirmes Zombies and gives campaign details. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb1KadlKZgc

Cod doesn't need to do anything; Halo is a very different game to CoD (ne which I am not a fan of, 2 mags and a melee for a kill makes a very annoying shooter IMO)

The only thing this will affect is if CoD comes out on the same date; i really don't fancy waiting in a midnight queue DOUBLE it's normal size due to people waiting for one, the other or both.....

Lets not forget that Nov 6th is right in line with when CoD comes out ( first or second week in Nov, on a tuesday), which is why i am wondering about whether CoD will come out the same day as Halo.

I'm surprised Halo chose early November.  I think BF3's decision to go for late october was a lot better, but probably the best release date for a FPS that is trying to compete with CoD would be late september to early october.  They'd get a lot of sales from people who play CoD but are more than tired of the current release, and are looking forward to the next CoD, and/or are looking for an alternative. 

I'm willing to bet that it's going to be a November release with pure intentions in competing with CoD.

Just like BF3 CoD will demolish the competition.

Black Ops 2 will more than likely release afterwards.

It worked last year. I'm not saying COD is a better game than BF3 or GOW3, however, they waited until after those games has been out for a while, people started to drop em cause they didn't like it or wanted something new, and then COD comes as a savior, well so did Skyrim.

Sadly COD had a REALLY rough opening, but that's the risk of doing business for a huge fanbase.

They will likely move it to the following week. More time is always better for bug testing (one would think)
