Just advertise the game already. The ONLY reason Cod sales more than us (EVERY YEAR) is because they advertise non stop. They posted a reveal and after that its just everywhere. Halo 4 has posted one Teaser and then its like it doesn’t exist anymore. Thats messed up. You guys need to step up your game, seriously. And i don’t mean make corny ads like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkCgDIhUJmQ
Give us those vague but awesome and intriguing Trailers. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z36WDj2PcU
Just a thought. I think its great that you (343) wont spill your beans, and that you are taking time to create the FUD series but you got to start advertising Halo 4 like Bungie did Halo 3. Everyone in the world should at least have heard of Halo 4 by the time it comes out. Or even better, obsessing over it.
they did reveal more multiplayer gameplayer today. go on youtube and watch ducain23 new video.
I saw it, but its not a trailer 
Maybe they don’t want the Call of Duty fanbase getting wind of it, if you know what I mean.
Shhhh
You just said that Halo 2 ad was corny… I’m sorry, but you have a clear lack in taste. While I enjoy the Starry Night trailer for Halo 3, it is more corny. Action = corny. Story = interesting. Action packed trailers are interesting to people who lack attention.
Yes, I agree they need to advertise more. Black Ops 2 had the top YouTube banner ad just days after it was revealed and Halo 4 hasn’t even had that yet. It’s also been advertised all over the Xbox Dashboard. Can’t say that for Halo 4 either. Hopefully we’ll see some more exposure with the new E3 trailer. And once Forward Unto Dawn launches in October, I’m sure that will be big. And some Mtn Dew Game Fuel wouldn’t hurt… They better not have struck up a deal with CoD again.
Isn’t e3 a couple weeks away? With a release date of November 6th, I highly doubt we would see a commercial before a full, proper reveal at a gaming convention. Fear not, I have a feeling Halo 4 will be the biggest advertising campaign ever created by Microsoft.
Why did you insult me? I don’t really lack attention, i sit on the forums all day. I guess its not a Cornfield. But it wont catch anyone’s eye.

The only reason CoD beats Halo in sales is because it is a multi-platform game. Not because of advertising.
Well they are having a 90 minute live action thing for Halo 4, if that’s not advertising then I dont know what is…

Should have said on xbox. Because they win that too.
That’s only one factor.
CoD is on other platforms, has demos on Marketplace, is on GoD.
It’s done a better job at reaching people. Advertisement is only the first step. Accessibility is the next.
I’m not suggesting H4 should be on PC (obviously not, it’s Xbox exclusive) but it should have a demo. A demo is what stopped me from getting Reach and what got me to get CE. They’re that influential!!

you realize that cod only sells more because its released on multi platform?
They did do that email thing with the box art picture and their still creating the “Forward on to Dawn.” Don’t worry, E3 is right around the corner.
Well I don’t really think it’s CoD’s advertising that makes it sell…it sells because it makes all the 13 and 17 yr olds think they are in the Army. I’m sure real ads won’t begin until after E3
CoD appeals to more people because they can invest themselves less and receive more rewards faster. It makes them feel special basically, because the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

That’s one of the reasons why Activision has sold out, also get your facts right. Although Mw2 and Mw3 have sold more than Halo 3 or Halo Reach, less people play it over time. Halo Reach has been out for almost 2 years and it retains a population of 500,000 or more a day. Halo 3 has 125,000 and that’been out since 2007. To play Halo skill is needed, people need strategy, to time their shots and kills. To play COD no skill is needed, point and shoot.

So your saying 343 shouldn’t create those funny videos for Halo 4 like the Red vs Blue PSA? Or Vidoc’s of the making of Halo 4? Last i checked COD doesn’t do much of that

RVB sucks. Its not funny and the story is dumb
E3 is about 19 days away…
Microsoft is going to have a pretty bad E3 this year games wise unless they change their mind and announce a new console…
They need to save Halo 4 till then…they will kick off the advertisement campaign at E3.
> To play COD no skill is needed, point and shoot.
sounds like any shooter…you point and shoot…
It’s pointless to advertise something 1/2 a year before it’s released, sure you get some pre-orders but hype dies off fast anyhow. A small hint here and there to keep the fans interested is enough, then close to release you’ll blow the whole budget and advertise your game, everywhere!
TV, gaming sites, magazines, everywhere you go you’ll see Halo 4, not CoD, and that will make people question CoD and maybe even get Halo 4 since it’s soon to be released. Advertising massively now would be a bad idea, and a sign of fear, CoD and Actisivion are scared…
