Everyone in the world should at least have heard of Halo 4 by the time it comes out. Or even better, obsessing over it.
The only reason CoD beats Halo in sales is because it is a multi-platform game. Not because of advertising.

Should have said on xbox. Because they win that too.
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?
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

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…

I sooo agree. Spend a lot of money on public awareness. I play xbox with this one 14 yr old kid and he’s played a lot of Reach and he didn’t even know about Halo 4…that’s depressing. advertise everywhere. or use your own resources. On Bing, make the background of the day Halo related at least once a month and a week before make it a meta campaign about Spartans/Precursors and stuff. Do something nobody has every done before like pay facebook $1 million dollars (which is chump change to MS) to make the layout of facebook look similar to the Spartan HUD but still retain the blue look to it. The other day I was on urbandictionary and saw an ad for black ops II. That’s a genius place to have an ad. I’m not sure what MS I thinking. I want it to be WAY bigger than Halo 3, and that’s saying a lot.
Once you get your meal from chickfila people will say “my pleasure” once they hand you a meal. Force Burger King across America to say something Halo related, even if it’s funny.
“Wake up John, Welcome to Burger King. How may I help you?”

They are slowly… sooo very slowly ;~;… releasing info here and there. They’re trying to build up to a huge big bang reveal where they finally tell us everything, which obviously has to be E3.
I don’t see it as a good way to build up hype, but hey I don’t make the games I just play them.
Damn… feels like just yesterday we were all in rage due to the lack of a trailer at the VGA’s. Now just 19 days away, we are finally going to get a huge wave of Halo 4 info.

Yes, COD makes more sales in on every platform than Halo does on just the Xbox alone, the only way Halo can out sell COD is COD becomes a big flop and they stop developing COD games, or Halo goes MP.
