So I was on this site: http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders/41210/USA/
checking the preorders then I got bored and did a few calculations to figure out that Halo 4 will be ahead of black ops 2 by about 25448 preorders by the end of the week. I have no idea why I posted this, but I just thought some people would like to know, Halo is still in on the top.
Edit: I know this by looking at the current preorders then adding the weekly estimated exponential growth rate Halos weekly growth in preorders is 178,502 while blackops 2 is 115,482 when you multiply either of these by 1 or 2 weeks you can see that Halos preorder growth rate is significantly higher so adding this estimate onto the current preorders you get the fact that halo with surpass blackops 2 in preorders.

how do you know this?
That still says Halo has 2 weeks to launch. It is impossible to calculate that Halo will beat BO2 in pre-orders which it probably won’t. VGchartz isn’t accurate anyway.
Even if it does, that’s only because Halo 4 is coming out in five days.
Black Ops 2 will see a increase in last minute pre-orders as well.

That is NOT an estimated growth rate, that WAS the growth itself, in pre-orders for the week between 20/10/12 and 27/10/12 for US pre-orders. There were no expert calculations involved, whether in the next 5 days it bounces up by more than the current weekly orders than we may have a chance to pass Black-ops 2, but Blops 2 will also have a similar pre-order rise in the last 2 weeks, so we can be hopeful, but unfortunately Blops 2 comes out week after halo 4
