That’s the only reason why they are releasing in December. It used to be that Halo would be the game that would push other games out of the way. Even cod… since it’s an annual franchise, Halo meanwhile is a massive event. Meh… See yall in 3 months.
Halo has never dominated over CoD…
I’m not a huge CoD fan, last game I played a lot of was Bo2 so believe me I’m not being a fanboy when I say this.
Halo was and still is a huge franchise with a ton of players, but never was as popular as CoD (obviously the exclusivity was part of the reason).
It makes sense for a smaller series to tread carefully between two giant games.
It’s awesome that we have 3 AAA shooters coming out but it divides all players who like all 3 games. If Halo waits (which it is) and comes out when some of the hype dies off for those two franchises, it can steal some players!
That’s like saying Mario Kart is threatened by Forza my dude. They are not really in competition. Never have been. In fact, Halo started dying when they tried to act like there was a competition (4, 5).
Most major media releases do the same thing, look at how cinema releases are planned/postponed. Some films “flopped” due to the film’s they opened against.
Call of Duty is a huge franchise that sells huge numbers, of course releasing it in the same month would be a bad idea for almost all games.

It shouldn’t be going up against it this December…

halo was far more popular than CoD throughout the 2000s and halo 3 outsold CoD 4 by more than double the copies. halo reach and black ops were neck and neck, though it wasn’t until 2012 where CoD cemented its popularity over halo when black ops 2 completely outsold halo 4. since then CoD has been the bigger franchise.
Yeah it’s almost like big games don’t like to realese along side other big games, what a suprize…
tbh im starting to see a lot of negativity surrounding the fanbases view of COD. the outrageously large download files, the hackers in Warzone, the -Yoink- quality of gameplay both MW and BOCW, and a whole lotta stuff all adds up to not a lot of positivity surrounding cod. and everyone I talk to is sick and tired of WW2. will vanguard sell? ofc it is, it’s a cod game, but the already negative view of it, and the recent blizzard situation tells me Halo and Battlefield will throw COD to the trash bin this and next year, if not for good.

Halo has outsold cod multiple times, what are you on about?

other than halo 2 and maybe 3, the vast majority of the time COD has dominated the fps market. mostly because of their yearly releases, but still. theres no shame in accepting people prefer the mediocre yearly cod games over the farther spaced out better shooters like battlefield, titanfall, and ofc, halo. though I’m almost 100% sure halo and battlefield will outsell cod vanguard by a lot.
Nah he tweakin…
Halo ain’t scared of cod, they scared of splitgate.
Cod is still consistently the best-selling game of every year I believe even in it’s less popular years. Infinite’s multiplayer is f2p and it’s campaign is on game pass so releasing outside of Vanguard’s and 2042’s release windows is one of the easiest ways to help it’s launch sales. There’s a reason why Titanfall 2 wasn’t a huge sales success, it was launched far too close to the cod and bf launches of that year.

Cod players are gonna play cod. Halo players will play halo. We’re not scared.

I mean, I’m just gonna say that this was also a time when a lot of people were basically agreeing they won’t buy the game because it wasn’t made by Bungie (at least that’s what it seemed, literally couldn’t go anywhere without seeing a flood of comments about people bashing on the game because it wasn’t made by Bungie). So I’d imagine somewhere in the numbers that factors in, just as well, Halo 4 is/was exclusive to one platform, Xbox. CoD lines across more than one and CoD I’ll admit has had quite the following for some time. So is it really any surprise a game with more coverage saw more sellings?
I fail to see the appeal for COD with the respelling of the same game basically every single year. I watched a video showing how they copy and paste certain things for games like the gun animation. Cod 2 was great on the 360, Modern Warfare, World at war with Zombies. I skipped Black Ops Series until they went on sale. Invest a lot of my time in all the Battlefield games over Cod.
Honestly I could care less who has more sales, I’ll take the game that’s more fun.

The people keep saying that since MCC drop in stores. So, meh?
And there’s a lot of bashing against Activision an its game just for the problems with Blizzard. Yet, inside the own CoD franchise, with Warzone, they have its own problems.
I don’t even know why we have to care about CoD when most of the players that truly use platforms like this (Waypoint) are more involved on Halo than any other game. Maybe just a few population come here just to throw some hate and alarmist post, but nothing more.
I don’t think that Halo have to “fear” CoD, Battlefield or Splitgate (if its the name of th game). I see a lot of hype on twitter besides the co-op/forge decision and support to 343i just for they can understand above their angry what is make a game like Halo with the things that make Halo what it is with new things. So…
I still playing the game on day one. 343i have my total confidence on the game.

I dunno and I don’t care, I only play CoD when my friends wanna play it, but I think it’s kinda dumb to compare the two.
let me put you an example,
in my city, a huge brand of beer sells to bars downtown, and the other huge brand sells to stores. they divide the market so both can have a huge participation and sales.
These companies are no different, they don’t overlap their games so everyone can have a bite to our wallets.
I don’t like CoD btw.
