I was just watching some show called “Mash Up” on comedy central, and than it went to commercials. And you know how Comedy Central does those commercials for there own shows? Well in the middle of that I saw the red symbol appear sightly. At first I thought I was crazy, but than right when I thought the commercial was about to end it fuzzed out, the symbol appeared with “An ancient evil awakens” and than the scanned trailer starts.
Good marketing Microsoft!
About time MS puts this game out there.
We need to get that symbol.
> About time MS puts this game out there.
amen!
> About time MS puts this game out there.
-Yoink-! I am so sick of this!
Do people really not understand how marketing works!?

I’ve been seeing short clips of the Scanned trailer on Spike.

You don’t spend millions of dollars to say “check out this awesome game! Make sure you get it when it comes out a few months…”
You spend that money to say, “Yo! This -Yoinking!- sweet game here comes out like right now! You know you want it, so go get it!”

Marketing for major media usually begins just a few weeks before said media releases, and continues for a month or two post release.
Marketing for months before hand doesn’t do anything.
sweet, comedy central has a viewer base that’s the same demographic of people who would play halo.
I never got why people complained about lack of commercials…you don’t advertise to sell something for a product that won’t be released soon.
I have only seen it for the key and peele commerical. Comedy must be doing some partnering with 343
Monday night football this past week had a Halo 4 trailer. So did Sons of Anarchy. My wife isn’t much of a Halo fan, and even she was impressed.
If you market for something like this you don’t want to start months ahead of time. With the economy’s current state an Xbox game can be placed far down on the “want but don’t need” list. However if you get people all hyped up with less than two weeks to release date then they will be more likely to make a rash decision and go out and preorder/purchase the game.
Of course I’m fairly certain that this particular rash decision will NOT be regretted

Exactly! Saves people having to remember, saves you having to remind them and saves money trying to do it for such a long needlessly pointless amount of time.

I love Sons of Anarchy! 
Mine isn’t either lol.

I’m not sure! It all happened so quickly, I thought I was going crazy xD
What does this symbol mean, and what is it called?
