Why did this game get rushed for holidays?

Next time please don’t rush this game to compete against COD and for Christmas sales. You gave us an unfinished game with very poor taste promotions like the specs. If I was putting this game out I would release it in feb when people get tax money and not go head to head against COD - this is a losing battle. This company lost a lot of their fanbase because they rushed to release an unfinished product. I would have been more happier waiting until the game was complete and ready to launch- even if it had taken a half year. I don’t want a half baked game. Please stop being so money hungry in the future.

you dont know how business works do you?

Halo 4 was announced first. And then CoD announced afterwards. If anything, CoD is competing with Halo.

lol

Still doesn’t make up for the Half Baked game we got on release.

No it wasn’t, COD get’s released the same time every year

I wonder if there would have been a problem if they were to push the release date. Rockstar and Irrational games pushed up the release date for GTA V and Bioshock infinite. Mass Effect 3 kinda did the same thing, but it did more damage then good. In 343i case, more time would have been better.

yes i do and if we released a unfinished product our customers would not buy from me anymore and go elsewear which is what is happening to halo customers around the world.

Regardless, Halo was announced first. -Yoink!- has gotta give people a long time to get their pre-orders ready $$$

I can’t believe it took 4 months to get fileshare to work. lol

sorry i should elaborate (im at work so i cant get away with typing away on this for too long)

i just meant that with x-mas right there they couldnt afford to not release it so close to the holiday. thats a major sales time man.

as a gamer i agree they should have pushed it back but as a business decision ($) it was wise

I was unaware half of Halo was watching the campaign in theatre mode… Learn something new everyday.
Anyways, https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst186028_Is-Halo-4-a-Beta.aspx if you think things were rushed.

-Yoink!- founded 343i in 2007. After 5 years of developing Halo 4, I don’t think they’ve rushed for anything. It’s absolutely normal that Halo, just like most big franchises, comes out fall.
