Halo 4 beats Black Ops 2 in 'most anticipated' list - Nielson

4.5
Could Call of Duty's dominance of the FPS market be waning? Possibly, according to a recent survey which names Halo 4 as 2012's most highly anticipated game on Xbox 360 above the mighty Black Ops 2.

The results of the Nielson survey says that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is the most anticipated game on PS3, but not on Microsoft's console, on which Halo 4 takes the top spot forcing Activision's FPS powerhouse to settle for second.
From there on it's the usual suspects on both platforms; Assassin's Creed 3, Madden NFL 13, Darksiders 2 and Resident Evil 6 fill the upper slots as you would expect.

Nielsen collated the results from the survey answers of 4,823 male and female "active gamers" between the ages 7 to 54 collected throughout the month of June - to tie in with game announcement at E3.

5000 people is hardly the most all-encompassing figure, but enough to get a general lay of the land.

Wii gamers voted Just Dance 4 as their most anticipated, but they don't exactly have much to choose from.

Smiley_man I like Halo, but in all honesty....ITS A NERD GAME. YOU GO AROUND SHOOTING ALIENS WITH F****** LASER GUNS!!!. F** ALL D HALO SWETS! COD WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN HALO


My oppinion :)


I respect that it's your opinion but I don't see how you can label a game as a "nerd game".


Because it's sci-fi.


.. That still doesn't really make it a "nerd" game..


Stereotypical 'nerd' is sci-fi orientated stuff.


O.o | I've always thought the Stereotypical 'nerd' like stuff like Ponies, Anime, Runescape, World of Warcraft, etc. .. No?

That's what people at my school make it seem like..


Sci fiwould also be in the nerdy category whether it's a movie book or game.


Regardless of that fact, to trash on a game because of it's Genre is a moronic thing to do. There are other games that are not CoD and are great games. I'm sorry if I seem like the asshole here, but I didn't pay $300 for my Xbox to JUST play CoD.

I am looking forward toward Black Ops 2, I haven't even though about Halo 4 yet. There is only one game I am getting!

Why does everyone care for the zombies so much, look at the multiplayer: new weapons, killstreaks, equipment I mean come on. It's not all about the zombies, it's going to be good but you have to look at the other things besides saying oh zombies i'm only getting on there just for you. And look at campaign, stuff you haven't did in other cods. so if you only going for zombies then don't buy the game, why play 1 thing when you have 2 other choices to make your money worth it was spent for. constant things get boring, especially zombies after round 30.

-LIME- I think black ops will be to "futuristic"


Yeah I agree. I dont think im gonna like it.


It could be a good game but then again seeing how the CoD series has been, the game could turn out bad.
