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.

black ops 2 is gonna suck...no good games to play anymore, guess its time to play mw2 and all the old games again

ButteredBullets I personally am anticipating blops2 more.


Same here. If this one is a let down, though, I am done with the CoD series.

BFVPosted:

Im not suprised tbh. I think the CoD franchise was ruined after MW2 and all the complex killstreak system. What happened to good old 3, 7, 11? CoD 4 And WaW were undoubtedly the best CoDs but were ruined by 12 year old ****** :) Sorry for the rant.

What I am hoping for is Halo 4 brings back a lot of the good times I had while playing games. I played Halo 3 yesterday because the hype of Halo 4 was soo much. I actually had a lot of fun on it too.

I don't expect Halo 4 to break any records but I think it will show that Halo is back and when Halo 5 comes up it will be really big, like biggest one yet.
