Talk:Halo 4: Difference between revisions

Line 213:

Hey guys, I was at GameStop buying Skyrim and I decided to look through the book they keep out front that has all the release dates of future games in it and lo and behold the first thing that I happened to spot was the title ''Halo 4''. It said that it was being released on November 2nd, 2012. This information may not have been released publicly but maybe given to retail stores and GameStop just so happened to display it in this handy-dandy book. I put in the necessary information to the necessary pages but I'm not sure how to cite it. I just used the Citation Needed template for now. If anyone could know what to change it to that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! - [[User:Iota Eta Pi|Ιι]] [[User talk:Iota Eta Pi|Ηη]] [[Special:Contributions/Iota Eta Pi|Ππ]] 22:00, 2 January 2012 (EST)

:As far as I know, the industry does that kind of thing often, picking a "likely" release date as a placeholder until the official date is set. Halo has a history of September/November release dates, so it's a reasonable guess. I don't know that they're privy to information the fans are not, but until we have official confirmation we should regard it as just a rumour. -- [[User:Specops306|Specops306]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|Qur'a 'Morhek]] 22:05, 2 January 2012 (EST)
