Can any old-timers predict the patterns of Destiny forum activity?
With age comes pattern recognition. At least it does with me.
However I have only been on the forums during Halo 3 and Halo: Reach's release. I didn't bother to notice the fluctuations in forum activity until now.
So what can the ancients tell me about the forum activity once Destiny is near, and when it arrives? I understand that a considerable amount depends on the success of Destiny.
But from Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach have you noticed any 'maximum forum activity' intervals and the duration of their forum activity until it inevitably dies down?

Repeat steps 3-4 until 2 months before release. 6. Developer releases actual gameplay footage - fans see it and like it 7. Game is released and everyone is happy Since we're in a new IP, we have noting to compare it with. Bungie's new project is their own thing, we can provide feedback, but it's brand new. As for forums themselves, activity rises the closer we get to release or they next big appearance and demo of them game. IE - E3, PAX, Comic-Con, GDC, Spike Awards, etc.[/quote] I think your step 4 is wrong, if it's a new IP and we have nothing to compare it to, we can't really say whether or not it'll ruin the game.
