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?

It will just be a huge cesspool of fanboys posting things like "adapt" or "you suck." Everyone who disagrees with the game is labeled a "troll." Then tighter moderation/patches/competing games launching will lower the population of the forum until it dies off, or gets rolled in with lore/singleplayer forums (if also provided). The multiplayer forum will always be, and has always been the worst.
