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?

New IP's may work slightly different. I've used this mainly for entire game franchises and sequels. Halo 2/3/ODST/Reach/4 all went through this and it's not entirely different from other franchises - Starcraft, Gears, COD, Battlefield, EA sports, etc. There also may be an optional step between 5/6 of the developer releasing a playable beta - but of course there is usually a feedback forum.
