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?

Wasn't here for CE. All I know is that for the sequels folks will inevitably scream "[current] game is terrible, [preious game] was awesome!" for each new game released. The 7 steps by spawn are also pretty accurate, though I think #7 should be a mixed answer.
