I don't know how many of you watch IGN on youtube but a weeks back they did a Halo 4 vs Black Ops 2 video to see what their fans thought was the best shooter of 2012. Yes it is a major gaming news network so I'm sure they get paid a lot to say both of these games are hands down amazing (Which I believe Halo 4 is, I haven't played Blaco Ops 2 yet). Anyways here is the video where they discuss the categories and the main points to keep an eye on:
Personally I thought they sold Halo 4 a lot more then Black Ops 2. Then again Halo 4 was a massive step forward from Halo Reach. Where as each CoD game is more or less the same, just with a few additions. The results video is in the spoiler button.
