Halo 4 launches on November 6

[Shawn Zipay]

After a short bit of rumor, it has since been confirmed that Halo 4 will launch on November 6, 2012. This tasty little factoid was confirmed by the official Halo website just a short time ago. The folks from Red vs Blue may have also had a hand in it.

November 6 is an important date in Halo’s vast and fascinating history. For the uninitiated, that was the day the Master Chief found a weapon, a parched Grunt stumbled upon the starship, and Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson discovered the answer to one of life’s most perplexing questions. He wasn’t born knowing what the ladies like, you know. (Frankie wants me to point out that if ANYONE had been born knowing what the ladies like, it would be Sgt. Johnson, possibly related to his case of Boren's Syndrome, whatever that means….)

Now we’re adding another data point to that particular date on the Halo timeline, and that’s the release of Halo 4.

Now, since we can't embed the RvB video here, be sure to head on over to the Halo website to check that out.

Coincidently, there is still more Halo 4 news coming today. Tonight, a special segment will air on Conan concerning Halo 4. What all will happen? Nobody knows! You should probably just tune in to find out (TBS at 11PM).
