I'm 16 and I admit I trash talk, but mostly with my team. I've seen many teams literally disintegrate because one kid kept saying stuff like "I'm gonna pwn you all you noobs!"; they all quit. We kill the the kid a bunch of times to deflate his overinflated ego, at which point he says we are cheating and that we all -blam!- our mothers. Then, of course, he quits.

I think if you want to play a good game, go out, just buy a game randomly that isn't GoW or Halo 2 and play online WITHOUT a mic. Honestly, Halo 2 has become infested with people who just don't make the game fun anymore. It used to be cheaters, now nobody's on and all the kiddies that are suck and -blam!-.


same here

i would just like to point out that games like this are rated for explicit reasons. take any 'M' rated game. i believe that these ratings are there for some purpose. an 'M' rating means mature. this means only people mature enough to handle anything within the game. and from the looks of the poll results, most of the people playing halo are not mature enough in age to play this game.

as a parent, in my eyes, you should know your kid well enough to know how mature they are. in my case things like cursing, gore, blood, violence etc things like this never seemed to affect me, to ever make me want to repeat anything that i saw/heard. i don't curse, i'm not a gory person either. so in my opinion, as i look back at the latter part of my youth(13-17), i think i was fairly mature for my age, and still think i am. some people aren't, actually a lot of people aren't.

so when parents are out buying games that their children can't, i think the thing they should think about their child and if they're able to handle a game with the content of a mature game.

for those wondering, i'm almost 22

Wanna know what I hate? People discriminateing me for being Brtish :\ And then them asking me lame arse questions like "Have you met the queen?" And "Are there black people in england" << And yeah of course I trash talk. It makes it more fun and I just can't help myself. But ya know I'll never go that far. Like I might just go "yooou deeed!" for a luagh when I see someone die. But ya know I'll never go all racist on 'um or summut like that.

once guys get up there in age i think their cordination starts to go. im 30 right now and i completely pwn kidz. i thinks its possible i would have went pro if i was 18 and this game was out. anyhow its cool to see players over the age of 24 because halo 2 IS the greatest game ever made. however the few that i have played are not all that great. all my friends on my friends list are at an average age of 18-22 years old and even some younger kidz. they keep my game up to par and i only like playing against really really good people.

i will be one of those guys in a retirement home playing halo 2 instead of boggle or uno.

13 should be youngest, cause those 12 year olds think that the word noob is a good word, when all it means is that you dont know how admit someone killed you. the limit should be 55. Why? idk pobably because thats 41 years away for me lol

I'm 37. I've been playing video games since I was 7 and hope to be playing when I'm 77. I enjoy playing all kinds of games (Halo 2 is #1). That doesn't go away just because you turn 30 or 40 or whatever. For all you early teens and pre teens, 30 is a lot closer than you think. The skills may diminish but the fun never will.

I'm 46 and I have to agree with you rc1patfan. I told my wife when we get old and put in a old folks home my buddy (same age) has to be in the same home and our kids have to pay for XBox Live for us so we can continue to play. All I need is a TV, XBox, and my controller.
I believe games are for any age but for someone my age to hear some of the stuff that comes out of these kids mouths. I do believe in having fun and smack talk is part of the game but I have two boys that also play 13-22 and trust me they would get a hand across the mouth if I heard some of that stuff come from them. I dont understand why people have to degrade and put people down at a personal level they dont even know. You might feel a certian way about a certian race and to each his own and might go over fine were you come from but they talk like the whole world feels the same. We dont and some times I feel shame for that person.

Anyways Bla Bla Bla.....46 and going strong

Be nice to people and be a leader, not a follower

1) No matter what lies the government tells, they are still not responsible for you. YOU are responsible for you.

2) People who say you shouldn't spank you kids, don't have kids or thier kids are out of control.

3) The age limit is just a recomendation. It's still the parents responsibility. I let my kid watch me play. I also make sure my kid kows the difference between games and reality... or movies and reality.

Legally, it's questionable.
Morally, disgusting.
Personally, I like it.

How old is an average Halo 2 player in your opinion?

When are you too young or old for playing Halo 2?


For the people above 22, its real sad that you still play Halo and your that old wow somebody needs a life

Are you kidding?

When you're that age, you work hard for your money and to be a functioning member of society with partners, property, spouses and kids to support. When you have free time you want to unwind. I've been playing video games all my life, I don't see why I should suddenly stop. There are people with grandkids even who play this game.

How old do you think the guys who made this game are? Older than me and you probably, for the most part. You think they make it to appeal to the minds of 12 year olds? Get real, son. I spent my teenage years, the best years of my life, having fun outside, playing footy, making friends and getting wasted (and more)- not sitting in a dark room playing video games all the time. Who needs the life?!

Maturity does not necessarily go right along with getting older. A lot of the time I find it's more fun to talk to kids around the age of 10-13 because most of them aren't tools of the F word.

I'm 36. My generation INVENTED video games! Do you think we are EVER going to stop playing? You kids must be insane. I hate to tell you, but people who take life too seriously, and don't enjoy the break from reality that video games provide, are headed for an early heart attack.

peple that can withstand a headshot and wen they spawn call it a nice shot
those are the kind of peple Halo was made for
not the kids that go screaming and call u a "modder" everytime they die
and theyr voice is like nails on a chalkboiard to me
wat about u?

  • 05.31.2007 5:03 PM PDT

I do that quite a lot, actually. Yet people are always surprised.

16.

I hate that little kids play this, I personally don't shout profanity, but these kids are swearing like sailors. What happened to disipline?
I mean, seriously. You're a terrible parent if you let your kid swear like they do online, it's rediculous.

  • 05.31.2007 5:11 PM PDT

Don't send me group invites.

I'll admit it, I'm 19 and I still talk a lot of trash. But I don't swear. Even if I'm losing, it's still fun to talk.
