Yes, I am sure it will get an "M" just like Halo 2....
With all the current buzz about Manhunt 2 and the smackdown laid out by the ESRB, it made me actually go and look at the ESRB site for the first time.
Among the categories of issues that a game can be noted for containing (e.g., sex, controlled substances, etc), I noted that use of tobacco products is one of the categories.
Looking up Halo 2, I noted that it says "Blood and Gore, Violence, Language" for H2 on Xbox and for pc: "Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Language, Violence". Huh, partially nudity? Is that due to potential for modding on the PC side? If so, sad..
Anyways, I noted that NOWHERE on there is an indication of tobacco products, specifically Sgt Johnson sitting there and smokes his cigar (Oh, Noes!) <yes, I am being sarcastic, regarding the whole issue>
Given that the MPAA (movies) is looking to make movies that depict smoking rated R (there does Lord of the Rings b/c of Gandalf), it makes you wonder if the idiots would implement a similar rating penalty for games that depict smoking ("A" - adult).
Anyways, worthless speculation while waiting on AdjutantReflex v2.....
