I need a weapon.

in the newest update, it says that they have already gotten the rating for Halo 2. maybe im just dumb, but doesnt that mean the game is almost done? the ESRB has to test all of the games features so that it can get an accurate rating. just a thought, i could be wrong. And that would mean that Halo 2 should come out waaaayyyy b4 November 9

Not necessarily. As I've said before, Censors are fools. All the censors were probably intersted in is how much blood and violence was in Halo 2. (Since there's obviously going to be no sex or nudity) To demonstrate that all they'd need to see would be a demonstration of the mechanics.

they will finish it a few months before the release date but then they have to test it and make sure it all works along with ads and stupid stuff like that

they don't need the entire game if the whole game is running around shooting the covenant and people dying they basically only need a chunk of it. Most of the time the ESRB doesnb't even play the games they just watch a trailer that bungie sends them.

Good topic, for several reasons:

1. It's perceptive
2. It's new
3. You didn't have more punctuation than actual letters in the title
4. It didn't involve "what do you think", a poll, or any permutation thereof
5. I wasn't dumber after having read it

Thanks, keep it up.

i dont think that it would be an adult only title (that would be interesting though)
it wont be early childhood or the other young one
so that leaves us with T-teen or M-mature
if i were bungie i would try to get it to a teen rated game so parents wouldn't question if they should get it for their kid but eather way i get it since my mom dosent care so if it is T or M will most likely not make much of a diff. eather way the people at bungie will make millions

LOL. Halo wasn't M+17! Silly Frag, Halo ain't Manhunt, y'know. But speaking of the "Covie spill," there's sure to be improved blood spurts, so it's possible that Halo 2 might take the plain M rating up a notch.

Actually, ESRB doesnt really rate a game until its NEARLY finished. So yes, Halo 2 is nearly finished. Guess what Bungie is doing for the next 4 months! POLISHING!

well i dont know if this is true or not but one of my friends did some research on why halo was mature and it said becuase of the flood cariers (this was after september 11th) would make kids want to be suicide bombers? i know this sounds crazy so im looking it up.
