I know what you're on about, but I don't understand.

I am from the UK and know that you are talking about the caution rating of Halo. In the UK, we don't have all this M or T crap, its usualy just says '15+' and stuff like that.

So you're telling me, that in America, there is a 'naughtier' version of Halo? With loads more swearing, gore and stuff?

No the "T" rated version of the game never came out. Because of complaints it was changed to M at the last minute.

What's the difference? I mean which is for rating is for older people?

  • 07.08.2004 2:22 PM PDT

M = Mature
T = Teen

And I'm not even American ;-)

T is considered 13+ in the U.S.A, M is considered 17+.

I find the game to be somewhere in between, but more towards the T side. Actually, 15+ is probably the perfect age, so nobody would be happy, I guess. :)

lol place name.

This was already said, but I will say again for clarity.

M = Mature = 17+ If you are under 17 I think you have to have someone with you that is older than seventeen to a game that is rated M (or a parent), and I know for a fact they make sure the older one understands it is rated M.

T = Teen = 13+ Anyone can buy it, even if they are under 13 years old (correct me if I'm wrong)

I still want to see if anyone lies and says they have the T version.

The Ad in The Fall of Reach has a T rating for Halo too...

They never released a T-rated version, and if they had, I don't think it would've been different. I believe I read somewhere that a T-rating was given to Halo, but when ESRB played the Flood levels, they changed it because of the intensity of the levels, with Flood coming after you pretty much non-stop. I think that's why it was changed at the last minute.

I'm 19, started playing when I was 16. I say DEATH TO WAL-MART. They are the only place I have been to that ever enforced the stupid 'ESRB' crap anyway.

Hah, I'm 14 and started playing at 13. Of course, I don't really care about ratings, as those are for ordinary people. If you can't tell video games from real life then you have issues. Of course there should be a limit, because if you bring kids up around violence, it'll get to them, but not anymore around this age. It seems I am too young for most people here.

Giving Halo a rating equivelant to 17 is excessive in my opinion. In the UK anybody can buy it as it doesn't have a bbfo rating. It amazes me how much my local GAME store enforce the bbfo rating, I had trouble buying a 15 rated game and I'm nearly 17.

IMO, rating games is worse than rating movies. We aren't zombies, we know what we wanna watch and see. Give us a break. If you are four and playing Halo, good for you. You can develop your skills early on, thus making you a potentially dangerous FPS player in the future. It seems to me they are trying to suppress child gaming prodigies.

And why are people so worried about violent games and games depicting war when movies are just as bad or worse. Nobody used to worry when a war game was blobs firing pixels at eachother, can you imagine space invaders getting an M rating?

My question is how can people be so angry when REAL LIFE is much worse. I mean, its a game. If you can't decipher real life from fiction, your problem isn't the violence of a video game.

What's so crazy about all this is that you Americans have the Halo at M rated (so thats 17 and over right?). Well the film '28 Days Later' is an '18' (the UK is so original, lol), so that's a difference of 1 year between the 2. You'd expect little difference right? WRONG! '28 Days Later' has some of the sickest images I have ever seen on the screen.

Here's just a few:
* At the beginning there is a selection of real life rage and killing. One someone that is hanging and people beating the hell out of the bosy with baseball bats. Another is a person running around with a tyre wrapped round them and coated in petrol; then they are set on fire. Others are simply pure violence, like police on horses beating rioters etc.

* One uninfected person has a large cut on his arm after a battle with some infected neighbours. One of the characters runs at him with a machette and kills him. You see his arm cut get cut clean off.

* The main character, Jim, pushed his thumbs right into the eyes of one of the soldiers. You are actually shown it.

All this violence and horror listed above is in an 18, yet any American under 17 can't buy Halo? That's pure madness!

The fact that 'Halo' is a game, not a real life depiction makes it even softer.
'
28 Days Later' makes 'Halo' look like a gentle stroll in the park when talking violence wise.

In the UK, I've seen 10-year-olds buy 'Halo' over the counter in shops like 'GAME' and 'GAMESTATION' without any trouble. Its weird to think that across the Atlantic, there are 14 and 15-year-olds having trouble buying the exact same game from shops like 'WAL-MART'

8 year olds can easily get M rated games, most gamestores dont really care that much, as long as they make the sale, and walmart are just plain dirtbags, dont shop there, they suck

The rating system is such a load of crap. No one pays any attention to. I see little six year old kids buying Mature rated games all the time.

I have the M rated game and I don't see how it could be changed to be a T rated game. Does it take the blood out of it? The blood is one of the best parts in my opinion.

If there was ever a game that should be rated T instead of M it is Halo.The worst part is the blood in multiplayer.But theres a ton of blood in other T games.Even GoldenEye had blood and it was rated T.

There is a decent amount of language but that wasn't even included in the ESRB warning box....

I have never been able to buy an M game here in the U.S. (im 13) without a parent or guardian.GameStop,Wal-Mart,K-Mart,and even Amazon.com
