Subject: why Halo ODST is rated M

so, i just read one of the more recent weekly updates, and i finally confirmed my suspicsion- that the halo trilogy is M rated by ESRB because of the flood. I'd quote it, but the site wouldn't let me.

Anyway, I noticed soon after completing ODST (which took me around 5 hrs. total playing time on heroic), I didn't even see a single piece of trace or evidence that flood existed.

So anyway, what makes ODST M? Blood, Language, Brief romance, what???

On Xbox's page for ODST, it shows the ESRB's rating, and on what grounds they used to determine the rating. It says they gave ODST a M-rating for blood, language (turn on the IWHBYD skull for the quotes that merit the M-rating), and violence.

Dare's face is the reason for the M for Mature rating.

Halo never should have been rated mature. Gamestop said that ESRB rated halo mature for sails. Remember halo:CE? it was originally rated teen.

M rating never really did anything except discourage gamers and kid gamers parents. I knew some people who hated halo just cause it was M without seeing any actual game play. What they should be more concerned about is GOW and COD (the newest one, anyway, with some controversial parts).
