You should not post anymore until you fix your grammer and spelling. Go back to school.
stop doing that people its a post not an esay. if you'r going to act like that then u must never talk online so it's no big deel, o wait did i spell that wrong TOO BAD!!!
You are right, umm, this isn't an essay contest; but I have to agree with Spartan GQ: When your written english is so bad that others have a hard time understanding what you are saying (like I did, reading JoZh's posts), then it's time to try and solve the problem.
JoZh, you are either way too young to play this game, or way too illiterate for your age: use the time to read some books and do your spelling and english homework.
And to the rest of you that brag that 4 and 6 and 8 year olds are playing this game: Honestly, young kids that play games like Halo, Doom or Diablo while their moral standards are in the formative stages can get seriously warped. For life. Adults can (typically) differentiate between real life and fantasy. Young kids (typically) can not.
On the off chance, JoZh, that you are at least in high school and are merely a bad typist or just neglect to proofread your prose, I offer this suggestion: Halo for the PC has a setting for "decals" that you can turn on or off. When turned off, there is no blood nor bullet holes. IF your family has a newer P4 or Athlon PC, and IF your parents allow you to touch it, and IF it has (or you can get) a newer medium-to-high-end gamer's video card, and IF blood and gore is REALLY your mom's only beef, then maybe you could sell her on getting the PC version and turning decals off. ("Hey, look, Mom! No blood!")
Make a deal with her that if she allows you to play, you promise to read at least 100 pages of books a month for a year, and promise (and follow through on your promise) to keep a log of your reading for her to verify. If she agrees, then just go get the Halo trilogy and start in! That will be a very enjoyable way to keep you fulfilling your commitment for about half of the year, improve your english, help you understand the story behind the game, and make your mom happy that you aren't just a video game vegetable. Maybe she would be so happy with your reading idea that she'd let you just get Halo for the Xbox.
