This isn't actually a bad idea.
Bungie wants us to be mature here in the forums, so why make an immoral game that will encourage people to be dicks?How is the game immoral?
Well, first language. It also revolves around ideas of Forerunners and Prophets. There is a lot of worshipping of false idols in the games. Now this may not be all bad, as long as they are shown to be false idols and that true faith is shown to be the winner.
First off: are you seriously worried about the "immorality" of these games? It's war, and people that go and kill other people is a part of war, no matter how "righteous" their cause is. Swearing, believe it or not, CAN add emphasis and emotion to a dialogue that could not be added through other vocabulary. And even if their is a non-swearing equivilant, it would probably take too long to say.
And second: what DO you consider to be the true faith? Who says it's my true faith?
This game isn't about teaching values. People choose their own values. You obviously played the first two games, and you still chose to have your prudish morals. If your worried about H3 corrupting society, don't worry: society is already corrupted, far more than you realize. And you can't change that by a little game editing. People will choose their belief system no matter what.
P.S. Isn't the point of these games not only to save humanity, but also to expose the falsehoods of the Covenant religion? Are you seriously worried that people that play the games are gonna start worshipping false idols?
