Subject: How gory should Halo 3 be since it is on 360????

No one likes a smart ass.....especially another smart ass!

I think it should only be as gory as needed to fit the game. I don't want to see gore used as a selling point.

Lots of gore, lots of destruction. There should be Human civilians being slaughtered as well by The Covenant/The Flood. The blood of his killed enemy should also splatter onto the Master Chief's armor.

I think it should be realistically gory, not overdone or stylized like Tarantino's gore, and not underdone (slicing somebody with an ultra sharp sword should cut somebody in half at the very least).

I for one hate it how all the flood combat forms are practicaly the same (as in all human flood are the same as each other and the elite flood are all the same as each other). Halo 3 needs to be more of a horror. I think it would be ausome to be walking through the reckage of mombassa. Its dark. Your flashlight batterie is low. you walk down a corridor in some old smashed up building. Your light goes out. You wait for it to reacharge. Suddenly you hear foot steps. Then out of no where comes a human combat flood. Its head is hanging down onto its chest, almost fallen off. There is blood all over its face and smeared across its chest. Its head wobbles around uncontrollably as it lunges at you. You blast it with your assult rifle but it does nothing. The flood kills you with one hit of his tenticles and he rips apart your body on the ground. Also if you get kill by lots of flood they should gather around you body and feast on you.

blood everywhere all the time when things are shot?


like, if you shoot a marine once, the entire map becomes flooded in blood? all ove the walls and ceiling and in the sky and 3 feet in the ground because of one shot?

Very very gory that's what makes video games cool.


You are the reason why videogamers have a bad name. Bungie has a perfect level of gore/blood etc. They should keep it what way, Bungie should work harder on making good levels and awesome storylines rather than working on how many organs they can fit on the screen at once.


I agree here. The things that need to be solid are: awesome storyline, unbelievable graphics and multiplayer, etc. before even thinking about "increasing" the amount of gore.

what has the world come to when all we want is blood flying every where. Why can't people just be satisfied with solid gameplay and fun. Keep goriness the same you sick little people. These are the kind of people you here about acting out violent video game scenes. Sickos.

i couldnt agree more with this kid

Actually, I think that the previous two Halo games have been just as gory as Call of Duty 2, so we may actually get a T rated game if the gore level stays the same. Or did Halo just get rated M because Cortana is nude?

Oh, grow up.

Please don't generalise with such brash and ill-thought-out comments. You are the kind of people that will have gaming used in court to prosecute a child who's been accused of dealing drugs because he played lots of Grand Theft Auto!

Violent films/games/television does NOT make people commit violent crime. The problem is deeper rooted - if a person has violent tendencies, then a violent game may encourage the behaviour they already want to commit. But would you honestly suggest banning horror/action/violence in all forms of media because a select few have deep psycological issues? Voilent media is not the problem - the issue here is defining the reasons why people have violent tendencies.

I watched predator, alien, die-hard, the exorsist, all before the age of ten.

I've seen the most grotesque films and images and to be perfectly honest I do dwell in the curiosity of it all. I find violence intriguing because it is something I am unable to comprehend. I don't want to kill somebody, because I have moral and ethical convictions that tell me it is wrong. But if a game allows me to run around with an AK-47, plugging pedestrians, terrorists or aliens, with no subsequent consequences, I will do it and enjoy it.

The people who commit violent acts after playing violent games are people who cannot differentiate between reality and fiction - and THAT my friend, is a WHOLE different issue.

Don't degrade gaming by turning it into a scapegoat for life's problems.

I want violence in my games - not ALL of them. But if they have guns and aliens in... I want blood too.

Well they already started for the blood on people. I've seen a Marine on the first level with blood and stuff. But he's rarely ever there anymore.

I'm not much for gore and all that ( mostly cause my parents wouldnt let me play if I was) but I would like to see even if not blood, at least some sort of combat damage on armor. Keep the current blood sprays, but also put bullet holes in armor. I'm sick of not knowing where I shot people.

You couldnt use a video game for that type of thing. No video game in existance (except mabye ghost recon) could be used as practice.

Anyway, the problem isnt the level of gore, its the age of the kids playing the games. And even then, it barely mattes how much gore there is. The problem is when you have kids playing violent games when they are too young to fully comprehend the difference between video games and reality. Certainly, they may consciously know that games arent real, but at the subconscious level, they still arent sure. The problem isnt the gore, its that knowbody's doing a damn thing to stop these 7 year olds from buying M rated games. Even the parents often dont stand up to their kids. Afterall, hes your kid, screaming I WANT IT at you, and you'll probably just give in. So I say let games have all the gotre you want, but please MAKE SOME FREAKING LAWS AGAINST THOSE 7 YEAR OLDS PLAYING FPS's. Not only would this get rid of a lot of the problems with violent little kids, it would also help get rid of those whining little kids on XBL.

1. That story was made up and never happened.
2. You obviously didn't read his whole post; all that "story" did was prove his point. Violent video games only nurture those with phsycotic tendencies (this "obbsessed" kid). The only affect they have on normal people is that they desensetize them to violence and gore, which is a good thing. As a lifeguard, I've gone through physical and mental training to prepare me for any situation in which my skills may be needed.Two fellow lifeguards (both girls) and I were walking home, when we saw some druggie wander out onto the street and get nailed by a bus. I found it hysterical, but the girls broke down and started shaking and weeping (the guy was mangled and bleeding). I went over and helped him. Then, one of the girls got her act together and called 911, the ambulance came, etc. The guy lived, but with brain damage. He would have died if I hadn't helped him. Now, what was the difference between me and the two girls? We went through the smae training. However, no offence to them, I was probably playing Doom and watching Aliens while they were playing with Barbies.

I believe Halo 3 should be realistically gory. If I shoot someone, I want to see a bullet-hole, not just a squirt of blood that materializes from nowhere.

Antenni, No... It should be very gorey. You can go back to your lovey dovey drama movies and bloodless games like Pokemon but some people out their like a bit of blood. But nice picture :D. i think there should be mindless blood scenes. Gallons of blood used to Covenant, Flood, Humans and ... um... Some kind of Fluid for the Sentinals? and if any other added species (i doubt it but anything could happen as theres barely anything official released). Extreme Gore + Xbox 360 = Long Lasting Entertainment.

1. You don't work for Bungie.
2. The engine wasn't capable of blowing peoples heads off. Your argument is that we should have exactly the same features and graphics as in Halo 1.
3. Completely irrelevant and frivolous . Gore does not affect story and vice versa.
