Ok, before you all flame the hell out of me, dont bother, i am made of pure titanium, fully flameproof ;D.

Now, what do you guys say about swearing in halo 3. I am all for it. Halo 3 will no doubt be r16, so why not make the marines swear everynow and then, it adds realism. "holy sh**, brutes!" or What the F*** just hit us!" lol.if youve played killzone, you will know it is really cool,i remember wacking the hell out of a marine and hearing him tell me to cutr that s*** out, it was so cool lol. the other thing is a few gory things. Like when you hit someone with the rocket launcher, i dont want them to just fly backwards, i want chunks of them flying everywhere lol. and when i have the AR and im mowing into sum1, i want them riddled with holes! what do you guys think?

I would be right with you if I knew that eight year old kids would't be playing the game, but thruth be told they will be playing the game, and little kids that swear piss me off. Yes it would be a nice touch. A real marine has his life on the line, he's bound to say more then the marine say currently. He could die!

hmmm, yeah i suppose that is a bit off lol, but i want at least something, so wjhen you walk over a dead body, you can look at him and tell what has happened to him. A large hole in his head, oh crap theres a sniper sumwhere. filled with blues sizzling burns, theres a guy with plasma riflews around. a big burnt smouldering hole, this guy just encountered a rocket propelled grenade!!! lol. oh and about 8 yr olds playing, ifthey can cope with the violence and horror(flood) surely swearin aint gunna harm them lol. but they shouldnt be playin it anyway. then agin, im ohnly 15, so neither should i, but oh well im mature enuff lol. oh and i agree, little kids that swear really piss them off! damn bad parents >:(

If you want chunks of flesh try unreal tournament.
If you want realistic warfare try Halo.

I wouldn't mind a bit of swearing. The truth is, the less often you swear, the more dramatic it is when you finally do so. I rarely use profanity and when I do, all my friends literally stop whatever they're doing and have to consider what's going on that would cause me to do so.

Secondly, gore and swearing should be limited. After all, Halo is something of a Space Opera and such things aren't really in-genre. Such things should be accents, used at the dramatically appropriate moment to tell you something.

Gears of War will be better suited to this as it's something of a survival horror in addition to a war shooting game.

I'm fine with swearing. Although the amount that's in stuff like GTA just gets annoying.

And gore? Maybe Bungie will get back to their roots. :o

Its not fitting with the Halo Universe. I'd be dissapointed if Bungie allows such sensationalism to creep into the series. There's already enough public criticism of super violent games like the GTA series, all that needs to happen is one shooting death with some kid screaming "die covie bastards" to shift focus on Halo.

Creating a game with such content is going to eliminate a large part of the fanbase (younger players), especially when you consider the Family Entertainment Protection Act (the bill proposed by Clinton and Leibermann to compell all games to get an ESRB rating and retailers to abide by those ratings) is probably going to pass in some form within the next 2 years.

Halo 3 is supposed to be rather dark and disturbing in terms of story line. So why not follow the concept and add more realism?

When I swear that happens to me to. All my friends stop and are like wow dan swore. Anyway there should be bullet holes so when you win some battle other people can see like bullet scrapes and holes in you armor , maybe some blood. But i would rather have more swearing that people getting knifed up and stuff. Speaking of knives, there should be a combat knife so you could have knife fights rofl.

Children who play the Halo genre is the responsibility of the parents, not us. In that logic, I refuse to believe that just because little kids play this game when they aren't supposed to as a valid reason. If a kid shoots someone, it is the parents responsibility, either by raising them wrong, or raising them in the wrong environment.

Personally, I think you're right, just not in such a black and white view. I don't think arms should go missing all of a sudden, but yes I think that there should be real-time effects on what happens to the body. If I was shot in my leg, I want there to be a bullet in my leg, visible to everyone. Any grenades, I want scorch marks on any part that got hit. Then again, if that was true, there would be many times in a drawn out fight that when the game ended, your character looks pure charcoal. Perhaps the body refreshes when it respawns?

Don't like something I post? Please call my complaint department at 1-800-IDC-STFU.

100% of signature statistics are fake. If you put this in your sig I'll sue you for copyright infringement.
Thats not a statistic btw, thats a FACT.

i'm with samuel, saying we cant have gore because little kids play is stupid. Halo 2 and Halo were rated M and little kids still played em.

I dunno about blood tho...i mean if you're like me you get inches from death MANY times before you die. I'd look like a zombie. Bullet holes, scratches, and burns would be cool tho. but you'd have to reset everytime you spawn or when a person gets stuck they'd come out looking like they just broke loose form a coal mine.

If you ask me, little kids shouldnt be playing mature games in the first place.

That ass Jack Thompson would have a fit. But hey, he will lose as usual anyway! I don't care what Bungie does as long as it is good.
