oh damn i loved that game soooooooooooooo much!
it's so awesum!
but yea, i was surpised that it's rated Teen.
prolly cuz it's Star Wars
same thing with Jedi Academy
if u do a nice vertical slash u can cut an arm from shoulder down clean off the body of a Stormtrooper.
it's still Teen


Lol, yea.... there is also a cheat that wherever u hit them they just fall to pieces, including their head falling off. If u think about it, most of the star wars games are actually pretty violent, but I dont think and are rated above T

Who cares what it's rated. Just go to EB games with 60 dolars, and ask an adult in the store to buy it for you an show them the money, and go home.

The reason it is rated M is because the rating system is biased and they think that if one part of the game is that violent than the whole game is that way...they dont even play the whole game before they rate it. Bungie doesnt decide the ratings and there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it.

Where I live (my name says it all) you can't buy an M rated game unless you are 17 or older...in fact just go to wal-mart...they dont give a crap if you buy an M rated game. They dont ask how old you are...thats where I bought Full spectrum warrior for pc and halo 2 for xbox. Or when I bought splinter cell chaos theory for xbox I went with my friends one friend was 17 and one friend was 18 or 19, i forget how old he was at the time, than i gave him the money. that simple.

That is if your parents say you can have it.

Never argue with idiots. They force you down to their level, then win because of experience.

Shadowrun=Halo 1>Halo 3>Halo 2>Gears of War>Nothing.

Don't be a scrub. Play to win.

Halo is rated 'M' because of the Flood (i.e when you shoot them their arms fall off. That's considered gore). For the conspiracy theorists, it could also be because M rated games sometimes sell better.

The game really isn't that violent. The language (in the campaign) isn't too bad either. The worst you hear is the 'B' word, and it only happens once.

DO NOT send me invites for clans or groups. You will be blocked.
Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy's.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Though I agree with lots of people here, I must point out (just to be nit-picky) that disabling the decals does not make the blood go away. Yes, it removes most of the blood that gets splashed on the walls and the ground, but technically you still see it when you shoot the bodies. This isn't Turok, where you can turn off the blood and gore. If you or your parents don't accept the blood and gore, tough luck, my friend. Bungie won't do that, I'm afraid. That's like tearing down the New York Skyline just because somebody in New Jersey wants to see the sky.

My father accepts that I play Halo or Halo 2. He respects me and considers me mature enough to play these games. Just how he didn't mind me playing Command and Conquer and frying little soldiers on the screen with lasers when I was a wee lad. He would never let me play a game like Gears of War, and I'm okay with that.

By the way, I agree with Mr Orzhov. Halo and Halo 2 are like the Hello Kitty of video games compared to a game like Half Life or Half Life 2. Halo and Halo 2 are only rated M in my opinion because of the gore, not the blood itself. I've seen many games with blood in them that are rated Teen. Even then, the gore in Halo and Halo still isn't that bad - the gore that can be seen only on the infected Flood-forms have blood, but it isn't green. This might sound odd, but as long as it's blood of a different color, and not red, no matter how realistically it spews off and splashes on the wall, is okay by me.

Before you say, "Well, there's no gore in Counter-Strike - but it's still rated M!" Think about it. Counter-Strike's avatars are real people. Humans. And the blood is much more realistic, and simply just spews everywhere. Yes, in Halo and Halo 2, the Spartans are still technically humans in big space suits, but it's still not as bad. It's kind of like how parents don't care about letting their children play games where monsters attack monsters, but they don't approve of letting them play games where people attack other people.

These days, people play the multiplayer more than the Campaign, where all you see is blood. I'm not saying that it's okay for five-year-olds to see people shooting each other and have blood spew out, but at least it isn't that bad. If Halo had no single-player, if it was a multiplayer exclusive, then I'm pretty confident it would be rated T.

However, it's worse in Halo 2, where bodies actually splurt out blood when you shoot them.

I didnt say that I thought bungie would even think twice about this idea, I just thought it was an OK idea cuz if the game was rated T, I could play it and sure as heck would. So its more of a wish instead of a request.
