Delta Titan Sparta Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm at Warrant Officer in Reach. The series has always been my favorite franchise. The games get better with each new release, and the books are fantastic. Personally, I nearly wet myself with excitement when I saw the Halo 4 trailer. Quote SUPPORT LEGO HUNGER GAMES!

Makaru Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) ODST was my first as well, and take it from me, CE really was one of the best games. EDIT: Also, first time ever; co-op specific cutscenes (ignoring the Aribiter ones from H3. Derp.). As in 2 hushed caskets.

Chibinuva Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm not allowed to play Halo, which is odd, and annoying, since literally 90% of all the kids i know play Halo, and none are younger than me!Same here, since my mom won't let me get any M-rated games. Is there any cursing in Halo: Combat Evolved? (the first one) If there isn't too much, I'll probably download it through xbox live, since my mom doesn't really care about violence and blood as much.

Bundalings Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Also the reviews made by other parents (not Common Sense's own) seem more reasonable to me, since they say overall the game is appropriate for 12+, which is something I agree with. Halo is a really mild M game, I'm not even sure it would get an M rating in 2011. Quote I want to THRIVE Not just survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vak Il Mio Amore Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Usually the presence of the Flood is one of the biggest contributors to the M-Rating. Without it, Halo loses the Gore part of their ratings altogether- Check your Halo games that do and don't have Flood for proof :3 Honestly, if it weren't for consistency in ratings, I'm sure something like ODST would become Rated T. Otherwise the Flood, especially the graphically better games get, are plenty grotesque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibinuva Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks guys, I'll show her the review later and she lets us get them (or at least Combat Evolved and Reach.) Also, I'm thinking some of the games are rated M partially to get more people, since most FPSes these days are rated M, and as my friends often say, "most good games are rated M," and since many kids think that way, bumping a T rating up to M, or E rating up to T is often used to get more potential buyers. I'll have to show her the review and later and see what she thinks. Quote <<Newest Chibi: Nuparu Inika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vak Il Mio Amore Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Don't worry, it's still over a year away- and if 343 is like Bungie in any way, they'll be pretty good at keeping details under the hood until about the 6-months-to-launch mark. I almost wish they had kept Halo 4 a secret... When they dropped the bombshell on Halo 3 coming out, it'd been a few years since a Halo game was released, and it was extremely exciting. It almost seems to take out some of the oomph by saying, "Ohey, we're also doing this, but it won't be out for awhile!" But that's just how I feel. I missed the Halo 1/Halo 2 releases.
