Can you turn off the bad language in Halo 5: Guardians through the settings?

2

I don’t believe there is, but according to ESRB the game only features “Mild Language” so it shouldn’t be too bad. Here is ESRB’s summary of the game.

> This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a super soldier (Locke) searching for a missing character. Players use pistols, machine guns, grenade launchers, and futuristic weapons to kill alien and human enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and occasional blood-splatter effects. Characters can also use “assassinations” to kill characters by snapping their necks, or by stabbing them with bladed weapons. The word “a*s” appears in the dialogue, as well as occasional taunts/insults (e.g., “I have copulated…with your genetic progenitors!”; “Your father was a filthy colo and your mother was a hole in the wall!”).

Bad language, isn’t this game rated T for Teen (Which is tragic still)

4

Yeah I don’t recall any real bad language in the game really.

5

The rating is for the game’s content, not the online toxicity over microphones.

OP, disable in-game comms from your settings.

Even compared to halo 1-3, 5 was actually really tame on it’s words.

The only one that really ever swore much was Johnson, and well… T.T

Why is that tragic? Does a game have to have an M rating to be good?

8

Well, minus a few a-words and b-words… and some s-words, I don’t Halo as ever been known for fowl language. They swear in Halo as much as they do in the MCU, maybe a little more, but not much more.

I do not know if we can disable bad languages.

No it’s because now that halo is a t rated game it brings in a younger audience who want halo to evolve

Not necessarily, also it’s the ratings that changed not so much Halo. Halo never deserved a MA rating to begin with really.

But it got it anyways, and halo did change but I’d rather not get into that right now.

Of course Halo has changed, every title played differently. Just saying if the original games released today odds are they would have gotten a T rating as well. Halo was the most tame MA game on the market.

It’s rated T.

At the very least you don’t hear dirty jokes, or bad words.

I’m older than most, I want Halo to evolve, but not by removing things. Why does it have to be rated T to evolve ?

16

there is no swearing in halo 5!

I don’t know, if halo ce released today it might’ve gotten an M, that game was super bloody.

Blood and the Flood was really what had Halo going for the M rating, and the former wasn’t even that big a factor (it’s florescent blue alien blood, not like the humans are bleeding red profusely over the walls"

Now we have less Blood (still there, but decreased), and no Flood or super “graphic” scenes.

It’s almost nonexsistant. If you consider the Word “Hell” the “worst” that this game throws at you… disappointedly -_-

When 343 are trying to create a grittier tone then yes as soft half hearted violence has less impact. Violence for violence sake is unnecessary but when you focus your campaign on a character who is basically a spartan hitman the player can get more believability in his power and have more fear for master chief and his ability to survive if the action is hard hitting and impactful.
