Halo 4 ESRB Rating On Facebook Banner

Hello all.

I noticed the other day that the ESRB rating has been applied to the Halo 4 facebook page banner. I feel like it’s almost too early for the ESRB to have even rated this game. Anyway, if this is legitimate, then I guess this means no flood since it doesn’t say “blood and gore.” I know they said flood wouldn’t be in but I was hoping that they would. Also, I guess they don’t use any language whatsoever. Doesn’t really matter to me, but I don’t think “shucky darn” (or something like that) is what they should be saying when there is a new and unknown threat.

I actually hope that rating isn’t final…Halo without foul language isn’t right…

I don’t see why it would have been rated already…but then again, if it wasn’t, I don’t think it would have been updated on the banner.

What is the rating?

“Incoming sticky grenade!”

“Aw shucks!”

Rated M for Blood and Violence. I don’t care about the rating too much, but if this is true, no Flood whatsoever.

It will still have language. I believe reach said the exact same thing, but it still had language. I really don’t think 343 would make a marine say “aw shucks” lol!

“Wraith shot incoming on our position, and we’re pinned down!”

“Gosh darn motherfather son of a beach!”

Gamer: What just happened…?

There will be no Flood. They announce it as SDCC.

Frankie announced that the Flood wouldn’t be present quite some time ago. This shouldn’t come as too much of a shock. But as with everything else right now, this rating isn’t final. Obviously the M rating will remain, but the reasons why could easily be changed and/or added closer to release.

I dont know about you guys, but I think that when a game gets an ESRB rating, it means that the main campaign is done. If so then thats great news! Just something I wanted to point out, now they (343i) will have a lot (2-3 months) to work just on multiplayer and to polish off the game. I know how it is to polish a game, Swtor took 3 years to come out and the last year was all about polishing the game And it turned out to be incredible. So yea, thats about it.

I don’t think so, Campaign could be done story wise, but for all we know they probably haven’t even started it!

lolwut?

I doubt the rating is official. The game isn’t even gold yet and we usually see the rating after that.

> I don’t think so, Campaign could be done story wise, but for all we know they probably haven’t even started it!

That would be unlikely, seeing that we have already seen campaign footage.

> I don’t think so, Campaign could be done story wise, but for all we know they probably haven’t even started it!

Well the game is going to be complete in 7 weeks, and we’ve seen footage from the campaign. I’m willing to bet they’ve at least started it by now. :wink:

But on a serious note, we know that campaign has been playable from start to end for a while now, and is most likely complete and nearly bug-free at this point.

Well, the game is going gold soon, so they’re probably just polishing up the Campaign at this point.

This.

Might be Flood in Halo 5 or 6 though.

Reach is rated M for Blood and Violence.

Is anyone really surprised that Halo is rated M? It’s just the norm.
