Halo 4 Filter

I just really want Halo 4 and its new trilogy to have a No Blood and No language Option. Follow and Comment if you agree and why.

My goal is to be able to have 343 see this and know that the community cares and wants to work together to put their word in the game.

I don’t see why to be perfectly honest with you. In terms of violence and cursing Halo has been one of the most tame games out there. It’s only Rated M because the Flood bodies can be blown to pieces but as Halo Wars and Halo Reach demonstrate, when the Flood is absent the game is Rated T. I would absolutely hate Halo if they attempted to make it Rated E or E10. Halo is a War game and War is Hell.

Halo Reach is rated M, not T.

Halo Wars:
-Mild Blood
-Mild Language
-Violence

Halo Reach:
-Blood
-Language
-Violence

The difference only being the “mild” label. I would think the language is obvious, as there are many AI lines in Reach where allies swear. As for the blood I would assume it has to do with Halo Wars only ever showing blood in a few of the cutscenes, as opposed to Reach’s blood flying from anything you shoot. Also, perspective could have a lot to do with it, one being FPS and the other being RTS. One could argue that blood and violence are more visceral in first person.

Hmm perhaps it is however my copy of Reach is labeled for Blood and Violence but not for Language of any kind. Still I’ve never had any kind of problem with Halo’s rating. It has a nice blend of violence and language that doesn’t go overboard. The OP is probably one of three things: A youngin’ who wants the rating lowered so that he/she can buy it, A youngin’ with an overbearing parent who won’t let them have it because it’s too violent or they are actually the overbearing parent themselves.

I hate parents who insist on censoring the world because of their kid. It’s not their place to do so.

I play Gears of War with some players who actually prefer the censored version(Sparks instead of blood, no swearing). But that’s their prerogative. When it comes to censoring or scaling back content I agree that it’s a choice that you can make for yourself and your children, not other people. I always think back to the 90’s and the crusades against music (Manson, Eminem, etc.) and games (Doom, GTA in the early 2000’s) and always feel disgusted that instead of being parents and paying attention people wanted government intervention to raise their kids.

Edit: Also it must not be that he wants the option to get a lower rating, as the ESRB has to rate the highest possible rating based on ALL content on the disc, even if you can’t access it without mods/hacks (the GTA hot coffee recall that would’ve made the game AO instead of M)

I doubt Halo will have this option, seeing how it is already fairly tame. A game like Gears of War needs one, but Halo is already tame.

Honestly, if you can’t handle Halo then maybe you shouldn’t be playing it.

I’m not gonna sit here and write an essay as to why you’re wrong / silly.

I’m just gonna say the game is rated m (17+) and move on.

I see what you are all trying to say, I can completely handle blood and gore. I have been playing it since halo 2 right before halo 3 came out. I am used to it and hardly even notice it. But I just don’t want language in my life because that is often something I try to avoid And I feel like blood is something that doesn’t need to be there, so why have something in there that could possibly slow the system. I don’t want this game to be T, I just kinda want it to just be M for violence, the only reason anyone is playing halo, that and story.

With Johnson and the Flood out of the series, I bet there will be a lot less swearing and gore out of the Halo series.

Halo: Wars did have the Flood. You must be thinking about ODST.

Any way REACH and ODST did not have the flood but were still rated M.

Reach had the flying buggers that exploded if you shot them in the head.

i think the true advantage of having a filter on language and gore is that there has to be language and gore to filter. It would be so amazing if Master chief pulled a bruce willis and as he’s about to blow up something he says “yippe kai aye mother******”.

What are you 5

its a game who cares if it has blood …

you mean this? https://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst52196_Halo-4-search-filter.aspx

5 year olds can’t be in High School bro. And I will still buy Halo 4 if there isn’t a filter, I can completely handle blood and gore, the fact that I don’t want blood isn’t because I can’t handle it. You play Halo because of the violence and plot. Not because it has insane gore and tons of language. But you play Gears Of War because of its over the top violence, language, and blood. But since you don’t play halo because of the blood and language, why even put it in. I’m not saying I want them to completely censor out a game and make it T, there is no way they can do that with a First Person Halo game, when you have a certain series of games, ESRB already has a stereo type for what it should be rated based off the last one, and unless it gets worse, it usually doesn’t change at all. I don’t want them to change the rating ,I want a no blood option not because I can’t handle it, I have played so many worse games when it comes to blood, i want an option for it to be gone because It doesn’t need to be there, and I just personally don’t like language, I already deal with it enough in life.
