Polygon’s article about Halo 5’s rating is interesting. In particular is the ESRB’s description of Halo 5
> 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!’).
“I have copulated with your genetic progenitors!” “Your father was a filthy colo and your mother was a hole in the wall!”
Aaand the IWHBYD skull’s gonna be awesome.

I feel that skull was borderline useless in Halo 4. Looking forward to the madness that ensues with it on in Halo 5!
Now that the Prometheans can insult us in English as well, it’s going to get interesting real fast. More diversity in the chattering!
