While many of us want an M rated game it’s looking less and less likely like that’ll be the case. Should the Flood return in Infinite they need to return properly. Dismemberment of anything except robots will likely result in an M rating which by this point has been made clear is being avoided at all costs.
Since multiplayer is intended to be the golden goose, and expanding its audience is apparently a priority just keep it at a T rating, but make campaign rated M. This is the best of both worlds. Campaign is unchained and unrestricted, and free to tell it’s story without being confined to a preschool play pen, and multiplayer remains appropriate for little Timmy.

It won’t happen unfortunately however I fully agree with the logic you proposed. I felt like Halo was best being edgy and dirty however it barely ever crossed that threshold so I understand why it’s Teen.

ESRB has come such a long way that I guarantee if halo 1 launched as a modern game it would be rated T for sure.
I mean, Darksouls 2 is rated T and has a -Yoink- ton of blood and even nudity lmao
I think there’s only one way the floyd return and the game can still be rated T, and I have no idea what the lore justification would be.
If the flood only infected Prometheans (who aren’t even confirmed to be returning) then we would have zombie robots. I thunk that could keep aT rating.
Not saying I want it that way, just throwing a theory out there.

Honestly the whole ESRB rating scale is a bit silly in context when you compare games to eachother, a lot of factors besides content go into the rating and I do wonder how useful the system even is.
