Halo1+2 Appropriate for a teen?

thats the problem though. as much as halo 1 is fine...our society has kids saying the F*** word at 8, and I would rather have a kid not playing halo 2 or grand theft auto at 12. I just feel that they're mature rated for a reason(excluding halo1)

My nephew doesn't swear though because he knows it's wrong.

Why the hell do people have to fuss over something as petty as this
SOOOOOOOO what if kids are playing them
Its the parents that get the games for them
Take the disscusion up with them
NOT THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY THE GAMES - WHAT DO YA THINK THEIR GOING TO SAY 😖leep: 😗

the 'real' problem is that children dont know their place these days.. I have nephews that sometimes forget who I am and start talking to me like I'm their 8th grade buddy.. Im like "Hello?... I know you arent talking to 'me' like that..." and they'll apologize... if you teach children to understand who they are (and not act like they're 18 or 20 years old talking to adults on an adult level), then I believe there will be less profanity and slacking in terms of manners.

I agree with SAtsuJIN

Besides if they start, give them a clip around the ear

It stinks i cant play and i think its the best game ever i wish ther would bring the rating down to teen

i think that the games should not be rated m its not like theres blood all over the place or arms and heads rollin around.theres like no swears and i know a 6 year old that plays it all the time

I hate it when people won't let their teenaged kids play video games because they're "too violent"... If you act more violent because of playing a stupid game, you're a moron and need counseling.

I really does piss me off when i hear people talk about this, Parents dont know anything, Just Buy the Game yourself, or get som1 else to buy it, or just tell ur parents to FO basicly

I think that the HALO games are appropriate for "Teens" of the age 14+, but any younger than that - no way.
But I'd be more worried about Little 8 year old Timmy playing GTA: San Andreas down the street, rather than Bobby the 12 year old playing HALO at his house.....😉

Yes, its abit more worrying seeing a 8 year old swearing his head off then a 8 year old pretending he is Master Chief.

I agree that Halo1/2 are not laced with blood effects and mutilated corpses but the thing that gets me (being an avid xbox online user) is the amount of swearing, racist and idiots that the child is being exposed too, that sort of stupidity has no place in modern society. Offline is fine for kids but there too impressionable to go online. However the guy that started this is 17 and I would expect him to learn to ignore this.

Hmm... You do fire many weapons into humanoid baddies but the aliens are so colorful that it's hard to take it seriously.

Plus David Cross does voice work. That alone should warrant the game.

It's cool. It's like PG-13. 😛

Oh, sorry. That's my bad, I'll try to be nicer. 😛

It's nothing that won't be on any other T rated game or in movies or on TV, so I say you should be allowed to play it... 😬

If the parent is afraid the kid will start cursing, than they should be responsible enough to not allow the child to play online. However, like I said before, I think it is certainly okay for teens and kids under the age of 17 to play it.
