Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and occasional blood-splatter effects. “Players use pistols, machine guns, grenade launchers, and futuristic weapons to kill alien and human enemies in frenetic combat. The ESRB page for Halo 5: Guardians lists three content descriptors: “Blood,” “Mild Language,” and “Violence.” In comparison, previous Halo games have all been rated for “Blood and Gore,” instead of just “Blood.” This is likely part of the less severe rating, though looking at the ESRB’s description, it doesn’t look like this is a kinder, gentler Halo. This is slightly curious, as if you’ve seen any of the trailers released for the game, you’ll notice that the game doesn’t seem less violent than its predecessors. Halo 5: Guardians will be rated T for Teen according to a recently posted ESRB rating spotted by Polygon. That all changes with the newest installment in the series. Still, that hasn’t stopped the main entries in the series from being rated M for Mature by the ESRB. When compared to modern military shooters or even games like Grand Theft Auto V, the Halo series has never seemed particularly gory, especially since most blood seen in the games comes in various neon shades of any color but red.
