In Response To: Matt? What happend to teen rating? (Paul Roberts) I guess the first thing I should say is something I don't get to say very often: this rumor is actually true. Halo's rating has changed from Teen to Mature. How this happened is a long and tedious story. The short version goes something like this: The more they thought about it, the more Halo seemed like a Mature title to the folks at the ESRB. They told us we would need to make some changes to the game if we wanted to keep a Teen rating. Some of these changes were relatively trivial and did not make the game any less fun or compromise the vision of the designers. Others would require a lot of last-minute work and change the atmosphere of the game in significant ways. The team decided to keep the game as we originally submitted it to the ESRB, which meant shipping Halo with an M rating. This affects us significantly: M-rated games are not sold in certain national stores, not advertised in certain markets, and are often off-limits to young people. If any of these factors prevent you from getting your hands on Halo, we're sorry - we did what we felt we had to do. -Matt | |
