It's so that all the twelve-year-old children can brag about how they're awesome because they own a highly overrated game that has an M rating. Also, they then start to think anyone that doesn't like Halo games is a "fagg0t." /halofags

Because being that it is graphically advanced to a game like COD2, it shows that...interesting stuff, in more detail; not like a red splatter in COD2, but the content really is QUITE minor. I honestly think there are much worse M games out there. I mean they slapped an M-rating on Oblivion at the last second before release, most likely because of the alcohol content, which is minor as well.

It seems that game companies are slapping M-ratings on games that show a little blood, and say a**. Yet we have movie raters who give a raunchy movie a PG-13 rating, even though is shows partial nudity, includes alcohol content, AND contains minor foul language (just like Halo 3, minus the partial nudity).

It's really insane when you think about it

Halo 3 has some occasional MILD swear words as well as a little blood (barely any). Those are the only things that I can think of that would bring its rating up... but M? I don't remotely understand why it got the same rating as Bioshock...
