Bungie decides against changes to keep teen rating

Since pre-ordering Halo— including box art– some fans have been wondering about that big M seen there, because it looked disturbingly like an http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005NZ1G.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg alt= align= left hspace= 15 vspace= 15″ >Well, it is.

Matt has b.org Halo’s original rating of Teen — which still shows on their site– and upped it to Mature . While they could have made some changes to keep the T rating, Bungie decided against it.

Although the Xbox does have a built-in parental control, Matt would not have affected the rating, which is based on the content at the maximum allowable level. So in Halo there is no such control.

The new rating will mean that Halo will not be available in some locations, and purchasers will need to be at least 17 years old.
