Players use pistols, machine guns, grenade launchers, and futuristic weapons to kill alien and human enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and occasional blood-splatter effects. Characters can also use \u201cassassinations\u201d to kill characters by snapping their necks, or by stabbing them with bladed weapons. The word \u201ca*s\u201d appears in the dialogue, as well as occasional taunts\/insults (e.g., \u201cI have copulated\u2026with your genetic progenitors!\u201d; \u2018Your father was a filthy colo and your mother was a hole in the wall!\u2019).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly, the last\u00a0<em>Halo<\/em> title was\u00a0<em>Halo 4<\/em>. It received an M for Mature rating, and it highlights only Blood and Violence as its chief content descriptors. In fact, the description indicates less gory violence than\u00a0<em>Halo 5<\/em>\u2018s, which I found sort of odd.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the rating reduction? Does this indicate anything unusual for the new\u00a0<em>Halo<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><em>Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> is set to launch for the Xbox One on Oct. 27, 2015.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esrb.org\/ratings\/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=34053&amp;Title=Halo%205%3A%20Guardians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESRB<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ESRB has rated\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians, and it\u2019s given the game a T for Teen.
