Halo 5: Guardians To Be The First Halo Game Rated 'Teen'

To me, Halo has always felt like a T rated series what with the mild fantasy warfare, but in fact, every title up until this point (besides Halo Wars), has been addorned an M in the States. I know here in the UK, most of the games have the less severe 16 rating, but in the US, you've had to be an adult to buy the game.

Well Halo 5: Guardians is going to break that mold. It has been revealed that the title will get a T rating by the ESRB (via NeoGAF). Here is the explanation from he organsation that has what you might deem contain slight spoilers.

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a super soldier (Locke) searching for a missing character. 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 "assassinations" to kill characters by snapping their necks, or by stabbing them with bladed weapons. The word "a*s" appears in the dialogue, as well as occasional taunts/insults (e.g., "I have copulated…with your genetic progenitors!"; 'Your father was a filthy colo and your mother was a hole in the wall!').

Oh my! That last one!

Also, killing humans? That is a new one.
