Dude, any game where you can run around with a full arsenal and kill ANYTHING LIVING (in halo2 you can kill your human allies, in gta you kill human allies and enemies), and there is blood and its all at your freewill, of course the game is rated M.

What do you mean "compared to SA". Both games qualify for an M rating. Obviously SA is much worse then Halo and is much closer to the A rating, but it cannot be rated A until there is sexual content. Thats why only now is the GTA SA rating being boosted to A (hot coffee mod...)

but then again how are these ratings actually affecting us gamers? I thought the rating were just used to help parents decide what games are appropriate for their kids.

You have to consider that there are other kids who are newcomers in gaming(N00bs) so unlike you (maybe) they haven't been desensibilised over years and years of killing things.
I mean I have almost completely desensibilised by games and by the media so seeing blood in real life or in videogames is just another everyday thing for me, but for some 12 year old kid it is not so common, I guess....

is it really that unfortunate that a 12 year old becomes "desensibilised" by violence in a game it has to happen sometime...it has happen to all of us

We need to set a new standard. A GOOD GAME IS A GOOD GAME...violent or not.

Well, the way my parents raised me was a bit oldschool-ish so I'd rather not live in a world where little kids start talking trash over the net before they learn how use the toilet, it simply makes us less humane, well some of us.

lol, that part of the post is epic.

Not sure i agree with your entire post, but we did grow up in a time when you got your ass kicked for trash talking. Now you get tossed in jail or it happens on the internet and unfortunately our arms just aren't long enough to kick the ass of someone in another state/country, lol.

We have to hope that people will have the ability to figure out right from wrong...i'm sure most people know that going around killing innocent people is a bad thing to do.

wow. thats an intelligent post.:rolleyes: dude you don't compare them. each of them are rated m because they each contain mature content. how old are you?
