OK, they have a good point, but I rarely hear racial slurs. On Halo 2 I would hear sufficiently more cursing, but on Halo 3 everyone else is having too good of a time. But I might hear the N bomb every 50-100 games and I never hear anything about latinos or Jews. I don't think Fox News would just run into a bunch of people using racial slurs out of the blue. And if trash talking ever hurt someone's feelings or changed their behavior, they should immediately quit Halo and find a stuffed animal. Lol.
They even said it themselves in the video. Nothing is better for preventing this than an active parent. If they don't like it, they can GTFO.
You know I rarely hear that kind of stuff, I have heard no racial comments noor that bad language. All I hear is F when they die. Attack COD4 quit picking on halo lol
lol stuffed animals. but basically what I don't understand why attack halo alone I mean its pretty much the same ppl who play on XBL, so why target one single game? I mean games may atract slightly different crowds, but its basically the same ppl
i am sickened. period. btw how do gain rank (i am an unsc trainee) not actually in halo im not stupid but in forgehub?
Ok, that was spam and this is not the place to ask that. Anyway, you gain rank by posting. The more posts, the higher your rank.
This is bull. Nobody forces people to listen. Nobody is forced to buy this or play it. Yeah it's wrong but if you don't like it get off, don't play, or mute, file complaint, avoid. It's quite simple.
First of all every single one of those kids were under the age of 18 in that interview fox has no story... Maybe the story should be... Parents buy M rated Game for Son! Fox has no cred anyway... The media is so corrupt
ty. I agree, if there are a multitude of ways to avoid it. I don't see y this is halo's, or really anyones fault. if u have a problem, deal with it urself. don't complain and blame
Ok? So we say a couple of Hitler jokes, throw the F-Bomb around and yell out ******. What is so different from Xbox Live to a High School blacktop?
KC is right. It's rated M for a reason. If your parents don't want you to hear "naughty" language, then they shouldn't buy the game. Also, there is a little thing they neglected to mention on FOX- something called the mute button. If people just used that, then they wouldn't have to worry about trash talkers in the first place. -_-'
Two things... One, at the start up of every video game with online capabilities, there is a nifty little message that states: "Game Experience May Change During Online Play". This on top of a Mature rating for Halo 3 means that there is going to be trash talking and sometimes racial slurs. In all of the time that I have played Halo 3 I have just heard the "N Word" a couple of times. Second, all of this should not matter in the first place, because peers always use curse words excessively at high schools. So in both cases (Video Games and High School), we have this 'problem' but there is one key variable. The difference is that a good parent would know that if a game is mature rated, then it is going to have mature content on it, including excessive cursing. In this case, the parent can control whether or not their child can play this game. In the second case, high school, parents cannot really do anything about it; this has to be dealt by yourself, not your parents.
Don't we hear this on our Televisions and on the internet? So why would they single out Halo 3 and Microsoft.
Fox doesn't make any sense. "Credit card information was stolen, a gun threat, a kidnapping, yet none of this has stopped teens from waiting in long lines for the latest exploits of Halo 3". Hrm, yes Fox News, good point. Pretty irresponsible of my past-self to buy Halo without first taking into account events that will occur in the future.
This is the exact reason why I quite watching TV. I haven't watch TV in a year (which also saves a lot of money) because my dad watches Fox every night religiously and its ridiculous to see them first talk about real news - the presidential election, Iraq, etc. - and then at the end they will say something like "now let's look in to the life of [input celebrity's name here] and see where their fame and fortune came from." Now Fox is no better than MTV or VH1. As for the shots on Halo, I take the mute approach. Place voice communication on team and party only, and then just play with your friends that you know.
What bothers me is that the title is "Fox News DARES attack Halo 3?" We're not 4chan. :-/ And we're certainly not /b/
I stopped watching at 1:16 because I couldn't take it anymore... "Games like xbox allow you to face NAMELESS..." Yeah, sure. It's an M rated game, and report and mute the person if you have a problem.
