IF Halo Had more Blood and gore I bet it wouldnt be as Mainstream

Dont get me wrong Halo 3 will be a great game but lets face it, I gurantee if Halo had as much Gore as say Gears of war, there is no way you would see stuff like "Halo mountain dew fuel" and the Nascar race car that will be decked out in Halo 3 the sunday of launch or being on the cover of Time magazine. Thats why Gears wasnt hyped as much as halo because of the gore factor and there would have been a lot of complaints if it was hyped by the mainstream media like Halo is

Dont get me wrong, It would still be hyped tons by gamers, but you just wouldnt see that much mainstream hype about such things as being on the cover of time magazine, pepsi supporting it etc.

Halo = M for Mature

Gears of War = M for Mature

Gears of War was a huge mainstream hit... it's the best-selling game on 360 right now.

And if Halo did have more blood and gore, I think people would like it even more. Kids these days, they're so violent.

And? It doesnt need any more gore.GazzaB

again im in no way speaking badly of Halo 3 but more toward how ironic the media is. Sure they are both rated "M" but lets face it, if halo had curbstomping skulls, chainsawing people with blood splattering on the screen, Sniping heads off etc. I can bet any money it wouldnt be as publicized like it is now

Gears of War was a huge mainstream hit... it's the best-selling game on 360 right now.

I'm pretty sure it was on the Time Magazine cover due to its huge popularity, not necesarrily because Time Magazine's editors play the game and like it a lot.

Gears Of War is becomeing just as Mainstream, and look how bloody and gorey that is.Hockey_Slayer

Gears, while an amazing game, can't even hold a candle to how mainstream Halo is.
