PARENTS READ THIS (ALSO KIDS READ THIS)!!!!

Not very much violence. To all the parents who are worried about their kids becoming violent beasts, don't worry, your kids will be fine unless they are a psychopath. This game is packed with good role models. Also, the reviews are wrong it should only be rated like, 13 or 12, along with the rest of the games in the series.

Sniper jackal

Second best Halo game, great story, good graphics even in 2022, but I still get PTSD from playing on Legendary difficulty. *Shudders* sniper jackal

A bloody, action-packed, sci-fi shooter sequel.

Parents need to know that this game is not for kids. It's a moderately challenging first-person shooter game with lots of blood, gore, and scariness. You will use guns, swords, grenades, and other weapons to inflict death. Some torture is shown and you can also hijack cars. Online play will likely expose players to foul language.

The Worst Halo By Far (Besides 5, We Don’t Talk About 5)

Halo 2 is a disappointing mess of a game. The missed potential is abhorrent. Parents should know that there is little blood and no gore. It introduces dual wielding, which was removed in a later game. If you played it as a child and want your children to play it too, ensure that they play it before CE, 3, ODST, Reach, 4, or Infinite. Otherwise, stay away from Halo 2 and just play 3, Infinite, or Reach.

ESRB is too harsh, this should be a T rating.

Great game! The ESRB was definitely too harsh on it, this deserves a T (teen) rating. this has shooting but it isn't that violent of a game. there is no gore, just some blue alien blood. the language isn't too bad and it isn't like dropping f bombs here maybe just some humorous stuff i think your kid can be ok with it master chief is a pretty cool guy and the game is really fun and easy to learn

Great amazing story I would argue is the best in video games period and with some bad campaign gameplay. However the multiplayer is absolutly amazing.

The "Terminator 2" of Video Games

I think this game is amazing. It was the best looking game on the original Xbox, the Narrative became more engrossing and complex (let's face it, introducing "The Arbiter" was an great choice story wise), and the multiplayer was revolutionary. Plus, it FINALLY answered the age old question of "Why do video game protagonists not have two hands?". Guess what? They do have two hands. And there is no feeling more awesome than dueling wielding machine guns, fighting covenant scarabs.
