I'm old too, and I definitely prefer blood and gore. Especially when you have assassinations, Halo 5's assassinations looked ridiculous without blood imo. Halo CE to 4 had blood. Halo 5 had very little, it's another thing that's been watered down and practically removed from Halo. We've lost too much of the games identity over the years, time to put things back imo.Beliar2968 wrote:I'm old and I don't need Blood and Gore.
The ratings don't guarantee or dismiss the presence of the Flood. Halo 3 and Halo ODST were rated PEGI 16 (violence) here in the UK, one had Flood one did not. Even Halo Wars 2 and Reach are rated PEGI 16 (violence). Halo Infinite could easily have the Flood and be rated PEGI 16, or not.Ken Static wrote:The only time there was "gore" in a FPS Halo title was when the flood were there. Considering we don't see that in Infinite's current raring, safe to say there's either no flood (which would be a serious injustice since the game takes place on Installation 07 which is loaded with ridiculous flood history) or they toned it back a bit with the graphic content, which I wouldn't mind. But what difference does blood and gore make? It only makes the game unnecessarily grittier.
There's not even any blood splatter though. Halo CE times were good....Drahicr wrote:The odd splatter is fine as was the flood gibs but we don't need human and cov gibs. This isn't quake / doom / unreal.
I would have no issue with chunks flying in Halo. It was so much fun blowing spartans apart in Gears 5. I'll agree Halo doesn't need it, but I would love it. However, I would at least like blood back to the levels we had in Halo CE.Drahicr wrote:The odd splatter is fine as was the flood gibs but we don't need human and cov gibs.

As a "spiritual reboot" it would make sense to go back to Halo CE gore level. More so that they are trying to make the game look like a modern Halo CE.eviltedi wrote:I would have no issue with chunks flying in Halo. It was so much fun blowing spartans apart in Gears 5.

I agree. I view the watering down of blood and gore as another thing from Halo we've lost. I think Halo has lost too much over the years. I loved the first time I shot a dead marine and saw the ridiculous amount of blood. Then I proceeded to shoot every dead thing I could to see what colours came out, was it silly or childish ? Possibly, but it was fun and something I loved about Halo, needs to return imo.Sparhawk122 wrote:As a "spiritual reboot" it would make sense to go back to Halo CE gore level.

Its rated T for teen instead of M for mature like every other Halo game so I wouldnt set my hopes too high. There may very well be even less gore than in halo 5.IndospikedU wrote:I really hope 343 goes back to Halo's roots and applies an optional setting to have more blood and gore splatter in the game. I'm a gamer in my late 20's and I miss some of the realism the previous games added by having realistic blood effects. I know they're aiming for a T rating but I'm hoping they can compromise in some way to give the older fans the true OG Halo experience.
