![]() Augmented Reality laser tag is going to be amazing.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's That brief prelude to our match, when we disappointingly had to take them off, was one of the coolest, sci fi experiences I've had. This was my first time trying Microsoft's cutting-edge device, and it more than lived up to the hype. Glowing objective markers that hovered in mid-air, a video game brought to life, led us to a briefing room where our team assembled around a holotable where our CO explained, Admiral Ackbar-style, the mission parameters and led us through key points on the map. After getting off to a late start (Kanye wanted to play, so everyone else's appointments were pushed back - typical!), we were led into a room and fitted for the the AR glasses. I can tell you this much for sure: it definitely looks and feels like Halo.įirst, an aside: far and away the most exciting part of my hands-on preview with Halo 5: Guardians was the briefing before the actual match, which used Microsoft's augmented reality HoloLens headset. I got a chance to see for myself while here at E3, playing a match of the new Warzone multiplayer mode. Ever since the Xbox One was announced in 2013, fans have been eager to see what the flagship shooter franchise would look like with the new console's power. ![]() Halo 5: Guardians was one of the tent poles of Microsoft's E3 roster this year.

It isn’t clear if publisher Microsoft Studios or developer 343 Industries made toning down the gore a priority, of if it was a design decision made without regard to the game’s rating. Notably missing from the description is the gore described in earlier games, particularly that displayed from the player’s human allies when killed. “The word ‘a*’ appears in the dialogue, as well as occasional taunts/insults (e.g., ‘I have copulated … with your genetic progenitors!’ ‘Your father was a filthy colo and your mother was a hole in the wall!’).” The description also addresses the language used in a game. Characters can also use ‘assassinations’ to kill characters by snapping their necks, or by stabbing them with bladed weapons,” the ESRB description reads. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and occasional blood-splatter effects. “Players use pistols, machine guns, grenade launchers, and futuristic weapons to kill alien and human enemies in frenetic combat. The ESRB page for Halo 5: Guardians lists three content descriptors: “Blood,” “Mild Language,” and “Violence.” In comparison, previous Halo games have all been rated for “Blood and Gore,” instead of just “Blood.” This is likely part of the less severe rating, though looking at the ESRB’s description, it doesn’t look like this is a kinder, gentler Halo. This is slightly curious, as if you’ve seen any of the trailers released for the game, you’ll notice that the game doesn’t seem less violent than its predecessors. Halo 5: Guardians will be rated T for Teen according to a recently posted ESRB rating spotted by Polygon. That all changes with the newest installment in the series. Still, that hasn’t stopped the main entries in the series from being rated M for Mature by the ESRB. When compared to modern military shooters or even games like Grand Theft Auto V, the Halo series has never seemed particularly gory, especially since most blood seen in the games comes in various neon shades of any color but red.
