Fine, get your hopes up. I'm just saying multiple people all saw and read the same thing, but ok.

What's with all the "blue and orange" comments? There's hardly any orange on the boxart.

I'm not "getting my hopes up," I'm just saying there's really no reason for Microsoft not to include it, especially since it's been in a Halo title by 343 Industries before and Microsoft's E3 conferences are 90% Kinect related these days.

It's like Activision deciding to not release a Call of Duty game for six years...it just doesn't make any sense.

Plus complementary colors are used all the time in artwork.

I am holding out some hope for Kinect functionality.

Its not like the game will be motion controlled or anything.

Mass Effect 3 used Kinect, and my play-through was better because of it.

Skyrim now uses Kinect, and it is a better more fluid game because of it.


Hating something just to hate it is much too prevalent on GAF.

I agree. I would put a game like Uncharted into the "M" category. Lots and lots of blood and swearing. Easily worse than Halo in that regard.

I never did either to be honest.

Especially taking this into consideration lol:



The COD games after COD2 got M ratings though (obviously).

Anniversary boxart doesn't have the kinect label though.

I've definitely never understood the Halo M rating, either. Hilarious that games like Halo Reach, Bulletstorm, and Gears of War 3 are all the same broad rating.

Halo 1 was originally rated T iirc

They changed their mind prior to release though

So it was borderline

The composition plays nicely with the mix of organic and rigid line. My eye seemed to follow around the Chief up to the starburst pattern and repelled down to the title. Not to mention the the overall monochromatic color scheme which helps improve the image quality and bring out the most detail.


Am pleased
