Unlike previous mainline entries in the series, it appears that Halo 5: Guardians will not carry an “M for Mature” rating when it launches later this year. In a surprising move, the Esrb has decided to grant the title a “T for Teen” instead.
Outside of the strategy-based Halo Wars and top-down shooters Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike, the franchise has always been stuck with Mature ratings. If this Teen rating sticks, it would certainly be a shocker for long time fans of the franchise. The epic battles waged by Master Chief have always been violent affairs, and this go-around appeared to be no different.
Even going to the Esrb page for Halo 5 doesn’t quite answer the question of why it could be rated Teen. In fact, the description doesn’t seem that much different from the previous five main entries.
