Rating Summary
Halo Wars is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Mild Blood, Mild Language, and Violence.
This is a real time strategy (RTS) action game in which players engage in futuristic battle against an alien race. Players collect and manage resources to mobilize/upgrade their units (e.g., UNSC Marines, SPARTAN special forces units, armored vehicles) and fight in large-scale battles. Combat is depicted from a top-down perspective as players use firearms, explosives, and flamethrowers against enemies. Explosions, fire effects, and cries of pain highlight gameplay action, while cutscenes sometimes depict impalement of human soldiers. One cutscene depicts streaks of red blood on a sergeant's face, neck, and torso. Expletives (e.g., "b*tch," "a*s," and "hell") can be heard during battle and also in the dialogue of some cutscenes.
