Course language and gore often detract from the overall story and are often used as cheap gimmicks. The overall feel of the game is meant to be dark yet hopeful. I think too much gore would result in a less hopeful enviroment. Please do not use the word need it is the esrb's decision not yours. Ifeel as if their needs to be a new rating for games like halo that between cartoony teen games and ultraviolent gore M games.
