I love playing Halo 3 (well until I gave away my 360 for breaking down), the game is amazing and one fact is true…you will get banter with people from other countries which can turn in to racist talk.
This is just how a small proportion of the gamers are, but in the video below you can see a news report made by Fox News. What’s interesting is not the fact that they are talking a load of racist comments and swearing, but they all look under 18 and some even under the 15 age mark that Halo 3 is rated at.
Why are their parents letting them play a mature rated game?
So does this show that some parents not getting involved in anything their children are doing until its way too late?

turn team chat on so you can’t hear the other team…
Its Parental responsibility, Besides, I have Halo 3 and xbox live and I hardly ever hear any of this (whith the exception of a few F bombs and other small common curses like S… and D… other than that I think it is fine, and it’s not Halo, It’s Xbox live in general, this happens among most others, It occurs the most here because it is more popular. Mute your mic or turn voice off if it bothers you, then play the game
I am glad to see a news article that doesnt blame game publishers for these problems. It is and always has been up to the parents. There are game ratings for a reason. M ratings shouldnt be played by children because of the game content, yet parents still let them play. I am an adult and I admit there are major issues with people saying racial or sexual things online to children, but when it comes down to basically being a nameless / faceless person…people have no manners. Parents, you are in control. Watch what your children are playing and who they are talking to. If anything…use mute!
Letting your underage kids play Mature games should be countered with a 500$ fine, and go up in increments of 500$ each offense.
im 16 and dont do anything rude online, its the parents fault for not listening in on their kids now and then.
Like Austin S said you can mute your mic to keep from hearing the other team if it bothers you.
You do know you can mute people and file complaints? It’s really not that hard to do. And if everyone is so up in arms about the language of others, you would think that blasting someone’s head off would be a more sensitive issue. But I guess you liberal c**ts just have nothing better to do than f**k yourselves.
lol wtf whenever they were talking smack there mic icon wasnt even showing that they were talking, this is all staged! u have to press UP on the D-pad fag! this vido is just blag
If a parent cannot read the mature rating on the FRONT of the halo 3 game they have no right being a parent. If your to lazy to monitor what your child does, and who they talk to then go get mario brothers and pick up a parenting book.
