The ESRB revealed their rating for Sony’s upcoming MMO shooter – MAG:
“This is a first-person shooter in which players select one of three private military corporations (Valor, Raven, and SVER) and complete covert missions to destroy opposing units in a massively-multiplayer online context. Players use assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, knives, and grenades to kill enemies in frenetic and fast-paced combat. Soldiers can be shot repeatedly, even after they have fallen to the ground (i.e., postmortem damage). When an enemy is shot or knifed, small red blood puffs are visible (under 1 second on screen). The expletive “hell” can be heard several times during the game.”
aww this ESRB desrription isnt as good as No More Heros 2
why tone down the game of blood and language? look at how well Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and the Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta are doing. yeah, the blood and language are not popularizing those games, but they are not hurting them either. Sony should have just went ahead and made this a M-rated game. softening the game content to earn a T-rating was counter-productive, imo.

I’m sure they didn’t “tone down” the blood and language, that’s just the way they made it and it happened to receive a Teen rating. Really, why do you need more blood and language?
think of it thia way, a lot of the reason mw2 was m was because of suggestive scenes in the campaign, mag has no campaign thus no suggestive scenes to worry about.
