Halo 3 originally almost received an R-Rating for "strong science fiction violence", but director Bungie argued the rating down to a hard PG-13 rating for "sequences of strong science fiction violence, gore images and language". Here are some examples of the violence:

- Standard gun violence. People are shot & killed and some blood smears on surfaces after the killing.

- Blood seldum spurts when people are shot.

- Some of The Flood break apart when shot.

- When the Flood is brutally killing someone, the result is quite gory as he is ripped apart. Most off-screen.

- There is a strong epic battle warfare end scene. Lots of people are killed in often brutal ways.

- A man is stabbed DEEEEEEP in the abdomen.
