With the recent Titanfall Alpha Test and Xbox One Titanfall Controller news coming out, we received word from the ESRB that Titanfall would be rated M for Mature. News comes as no surprise if you have seen trailers and footage of the game in the last year. Below is a breakdown of the reasons why it received the rating.

Blood and Gore

Strong Language

Violence

This is a team-based first-person shooter in which players fight as either members of a militia or as soldiers from the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation.

Players use a variety of firearms (e.g., pistols, machine guns, missiles, grenades, mines, sniper rifles) and mech-style robots called Titans to seek out and kill enemy forces.

Titans use their robotic arms to punch soldiers and vehicles and can also use large-scale firearms (e.g., chain guns, mine launchers, electric pulse guns) to kill enemies.

Combat is frenetic and realistically depicted, with frequent cries of pain, impact sounds, and blood splashes. Some weapons blow enemies apart into small chunks of flesh; Titans can also punch enemy soldiers or crush enemy Titan pilots until they burst into chunks.

The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.
