Rob the robot from IGN had a good tip about this:

Kill your parents then tell the judge that they were abusive because they wouldn't let you get halo 3, any judge that knows about xbox live will instantly set you free.

Rob has not sterred Lindsey Lohan wrong or OJ Simpson, so follow this great advice!

If they're willing to buy a game for you, but don't want it to be filled with blood and gore, explain to them that you aren't fighting or killing people, but instead, you're fighting against an alien menace bent on destrying humanity. You don't kill people in Halo, you kill aliens.

Are your parents leary of it because it's a First Person Shooter and so many wack-job idiot "wah mom never loved me enough" kids went shooting up their schools and in some cases evidence shows that some of those kids played alot of FPS's? Because honestly, that's an understandable fear for your parents to have, if that's the case.

Ask them if they're working for the covenant.

But really... tell them that they're stripping you of your childhood. If that doesn't work... tell them you'll watch the news instead, that's always more violent than video games.

Edit: Get Assassin's Creed. You could never get a wrist blade and kill more than 1 person. A gun would enable at least 2 deaths. Therefore to minimize your future murders, play AC.

Theres almost no blood, theres no swearing, no sexuality. Come to think of it how the hell did Halo ever get an M rating. Someone should really talk to the ESRB cause thats pretty dumb come to think of it.

Get Gears of War instead. Tell them they were right for not letting you get Halo 3, and that GoW is like dumbed down version(violence wise) of Halo 3. GoW is better anyway.

It teaches good clean family values that everyone should learn like

How to defend the earth from a race of aliens bent on the destruction of the human race.

And How to incinerate someone with a flame thrower.

Don't get Halo 3, it sucks out loud. Save your breath for a better, more original game.

You could try to convince your parents to let you rent the game so they can see it and pass judgement first hand instead of just going but what they read/hear. More than likely once your parents see the game they'll realize it isnt that bad.

Forget convincing them to get you halo 3 kid. Convince them to get you a striper for a night, it will make you grow some hair on your chess.

I am sure his parents are going to be thrilled when he uses the chainsaw

By the way your parents love you and they are concerned for you so just accept their decision

and thank them for me.

If there was more people like your parents on line gaming would be a lot better

That plan has some holes in it, I learned all of that in 4th Grade science class.

I know how that goes... how old r u?.. ur parents need to take a leap out of being overprotective. Halo isn't even graphic... its just got some colorful pictures and a few guns... you see more violence on CNN on a daily basis

wow.... the ONLY reason i agree is b/c i can't stand little 5 year olds on Live. But besides that I think that parents need to let their children live their lives, and not shelter them

They are probably just trying to protect you from Halo 3. It's a shiny piece of software that looses its shine quickly.

They don't want you to be scarred by disappointment.
