I'm sorry, but that is just ridiculous. What kind of parent would allow thier 6 year old kid, or even 2 year old to begin with, to play video games that are rated for violence and gore? Ugh...this upsets me.

At least, you know his gamertag, so you can decline to play if with him, if he appears in one of your matches.

I love it when kids that old school me in halo. For some reason, I dont feel so bad when its a young kid vs. somone who is older and closer to my own age.

I work my butt off to keep my kids away from this kind of stuph (letting them play Nemo, Scooby Doo, etc while they are young). Yah, this helps the cause

Well, if this kid grows up and commits a crime we know we can always blame Halo 2..........j/k
Personally, I would be interested to see just how good this kid is. Has anyone seen him play?

The picture of that kid looks CGd to me. Am I the only one who thinks that doesn't look like a real person?
Or is this obviously a hoax and I am being dumb for not playing along?

This sounds like a lame and exploitative PR stunt.

Wait, you may be onto something. If the picture's a fake, what does this mean?
