Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an
undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
ESRB Game Ratings
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.
ESRB ratings have two equal parts:
•Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada.
•Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

Heads-up displays
>spartan HUD
Your Spartan III MJOLNIR armor is equipped with a full helmet that, in addition to offering unsurpassed protection from ballistic and energy projectiles, carries a sophisticated, tactical heads-up display (HUD).
The HUD not only shows your current loadout of grenades, weapons, and ammunition, it also provides real-time monitoring of two important biometrics: shield strength and body health. While your shield is fully rechargeable, it does not make you invulnerable; significant injuries may be too grave to allow full recovery in the short term,
so monitoring both shield and health status is imperative.
