Prime 1 was already pushing the T-rating with its mangled corpses and splattered alien goo. Keeping that same kind of content but doing it with more realistic graphics and playing up the horror angle would probably get you to an M-rating without the need for any juvenile excesses.

The player engaging in violence against humans or human-like beings is what yields M-ratings. Corpses and alien goo mean hardly anything. Heck, your proposal would probably not be enough to convince the German ratings board to make it 16+.

The Convenent in Halo were hardly any more "human" that the Space Pirates in Prime.
