I am all for Call Of Duty age restrictions to be put down a few years so people 13/14+years to play and get their parents to get them the game but
what I don't understand how a parent will walk into the store and buy they're 9 year old an 18+ Game? I just dont see how this seems logical to them ? I know CoD isn't all blood and gore but its the printable right?

Any feedback is appreciated as i am keen to see what you think.

This is an opinion, I am not trying to change the world please understand that.

When I was younger, I ALWAYS played 18's. They didn't affect me, I wasn't changed in anyway whatsoever, I think that as long as the kid can handle it and doesn't learn/replicate from what they've seen and can form a barrier between a game and real life, then I have no issues. It's the parents choice though, they're responsible

There is no point in not letting them because every online game will have players who are rude/abusive and anyway its not like they make you mad or anything.

Well, sometimes parents don't make the best judgement. Sometimes they buy the game just to keep the kid out of their hair. But, as long as the child isn't replicating/acting out anything he/she see's in the game then I think that it's not really that bad.

Its because children want popular things such as COD. once one kid has it his friend will want it and he will nag at his parents until he gets it and then his friend will want it and so on.

i agree and also lets be honest here, every game that isn't usually rated M for mature is shit and horrible, all the triple A games of last year and this year (Skyrim, Battlefield 3,Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2, hitman absolution) are all rated M, i am currently 16 years old and i have been playing on xbox since i was 10, if it weren't for M games i would have stopped playing a looooong time ago, M games are the only good ones
