It's the hottest video game ever, and it's on a lot of kids' Christmas lists. The problem is, it may not be a good idea for those kids to play it.
Just weeks after its release, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" became the fastest selling entertainment procuct ever to reach a billion dollars in sales. It beat the movie "Avatar" by one day!
But its "mature" rating has a lot of parents concerned.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
... in the form of armed combat. Nothing wrong with that TBH.
Just sell their xbox, and buy them a wii, done..
Lol I'm joking. But yea, I kind of feel bad for the parents because theres really not that many options they can choose. A lot of teens play violent shooters nowadays, its just the way it goes.
And to be honest, when I'm playing CoD, I barely even see the blood when I shoot somebody
So don't get it for your child then if you think he can't handle it.
Stop giving into every of your kids' whims then , and learn to say no
It comes down to responsibility. These parents who are 'concerned' and moaning about violent games simply don't want to take direct responsibility for their chilren; they would prefer to kick up a fuss and try to get the games banned outright. That way somebody else takes the responsibility for depriving 'little Johnny' of his blood-fix.
As others are saying here, they should just refuse to let the child have the game if they feel it's unsuitable for that child.
