For God Sakes Police your Children dammit

[DirtyLikaRat]

Ok.. Here we go. First coff let me just say, as a single parent of three kids of my own, there is no way in hell of let any one of them play a game that is 100% filled with gratuitous violence, foul language, sexism, the list goes on.. Now I personally love all the aforementioned aspects of this game. (and I'm talking abut the developer created content.. I'm not even touching on the contributions of the players with their horrible language in proximity chat, threats of physical violence, bullying, shaming, etc etc. Again aspects of the game that I love... As a thick skinned 50yr old Army vet. But absolutely not material recommended for young children. So I don't know what you parents are doing while little Chucky who can barely form sentences, headphones mic securely strapped to their soft little heads, with mic at full volume. I can't tell you how many fucking times I have had to either play with the volume completely down or just left the game altogether because I couldn't concerrtrate nor enjoy the gaming experience, due to the fact that your little Dudley was screaming the theme song for Coco Melon into my ear holes, in barely intelligible English. Moms and Dad's... Please for the love of Christ, don't put your let Call of Duty be your baby sitter, while you sneal into the garage to smoke some meth and shoot up sken fentynyl... Be a thoughtful shitty parent and just lock the in the kitchen pantry or something. They'll be just fine. You probably have at least one box of Clover Valley brand Rice krispies he can snack on while you ruin your lives jn dope... But ditn make us players suffer. Please.... Police your godsamn children!

Thank you,

I just mute them because that is all that we can do about it. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is annoying to the max. Not just children either.

/agree with rant. Jumped on the other day and got 2 preteens in the party we formed and while one seemed to have some sort of understanding "do not speak unless you have info or are asking a needed question." the other asshat was rambling on about how many self revives he carries.. yeah we figured out why. cause you suck so bad and run your fucking trap so much NO one wants to revive you never mind have their dog do it cause you alone would kill the dog. UGH it made me feel bad for the one kid who had a handle on it but clearly this other kid had ADHD and was not on his meds or needed MORE.

yes I should have just muted him.

Call of Duty games usually have a "Mature" rating on the box, but parents will give the 10 year old a game that is intentionally marketed to 18+ age demographic as the box says. But word of mouth spreads and kids want to join in. Look, I've been playing games since I was 3 years old, and I've been playing violent games since I was around 14, but I've never gone out and become this degenerate loser you find on Call of Duty. These parents are not drilling in cultural norms. It's NOT okay to be racist. It's not ok to be mean. That sort of thing.

Activision sold Call of Duty to casuals. That's how they got the billions and billions of dollars of profit. Today they are relying on bundles/items, etc. but every $60/$70 purchase adds up, and builds into a 20 Million copies juggernaut. Today, Call of Duty has 400 Million installs/purchases. This includes 70 Million "Free to Play" Warzone installs.

So should we all report clearly underage players?

No joke one of the two kids the other day gave me a migrane with his voice... UGH

Activision won't care because it's mainly kids that buy all the skins & addons via the microtransaction BS.

Getting rid of the kids means losing a HUGE chunk of money. DLC today is absolutely dire compared to what it used to be. DLC used to EXTEND the game.

The last COD DLC I remember buying came with about 10 new maps, a new weapon etc and cost me on about £12 (BlackOps 2, Peacekeeper bundle)

Honestly, there is nothing worse than a couple of sub 10 year olds in a game.

Had one a while back who started crying when he got killed. I almost felt sorry for him, but thankfully the feeling passed quite quickly!

Funniest thing was when his Dad came in, realised his son had just ruined his KDR from camping/sniping and lost his shit completely.

Had a match last night.

Decent match tbf. Went to time and our side only lost by 1 but there was a child who went 2/38 and in the post match lobby was screaming "easy easy, get good losers"

Absolutely delusional.

Its funny the game was marketed to grown folks but the game treats us all like we are in nazi germany when you tell the 10 year old to shut the fuck up you end up with a 14 day mute.
