\"codncis2\"Curious Teen Asks:\u00a0So, I’m 13 and not allowed to play M rated games. To the most part this does not bother me, but, seeing how most of my friends are constantly over a network with each other, It makes talking about games at school a little akward. Let’s get down to the point. If MW2 left out the controversial airport level, would it still be a rated m game? I know its a difficult question so a rough guess would be alright.<\/em><\/p>\n

No and for the same reason they gave the first Modern Warfare an M-rating. That one had a controversial level as well, I won’t spoil it, so I’ll call it the “Apocalypse Level” – but really it’s right there on the box. Removing the airport level would still leave the Intense Violence, Drug Reference and Blood.<\/p>\n

That said I’d like parents to consider his other point. \u00a0It doesn’t make it right and the decision is all yours, but teenage-hood often means “fitting in” and sometimes not having something can be a real bummer. \u00a0Non-gamers are probably likening it to a group of buddies saying “What? Your parents won’t let you see Avatar?!?” when it’s really more like:<\/p>\n

“What? Your parents won’t buy you a Hockey Stick\/Tennis Racket to play with us?” – sucks huh. But it is worth noting that Tennis Rackets and Hockey Sticks aren’t necessarily violent in the same way a game is. \u00a0I’m just saying NOT playing with your friends online – bonding and then talking about it at school – sucks.<\/p>\n

But then again, lots of things suck when you’re a Teen.<\/p>\n
