Doubt it

People still look at video game age ratings? Wow, especially considering the primary demographic of Cod players seem to be prepubescents.

Only the Original Trio COD games are rated Teen. The rest are rated Mature.

But if you want to play the Black Ops games, they have an option where you can reduce Graphic Content.

Yes, Brane. When I was 13, My dad didn't get me Wolfenstein: The New Order because he looked at the game rating and it said…

Rated Mature

Blood and gore

Intense violence

Strong language

Strong sexual content

Use of drugs

I watched a whole walkthrough of that game on YouTube when I was 16, and I was glad Dad paid attention to the rating. I wish more parents would do the same…

Most parents are aware that ratings are not going to stop their kids, and barring them is only going to make them seem more appealing.

My mom got me MW2 for my 13th birthday, and playing it with my friends for the first time brings back so many positive memories.

There are far more harmful things 13 year olds could be doing than playing games above their age limit.

Makes sense. Even I played MW3 for the first time when I was 14, and that was purely because I had a bad day and was enraged. But when I got into the game, it wasn't as explicit as I thought it was (not a single F-bomb was dropped in the MW3 campaign, fun fact).

So that story is what got me into the Modern Warfare series. I then got COD4 and MW2 on my 15th birthday (because I HAD to experience the previous games in the series), and I was even more into Call of Duty as a whole upon getting Black Ops 3 in Christmas 2016.

That's another thing, games are rated far higher than they should be (more than films), even ones with minimal violence.

Games should not be judged by their rating rating rather be given an example of what could be or could not be in the game for example Witcher 3 could you have #$& yes and no it's all optional save for the beginning scene which is just nudity, but if we're talking about call of duty of course there's violence and blood and gore it's war, war is not fun and easy to look at. So it should be judged by your parents whether you can play it or not hell I played black ops 1 way earlier then I was supposed to but that was no one in my household knew how to judge how violent a game was.

The OG ones were T

Also age ratings are mostly useless and overexaggerated, and this franchise is the same. CoD could pass as T or even E10 if the people at ESRB had sense

Bruh my parents were like u can only play T rated games up till like 12 then at 13 they let me play M rated games it makes no sense
