http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/bbfc-whacks-18-rating-on-mw2 said:
The British Board of Film Classification has stamped Modern Warfare 2 with an 18 rating in the UK.
Infinity Ward's sequel passed without any cuts, and will be the first of the Call of Duty series to carry an 18 certificate.
Interestingly, the BBFC listing makes no mention of Call of Duty, which means Modern Warfare 2 will be the title. Finally.
Will an 18 rating impact the potentially record breaking sales potential? It didn't slow current launch day/week record holder Grand Theft Auto IV.
Incidentally, the BBFC still has UK power until PEGI is declared the UK standard by law. That will likely not be this year.

It's not like it matters.

The parents are still going to be buying the game for the kids so they can get them off their backs. Even if it goes to 21+ parents will still buy it for them.

I bet as soon as I start playing the game, I'll get a message from a squeaky little 10 year old asking to play Mike Myers. They should put a law on these ratings, anyone under the age of 14/15 isn't aloud to play a 18 rated game, if they get caught playing it, there parents gets a fine of 200 =]

I agree with Random :thumbup: Little kids sending me Mike Myers messages Get a little annoying. But i think him getting all the friend request messages annoys him more :rolleyes: Mwahahaha! :tongue: But Some dumb kids make their account and put their real age on so this should make it so you have a parental lock or something.

Sorry dude, but 13 is still young and shouldn't be allowed on games like this, especially since most 13 YO's have squeaky voices still.

And like someone else said, there should be a law for this stuff...or at least make it so the kids can't use mics and can't see blood/gore...and maybe see tellitubbies (sp? I'm sure a 13 YO can correct me lol) shooting from the guns or something instead of bullets lmao

Agreed. It's not just about their squeaky voices, they say the dumbest things too, like the other day, this little kid was annoying me, so I said come back when your balls drop, and he turned around and said "Hey, STFU, everyone who is a boy, their balls drop when they are a baby"
I'm then proper LOL'ing at him.
But seriously, WTF has his mother been telling him? But now, anyone who is squeaky just gets muted straight off, I like it when I go into a lobby and loads of people already have a fat X on their Gamertag xD

Yeah, not to mention the squeaky :cursing: (<--cursing for those that are slow). It annoys the living sh*t out of me to hear these little kids cussing up a storm. Do they think they sound cool? There should be a feature on XBL that will let you set it up so that if someone gets x amount of feedback for cursing, your account automatically mutes them when they are in the lobby. That way all these lil kids can get "foul language" feedback and all be muted by majority of us who would rather not hear that crud.
