You need more age groups in your poll. IE... 18-24, 25-32, 33-39, 40+
ive seen alot of guys 40+ on xbl, theyre usually pretty good.

When you kids grow up, you'll look back and cringe at all the times you thought you acted so mature. Yes you think you're mature now because you don't use stereotypes or you play video games without being a jerk to other people. But when you grow up and really have to handle your life, then you'll be mature....hopefully.

People under 17 shouldn't be playing this game anyways.


i bet your 17 aren't you hahaha
why in the heck would you say 17 as the age that people become mature enough to play halo3? wtf.
random odd number.

i'm 16, that mean i shouldn't be playing ? I'm so sorry. I will now throw my xbox off a cliff... not.
get over yourself.
and by the way its MA, meaning 15+ (at least where i live!) so don't bring the rating into this equation.
why don't you go down to your local cinema, watch a few "mature" movies rated for people over 15 and then just watch who comes in with their 10 year olds and babies... i mean come on! wonna whinge about people on halo? why don't you fight for the cause and go complain to the cinema as well.

By the way, people under the age of 10 probably shouldn't be playing halo3 seeing as they usually aren't very good nor are they very quiet. sorry but its true ;)

I wholly agree! I'm 14, and I bet I'm more mature than most of the people who play this game.

Is that not a judgement in and of itself? Someone's a bit cocky and sure of themselves, ;p

No such thing as a mature 14 year old unless your homeland is ravaged by famine, pestilence, plague and death.


Sounds about right....

I'm 13, I don't really know if I'm mature or not, but at least I'm smart enough to study a lot harder when I get bad grades. Oh and I'm a shy person, so you'll never hear me shout or say random stuff online.

For your info i'm not a kid i'm a teenager and if you where in my shoes you would know how mature I am. Stop showing off your ego buddy.



When you grow up, you'll refer to everyone under 25 as kids.


I don't mean to single you out. All of my posts on this subject are aimed at no one specifically. You could have raised five siblings on the streets by yourself for all I know.

How agressive. First of all, he isnt insulting you in any way whatsoever. Second of all, Kid to him means "Everyone under 18" most probobly. (I'm 16 myself). And third of all, he's right. Are you saying that you wont mature as a person as you grow? That "Stop showing off your ego buddy" bit really got to me as immensely hippocritical.

Hell, at least I'm mature enough to realize that stereotypes are bad! Don't immediately judge someone just because of their age, race, gender, etc.
as if youve never judged anyone. it judge is to be human.


Yes, but I don't judge people based on stereotypes! You can only truly have an opinion of someone once you get to know them. When someone is screaming at me during a game I form an opinion that they're overly agressive, and when someone starts a thread about wanting more maps I form an opinion that they're impatient. When someone tells me that they're twelve years old I form an opinion that they have been alive for twelve years, not that they're immature and scream at people over the internat all day long.


That internat is serious stuff! Damn that internat.

Wait, what is the internat?

I respect the wisdom you have at the age of 16 already man. Very nice. It really is crazy how much one matures when they're out in the real world by themselves. I totally recommend not living at home while in school (after high school, of course) if possible as it really forces you to become independent and mature greatly. I look back even 4 years ago (I'm 22 now) and think, "WTF was I doing or thinking back then?" to myself all the time.

Just FYI, the ESRB is an advisory thing. Parents can choose to allow their kids to play AO rated games, if they wanted.

Maturity does NOT depend on age. Says so in the dictionary, 4.pertaining to or characteristic of full development. Do you see an age specified in that sentence, no.

Sigh, you're not helping your cause, kid. We understand that, but if you fail to recognize that maturity also comes with age then you're acting a bit immature there. As was said before, nobody was/is insulting you. Keep it up though and plenty of people will change that.

I agree with MEATSACK. Age groups, not specific ages. Geez, I'm 31, not just 'over 18'

The dictionairy is the source of all knowledge and is 100% true.

True story.

In all seriousness, people like us (ie: under 18) can be quite mature, but honestly? You get much more mature as you grow up. I thought I was supermature at 14, but now at 16 I reflect and I can see how much I have matured. And I dont doubt that this will continue over the years.
