The problem with Mr. Big Time 11 Year Old is that he shouldn't even be playing this game. The game is rated "M" (mature) for a reason. To keep children from playing it.
The problem with you, my friend, is the fact that you can't seem to under stand that the ESRB is a rating system, and is just a warning to parents about a certain video game's content. Stop trying to anger an eleven year old.


If its only a "Warning" why must you be at least 17 to purchase any rated "M" game. Hmm?
That's not true at all. Many stores will only sell M rated games to people 17+ usually so that they look good in front of people like Jack Thompson. There is a local game store about 10 minutes from where I live, they sell M rated video games to any one, no matter the age. It's that more popular stores like Gamestop, for instance, enforce the 17+ policy ( because of the reasons I stated above) , not all stores.

What's wrong with kids playing Halo? And why must they know what an atari is in order to be classified as a "gamer"?

The recent child players have become more numorus... I don't know how some of them are so good... but I guess like as earlier posted we might have played halo 1 or 2 and childern so...
They proboly found "santa's" bag of goodies.

to OP:
I'm an eleven year old, and I have a mike. Do I use it? no. Do you know why? It's because -blam-'s like you yell at me even if I say "good game." The more common most disruptive players are 30 year old drunks screaming "I am the messiah!"

Its rated M for MATURE audiences... If he is 11 and MATURE, why not let him play?

I'm 13 and I've been playing rated M games since I was... around 8. You know why? Becasue I was MATURE enough to play them.


Ya you must have been way mature at age 8... either that or your parents are dumb.


Thats not how I meant it...

I am coming to realize a lot, and I mean a lot of "children" are high ranking individuals on Halo 3. These children probably do not even know what an Atari is. I am a mediocre player, playing maybe 3 nights a week, simply to put these amateurs to rest. These kids will be slaughtered after dark in the world of Halo. I have done my school work and learned how not to go poopy in my pants, so to all you children out there, "GO TO BED AND LET THE REAL GAMERS PLAY!"

I have enjoyed many a conversations with gamers my own age on Halo 3 about the lack of high rankers who have full time jobs and have completed school. We simply join forces and remove the "children."

Note: if my K/D ratio drops it is to be expected, the pre-pubescents have found me.


If you cant beat the kids, maybe you should go to bed.

I'm 12, and today when I was playing Team Hardcore I ran into a guy like you, wanting to start fights and argue just to be cool. I bet you have a lot of friends.

I couldn't agree more with you. Let's kick the kids out! Taking away a huge chunk of the gaming market is an excellent idea. We can watch the industry collapse upon itself. Then we can never play a quality game again.[/sarcasm]

I'm 19 but I have been on online games since Everquest. Back then I was only 12 years old but I was mature enough to know how to act in an anonymous envirment and there are a lot more that are just like I was. Even when I was 15 or 16 age is still a factor but I knew how to act and I had a lot of people who would be shocked to know my age that I played with. Age should have no effect on video gaming, it's all about maturity. I have dealt with 30 year olds that acted like 9 year olds and vice versa. That's what being a gamer is about, it's MATURITY not AGE.

All the little kids are so good cause they have no lives and no jobs or anything to worry about, so they just sit at home all day long and pick their noses and play halo cause their parents don't love them enough to make them do something productive.

ANYBODY who says "Oh you have no life." is an idiot. It instantly lowers my opinion of them because its a stupid generalization. If I had no life, I wouldn't be playing or doing anything

Before Doom, no we didnt have cheat codes available on a widespread basis. Although I did fall out of gaming for about 5 years or so at about that time. (Career/Wife/Kids etc)
Did the Atari (pre7200 era) have cheat codes? The Intellivision did not, neither did the Odyssey. I know the games on the C-64/128 didn't.
In fact IDKFA was the first code I had ever heard mentioned anywhere. Although Tecmo Bowl was known for allowing some.... 'unfair practices' in the game.
Although I do not look upon codes with anything but disdain, I refuse to spend hundreds of hours replaying pixels to add a new pixelated picture to my 'gaming resume'. Put those together and yes, I will likely never -ever- collect a single skull in H3. I beat it on Norm/Heroic, almost completed Leg but now I play MP only and by the time I tire of it, there will be another thing to pull me away.
I have better things to do than chase badges! We don't need no stinking badges!!!
