Activision launches ratings awareness campaign

just a cover for the airport carnage in mw2

Hmm, I'm curious to know how Activision will profit from this. Are they doing this to gain more awareness for themselves and call of duty? Perhaps they are coving their arses incase someone dies, and the death is blamed on MW2? They would be able to use this as a means to try and demonstrate that it is concerned about the customer base.

A curious move to be sure, especially due to the fact that a large percentage of people who play the COD ga,es are below the age of 18.

have to go back to the airport again.. you enter the terminal and spend the next 10 min gunning down unarmed people

It's quite obvious, 18 rated games are for people aged 18 and over. Not for 15 or 16 year old kids, or younger. Parents are idiots.

This probably is a move to cover themselves, there's already controversy for MW2.

the problem is that there's a large number of parents who will only pay attention after they've discovered that the game they've bought for little Timmy has swearing and violence in it. At that point they demand that the government step in and take control.

Agreed that it could well be to cover their own backs. But anything that raises awareness of ratings on games, and (hopefully) stops some of the rubbish that is continuously spouted about games is clearly a good thing?
