    The game is rated "Mature" for a reason. It's purpose is to keep little kids like yourself out of the online gaming world. And because you are only 11 years old, you probably have a very loud, high pitched voice in which annoys all the other gamers. We classify you under the "Squeaker" category and if you don't know what that means then go on youtube.com and look up a video called: Stop the Squeakers. It is being played through Halo but the message is all the same.

    Play With Your Dad, Ask & see If You can or Tell Your Dad Can You Show Me What Game This Is(Act Like You Dont Know What That Game Is) Then Die A Few Times & Out Of Nowhere Get Killstreaks lol That Would Be Funny

    Try saying how you understand that the game is simply fictitious and you are aware of the fact that what you play is not reality and that it will have no influence in what you do. There is more violence and sex on tv and in our immediate world than that of a computer game. The rating on these games are pretty much useless to me. I was playing 18 games like Duke Nukem 3d and Doom when I was about 6 and watching films like the terminator and robocop at a young age and so far my life has been good and I have no violent tendencies or a criminal record. You best bet is to just give you argument about how you're mature enough to handle fiction in a game and to not confuse it for reality or let it influence your actions.

    Dont bother you parents. The game is not good enough to keep asking.

    There is a option in the game to lower the violence(basically no gore) so you can tell them that. Ask them why they dont want you to play.

    If they say It is to real. Then show them these 2 pictures: video game http://pnmedia.gamespy.com/planetbattlefield.games...

    real life http://www.longwarjournal.org/photos/images/Marine...

    Then ask them which one looks real.

    If they say you are too young then ask them Why am I too young? What is in there that makes me too young?

    If they say it is bad for you then tell them this "Video Games Lead to Faster Decisions That Are No Less Accurate

    If they say that video games make you violent then tell them people who are act violent after a video game already have a mental problem. Also people are violent all the time. FIFA there is always violence, and in many other sports and activities around the world. You cannot escape violence and singling out video games is not right.

    Well if your Dad likes it then he should really have no problem with it. Just tell him that you are intrested in what he is intrested in and he will probably be happy about it. Your Mom is a totally different issue. For some reason Mom's are less strict with daughters. It sucks for us guys because it is almost like getting nailed to a wall and prying yourself off of it if you do something your Mom doesn't like.

    it doesn't matter if you're a girl, ask your father to play it. say you want to try the game, after that, say you're interested in having the game. it's that simple. like i'm 12 and i am a hardcore gamer.

    I would advise you to wait till your older to play those types of games, but there is an option to filter the gore.
