oh please everybody knows CoD has been rated T since the first games set in WW2.

ESRB just put M on the box because of a little virtual blood and naughty language.

This thread is pathetic. All of you saying you're adults and claiming to be so easily offended....seriously...seems you haven't grown up at all. I'm 25 and I could care less what I see with my eyes in a game where you MURDER PEOPLE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. If you find an issue with emblems yet find killing people acceptable then YOU'RE the problem with society today. Just an f.y.i.

FYI all players AGREED to keep it E for everyone. Microsoft owns the service and not the players. We dont want these ruffians on our paid service.

The GAME has a rating and you have a CHOICE to buy it. We are seeing these emblems that is not our choice.

Plus you didnt know that the game designers have artistic freedom ? They are ALLOWED to make a game where it kills models of other players. The game doesnt let you murder PEOPLE.

Yeah... I'm rather fed up myself... Just reported 3 players in the same match... One with a woman taking a dump on a guys face... Another with a dong in between some boobs, and a third with a woman sitting on a dildo... And of course all 3 had mics, were definitely teens and all talking in Ebonics... Go figure. I wish they would just ban people like that permanently... Especially since this game is made for a mature audience...

Personally, I'll occationally view an offensive emblem while browsing the lobby.  If I do, I simply move on and the emblem is out of view.  I understand that some of them cross a COC somewhere, but I don't let them get to me.  Why is it so hard to just not look, or to look away?  It's rated M for Mature after all.
