No game rated M for Mature can ever be called a game for kids. Kids might play it and enjoy it (even though they're legally not supposed to) but Call of Duty is definitely not a game for kids.

They certainly should just make them as T-rated games, there's absolutely no reason for them to be rated Mature.

There doesn't need to be "Mature" content in the games... They could tone down the blood and swearing and pointless "shock" scenes that have been in the series since at least 4 and get a Teen rating. The "mature" content adds nothing of value to the game which is basically an arcade hallway shooter to begin with.

Well, besides the fact that a T rated game would probably sell better than an M rated game just by virtue of the fact that they aren't age restricted. That seems like a pretty sound reason to me?
Advocating censorship would be saying that the government should ban the sale of Call of Duty games in the first place...
And the gore and language adds little, if anything, to the CoD experience itself - suggesting otherwise would just make you a hypocrite regarding "bringing feels" into the equation.
I don't think there's a direct correlation between the facts that CoD 4 sold well and that it was M-rated.

Except the blood isn't really "realistic" in the game. I'm not trying to stop anyone from doing anything, merely suggesting that they might even have increased sales if the rating were lower and therefore more available for purchase by a wider audience...
You know, if they tried to depict blood and gore realistically, it would still meet the M rating
I literally never said anything to the contrary man.

You jumped to the conclusion that the depiction of blood in COD wasn't realistic, so of course I had to say that. Seriously, the more you reply, the less sense you're making.

No, it's just that your arguments include completely irrelevant points based on your own incorrect assumptions about what my points are.
I didn't "jump to the conclusion that the depiction of blood in COD isn't realistic", because it's a quantifiable, objective fact that the depiction of blood in COD isn't realistic.

Because... Having unrealistic blood and gore effects for the sake of shock value is part of what gets them an M rating, and by toning it down, they could get a T rating. Having a T rating, in my opinion, has the potential to increase sales - and yes I realize sales are already at a very high level so maybe it would be minimal.
