Why I banned my son from playing Warhawk

Thats what happens when online service is free. All the low life teenagers and losers goes online and talk smack because their isn't a fee to play.Jhung207

Yeah because we all know they're well-behaved and mature over on the paid online service

:roll:

:roll:

You should have taken away the bluetooth earphone instead.

there are alot of idiots playing. One time this guy my age (around 13) got team killed and hes all like OH MY GOD **** **** *******. Somthing like that. But if you dont want your son to hear that stuff, WHY DONT YOU JUST NOT LET HIM USE THE HEADSET? Since its only americans, PLAY IN THE UK SERVERSHaseokicksass

you are exactly right. just avoid the problem!

I witnessed him playing warhawk with the local option of servers in the UK ,that was fine but then he connected with global servers and found many American matches so he joined one,now take this how you will American players but i had to stop him playing because the foul and racist language brought to this game seems to be thanks to the USA players,it was F this and f that along with other nasty racist N words,i dont understand why you guys cant open your mouthes without bad language pouring out. And yes before you ask,it was only the americans swearing,i know most of you guys are not like this but the indeed are giving the good folks a bad name. Please stop swearing where you know kids could be playing.unimpendium115

You know what? I'm on your side. These type of people seem to flock these common type of games. This is why a sold my RFOM cause of that crap. I can't stand it myself, and I'm 28. I'm not sure if being Canadian matters, but I do find this a common thing. It's mostly done by these 14 year old punks that think they know something. I would suggest though (not sure if your son should be playing these type of games though) but go with Tactical Shooters like GRAW2 and COD4. The population seems to be a lot better and easy on the ears. You'd might hear the odd S**T or something, but not RFOM heavy. To others reading this, this guy isn't BSing. I've heard this and nothing but it. Even the very first day I bought RFOM. I was iffy about buying Warhawk cause I was thinking I would get the same problem. But good thing is that I got a heads up not to. I don't have time for crap like that.

Generalizing it to Americans only is where this guy went completely wrong. I've heard British accents saying some of the dirtiest stuff in online games...and I'm not talking about the word "bollocks", either.

If the kid is so young that he goes "OMG DADDY DEY R CURSIN AT ME ON DA GAME WAAAHHHH", then he shouldn't be playing a game that's rated T.

You've now successfully proven your lack of good parenting skills. Cheery-o.

Completely agree...and im 25. I dont know why these kids believe that cursing in excessive amounts and moreover racism is a cool thing to do when in fact it make them look idiotic and barbaric. When im playing online I make sure to only play with people I know in team based instances but I know many people are unable to do this and have to deal with the distasteful audio if they want to use voice chat. In your instace unimpendium115 muting the mic is the way to go. Your son shudnt have to suffer for the stupidity of others.

You talk about racism, and then you slam Americans for language?! You complete hypocrit! You think every one in the UK is just a nice little well mannered person who never swares!!?? You just bag every one in America!? What do you call that! You think that fu$% this and/or fu&* that is offensive, well I find your generalization of all Americans as essentially trash offensive!!!!! And I find it a lot more offensive than a few F-bombs, let me tell you! Think about that!

BTW, I have never heard the N-word on Warhawk.

yet he is right, because accent wise you can tell kind of which country their from. I do find that americans do swear alot online. besides warhawk is dumb still. its to ezBoobyUnger

its to easy! in what way? do you the stats to prove? well to solve the problem just dont use the headset at all! problem solved

I remember one time at work this lady was holding the ears of her kid because I said dammmit. I had a hard time not laughing.

you can raise your kid anyway you want, but dontexpect the world around him to protect him from reality. in the real world, people swear.

Also, keep in mind that when you play with people in a different country, ecxpect them to have different values. Everyone thinks their values are superior to everyone elses.

Sad thing is, I agree with you and I'm American. I blame all the retarded hicks from the south who sleep with their own family!!!

This guy hit it right on the ball. And on a side note remember that we dont have a queen telling us how to behave ;).

I really wish Sony would have a "report user" function. Once 5-10 people report a single user, the conversation gets recorded and sent to Sony HQ. If the abuse is legit, then Sony drops you from the server. Repeat offenders will eventually be locked out of multiplayer and can only play via LAN.

Abuse beyond that and the PS3 morphs into a beast and kills your parents for not doing their job.

F****** f***! Make him f****** use a different f****** server the next f****** time he f****** plays the f****** game. god******. F***.

note: this was a joke.

"Maverick128" Now that was a waste of ink,this is my point...you seem to be so at ease with swearing you actually think its a joke! you even post it?. Dont you think perhaps sir,YOUR THE JOKE? .unimpendium115

Wow. What the heck is your problem.

First, I would rather make a joke than get ticked off at some Brit for insulting my people. I'm not a fan of confrontation and prefer to lighten the mood.

Second, do you actually think I talk like that? I don't use that kind of language. Not all Americans are living out Tarantino films.

Third, I didn't actually type any foul language. Gamespot didn't edit anything I said. Those are MY *'s kind sir.

Fourth, a waste of 'ink'? Listen, I'm stuck sitting at an office, not doing anything, and the only thing I CAN do is play around on the internet. If I want to make a joke or comment on some inane topic or another it's my right to do so and I am the ONLY one who can decide if it was worth it or not.

Sooo. Back off, chill out, and learn the difference between your and you're. Thank you.

Good post. I have my opinion and that is that I agree with the dad in that the American kids (not the older guys) are just terrible. I have like 9 year olds calling ne N**** B****, and F-this and F-that followed by an F-You!!

Seriously youd think the parents would tell them to calm down just a little.

Personally my dad would have beat the crap out of me, and I mean a bad beating where your mom is doing the crying for him to stop.

At least I know my way around now.

No excuse for using the "N" word, or any racist slander.

But quit the whining about the language. Its just words. Whats the difference between the word sh-- and poop? It makes you think the same thing. Whats the difference between sex and f---? Again, the same thought appears.

here's an idea. Why don't you educate your child on the meaning of those words and theinability to acceptof those words in society. And how even though its ridiculous, people like you get offended.

By that logic, the 'N' word is just another way of saying black person. Society should just accept those terms, right? Vulgar language is vulgar language. He has every right to complain.

1. Learn how to program the chat setting to filter out the offensive comments.

2. Get a Wii and let your kid play with other kids.

I have repeatedly warned kids that they have entered an adult room and please leave if they do not want to hear ADULTS having fun. So I guess it my fault that kids continuously enter rooms that are marked Adults Only.

Just by you putting the "N" word in the same pool as the word f---, shows how little you know.

The "N" word has hundreds of years of racism and oppresion in it. Go to a group of black guys and say the "F" word. Then go by them and say the "N" word. Tell me they are the same.

Yeah, I also find it humorous that its okay to have your son killing people with knives and heavy weaponry but not to hear "bad" words. How is that acceptable?

I got an idea. Let's let our kids play violent games where the entire goal of the game is fire high-powered rifles and explosives at other human beings (because killing people is an acceptable activity), but then let's get all pissed off when people use foul language (because foul language is a sin worse then murder).

If your kid is old enough to play Warhawk, he's old enough to hear bad language. If he's not old enough to hear bad language, he shouldn't be playing the game in the first place.

I never understood that either. If black people wanted to stop being called nigglets, then they would stop labeling themselves that way. And don't give me an crap about "culture". I don't go up to my friends and say "Whats up cracker? How ya doin', whitey?" You don't see hispanics calling each other "spics", or Asian people calling each other "chinks" and "japs". It's a stupid double-standard.

I agree that it most certainly is not the best way to go about it. But from its roots, its a good idea.

I think most blacks use the term to take it away from others. Since they had it used on them for so long in such a harsh way, they feel they can now use it and demand no one else to. I can see both sides.

Adn you are wrong, we do do that. I say to my friends, "Whats up, sucka." Or, "Whats going on, dude." Do I actually mean to bring them down? No. Nor do most blacks who use the term wit their friends or others. Its their "dude."Non-blacksjust can't use it.

I might be repeating something here, but why is it so hard for the thread creator to understand one thing...

He knowingly bought a video game with "Game experience may change during online play" somewhere on the package. Now my version isn't PAL but it does say that, and Iassumethat it'salso printed on the PAL game.

And to think that you can somehow force everyone everywhere to avoid using vulgar language is just absurd. I think the TC should go back to earning money for his son's education and spend less time arguing on a forum.
