Depends hows mature the young kid is.

People tell me I sound like im 25, But I tell them I just turned 15 and they can't believe it.

If your voice is deep enough, doesnt matter.

You should have to go through puberty before getting live, thats it.

Little sqeaky voices.. "I want SNIPE-WA!"

God damn it.

If your voice doesn't sound like mickey mouse, and you act mature, I don't care how old you are.

I'm 14, and I think that it shouldn't be based on age, it should be based on behavior. Generally, if I'm on LIVE, I shut the **** up and let my gun speak for itself (I don't play racing games, so it's just my gun), I don't need to trashtalk. I will talk if I want to speak to a teammate and try to coordinate with him. What I hate is when people my age act like douchebags and start singing or doing other idiotic **** that's aside the game just to piss people off. On the other hand, kicking somebody instantly based on age is a pretty **** move.

i think its good, cuz i hate playing against some old losers that call me a n00b cuz im half their age and all they do is call me bad stuff and make fun of my gamertag when playing halo 2, gears and shadowrun. i think the age requirement should be enforced to 13 but anyway somany people younger than that lie about their age.

In my experience on Xbox Live, the young kids are usually more annoying but the older ones are bigger jerks. I'd rather listen to a 12 year old sing 50 Cent than get kicked from a server by some jackass 30 year old guy who doesn't like my name.

Anybody above the age of 15 should have the capacity to use correct spelling and grammar. They should also have the ability to tolerate others. Interesting how you seem to be devoid of them both.

If they are mature enough, yes. The same could be said to 20 year olds who are not mature. (not saying 20 year olds playing is bad, just saying that everyone who plays Live should be a least mature enough before they get on or buy Live)

I don't think it really matters as long as you are 13+ and are not annoying. Every once and a while i run into a 10 year old on gears-they usually scream, swear and ask stupidquestions like "Can you here me?" Kids like that shouldn't play.

Such is why there's a button in Halo 3 to activate the mic.

it depends on how their voices sound, when i was 14 people on Live thought i sounded likei was 20. so i think it depends on their voice.

Here's why this topic is wrong...

Not all 14 year olds are immature just like not all the people in their 20s are mature. You can't simply say, "Let's just kick off every 14 year old gamer on Xbox Live because they can potentially be annoying." That's like saying, let's go bomb Iraq because every Muslim is a terrorist. It's wrong, it's unjust, it's immoral, it's unnecessary. Would I prefer playing with an older gamer? Yes. Does it really matter that much though? No, not really.

I think there should be an age restriction. 16 and up would be okay.

Excuse me, but I hate you. You are a horrible example to all people about how certain 14 year olds have issues with being smart beings. I hope that you burn in hell. Actually, that's too cruel. I just hope you get your thumbs cut off so you can't play videogames and give people my age a bad rep anymore.

I think that children shouldn't be on games that are rated 16 or 18+...
There should be some way to check the age of users, and block their profile from playing games until they are of the correct age.

Perhaps if you met me you would think differently. An exaggeration that is violent does not determine the maturity levels on a human being. And please tell me how you get the impression of a sensible, fun, and easygoing person from somebody who is writing "im 14 ill own ure azz in Rainbow Six Vegas"

This person sounds like an idiot who wouldn't be able to shut his mouth or restrain himself from singing annoying rap lyrics should I go about playing on LIVE with him.

You my friend have a very stereotypical view of 14 year olds or 12 year olds (The topic and poll confused me) The amount of abnoxious early teens are easily equalled out by the amount of overly agressive adults. I believe everyone should be allowed to play XBL, no one has the right to tell them they're not just because they don't like them. I meet about 10 - 20 annoying people everytime I play XBL but I just get on with it.

Oh and btw probably the largest majority of 360 games sales come from12 - 16year olds

Well I am fourteen, and I am going to be turning 15 in August. I dont have a squeeky voice, some guy on live thought I was 18. I am not annoying like the little 10 year olds who constantly say "can you hear me?" I am not annoying, so dont hate on all the "little kids" though I wouldnt even call me that. I am mature, believe me, if you dont send me a friend request and lets game.

-Sora

that is what they all say but the majority of little kids are loud and abnoxious

I was referring to both of you...
Perhaps if you met the person who said "easy kills ftw" in real life, you'd refrain from telling them to burn in hell.
Quit trying to use large words, alond with complex sentence structure too, it's not working for you.

I dont mind 14 year olds as long as they arent singing and yelling profanities the whole game i got a bunch of players on my list of all ages and they are all cool. If you dont like someons voice, mute them. Then leave them feedback. Although i STRONGLY believe that Any kids under 18 should NOT be playing M rated games by any means. Its kind of disturbing to hear a 12 year old laugh manically when he chainsaws you like the natural noob he is in Gears, although that is the parents fault for not giving a damn what they play. I think what MS should do is to make it where if you are not over 18 years old you cannot play in the Underground Zone. And they should make the Adult and Teen zone put you in there by date of birth. I know it is flawed and alot of people would find a way around it but it would have to clean up XBL a little bit at least.

I think that it matters on their aturity rather than age. I'm 14 and I don't swear at all. I respect the other players if they respect me.

i would vote that if you are judging a person based on anything other then the content of there character (not something superficial like age, sex, skin color) then you don't deserve to use Xbox Live.

You wanna know my honest opinon on this topic?

Well, I'm 16, so I think I'm not part of this "little kid" problem.

Okay, you know, it's topics like these that almost make it sound like you're being immature. Honestly, you're complaining about nothing. Little kids are on Xbox Live, so what? You were once little as well. Everyone has the right to their own hobby, and what they do in their spare time. If you don't like some kids voice, mute them. Don't make immature little topics about how "we should get rid of all people under 14 because they're all immature."

Seriously dude, grow the f*** up.

honestly, 14 is not young at all

so no, and it can be pretty funny when little kids come on and get flipped out at by everyone (including me) until they leave

Yes, because I'm 14. Not all 14 year olds all immature idiots. You don't want to hear my voice? Fine. I don't whine when I die in Gears of War or cry when I get cheated in Halo 2. It's not like all fourteen year olds on Xbox Live are annoying brats.
