Frankly I'm wary of anyone who is in fact 13 and has a high pitched voice and has the audacity to tell a bunch of older gruffer sounding guys what to do. Anyone that young and that cocky is gonna be a pain, even if he's a good player. Players that get in your face at any age are annoying.

As for age appropriate... well I figure the day you can watch Apocalypse Now and not get bored and actually like it better than Platoon or BHD or something then yea... you're ready for PR.

Mostly this age based stuff is to do with how someone is raised. If you can't comprehend violence in a cultural context the same way most adults and teens can watch Pulp Fiction or something similar and get the joke even though whats being shown is really terrible if it were real... then you can't really handle mature video games cause the good ones and even the bad ones delve into that pulp cultural sadism and fetishism and colloquial stuff that makes a Tarentino flick (at least a few of them) more than just a bunch of gore scenes strung together.

I could handle this stuff when I was really young. I totally GOT the humour and the cultural references of games like Vice City. If you enjoy it for anything other than the violence more than the violence itself... you're ready to play.

platoon and blackhawk down are both better than apocalypse now.

i am 32 years old.

now if you had only used the dark knight and transformers in your example instead of platoon and BHD...

on topic:

i dont care about age as long as you're doing the squad's work. we have had (still have) some young guys in striketeam.

Atleast like 16 or something.

That is one thing I agree on about age. But everyone hates the 10 year old that yells in his cheap mic.

Funny because I hate ANYONE thats yells in his cheap mic

Anyone who can follow orders, remain patient, operate with a noted sense of intelligence and professionalism is old enough to play with my squad any day.

To play? I don't really care as long as you act responsibly.. Posting on the forums on the other hand... Ask Punk about that.

Very true.

This is a good example of a person to young to play pr.


When asked if he was female the reply was 'NO I'M A 10 YEAR OLD BOY YOU JERK!' thus we started recording.

That would be me

an age where you can use common sense and follow directions....if i met a 9 yr old who could do that and a 30 yr old who couldn't...id take the 9 yr old in my squad

Maturity is the level of age if you ask me.Speaking aloud to the mic is not that bad until it disturbs the communication.Other way it just brings some heat of battle around the game

vilhelm, thanks for the video that background music gave a bit distraction but it was ok. I'm amazed how long you let him to stay in your squad, maybe mainly for fun

And some people have "young" voice (not hi-pitch) even they are between 20-30 years old but I dont care about that too much as long as they play properly.
