Black Ops 3 nets Call of Duty’s first Australian R18+ label

4.7
Call of Duty has been hit with an adults only rating in Australia.

Black Ops 3 has received an R18+ rating from the Australian Classification Board.

It’s the first time the annual shooter series has been rated above MA15+ – a much more holiday gift-friendly category.

The classification references high impact violence as well as as strong impact themes. Hmm! Not a lot of information for caregivers to go on when little Johnny demands one of the hottest titles of the year.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 launches on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on November 6. It looks like PEGI and the ESRB are yet to return classification.

Ratings mean nothing and are never enforced either.

Haven't paid attention to ratings forever. Surprising nonetheless that it got A rated though.

Do people even care about the game's rating anymore? I've never seen any of my friend's little siblings get denied a game over the rating.

There's no point in rating this game that high. Parents only care about the game if sex is involved. lol

Lig What is the point of the ratings when 6-7 year olds play it. There is nothing stopping them form playing it either.
