Activison Blizzard’s Name of Responsibility: Trendy Warfare III multiplayer, out worldwide on November 10, apparently allows you to homicide folks with marijuana. The element was revealed within the Leisure Software program Ranking Board’s decision summary for marking the first-person shooter as “mature,” and it looks like the pure evolution to smoke rings.

“The sport features a ending transfer through which marijuana smoke from a bong might be compelled into an opponent’s face,” the ESRB plainly states. “Badges/banners and character outfits additionally depict hashish and/or smoking figures.”

From this restricted description, I’d say MWIII isn’t making an attempt any commentary on the world’s anxious relationship to drugs, nor attempting to recommend that smoking kills (although, as a ending transfer, or one of many sequence’ complicated kill animations, it actually does). The finisher the ESRB particulars sounds just like the Blowin’ Smoke kill from Warzone, through which gamers flex on their opponents by respiratory a smoke cloud into their faces, besides this one is much less demise by the use of secondhand smoke and extra “RIP to you after that bong rip.” The purpose is, I feel, that smoking appears to be like sick typically, particularly when you’re a 17-year-old taking part in CoD.

Different causes for the ESRB’s “M” score (a Name of Responsibility sport hasn’t been approved for teens since Name of Responsibility 3 in 2006) sound like extra all-purpose CoD stuff, together with “giant explosions, screams of ache, and blood-splatter results.” There are, in fact, “terrorists (dressed as law enforcement officials and paramedics),” the ESRB writes, “capturing/killing fleeing civilians inside a stadium concourse; airline passengers getting shot on a aircraft; prisoners shot inside a cell.”

The sport’s just lately revealed Zombie mode—the beloved, macabre mode’s first time in a Trendy Warfare sport—additionally usually outcomes “in decapitation and/or dismemberment; giant blood-splatter results accompany these sequences.” The sport will even reanimate each unique Trendy Warfare II multiplayer map, although these are much less grounds for the ESRB’s concern.

In any case, you may watch all these mature online game qualities play out when Trendy Warfare III releases on consoles and PC in November.
