I have a child who plays. My son is 14 and he does use the mic but ignores all the crap. Most of the time we play with people weknow and they are respectful when the children are around. very often does anyone we play with talk stuff where the kids have to take off the headset. And i agree, he is way better then alot of the adult players i have played with. LOl guess they have more time to master the games. And PeeBody.. i agree. i love chaka but his son rocks!!
