List of helicopter related killstreaks in Call of Duty:
COD 4
Helicopter(7)
MW2
Care Package(4)
Sentry Gun(5)
Attack Helicopter(7)
Pavelow(9)
Chopper Gunner(11)
BO
SAM Turret(4)
Care Package(5)
Sentry Gun(6)
Attack Helicopter(7)
Chopper Gunner(9)
Gunship(11)
Note that using hardline decreases the number of kills needed by one, making it possible to recieve the gunship(BO) and chopper gunner(MW2) upon earning 10 kills rather than the regular 11.

No they can't because in the end it's the child's fault for trying out the same things in his games, as for the parents it depends on how old their kid is and what game they for example if you buy little 10yr old a rated M game are you really gonna be expecting it to be good for him and his imagination?

Of course video games can influence you, just as everything else you surround yourself with does.

depends what M game your talking about?
I think that game developers can be blamed cos if they didn't make the game in the first place then kids wouldn't be able to buy them and be influenced by them. Besides once kids are old enough to have a job and make their own money then it's hard for parents to say what the money can or can't be spent on.
Logic, or gtfo
The game developers can't "Not" make the game because there is a possibility the game will have psychological consequences in children
My parents limited what games I could play... and its only once I turned 14, and showed I was ready... that they let me buy M-rated games. I hated them for that then, but looking back... I thank them for it.
Its a shame for other kids... I look at some of my friends... and they are idolizing violence, and when I show them things that aren't violent, they say its "wrong".
IMO it tends to be how much a person diverts their interest within a form of programming, and not within them-self and reality. Sometimes you do hear shocking stories of people committing things that are influenced by games or other media, but for me I don't really feel the desire to hijack a car and go out and massacre people after playing on GTA.
Really i be,ieve it is just a shceme to make other media look better then video games, All the other critics beat on video games saying they are childish, and by the way any rating system is broken, not just video games you can take a kid to a rated R movie as long as they are with a "responible adult". And Geekachu i somewhat agree with you, but those accidents where people do that stuff is far and few between, when it does happen it is blown to epic porption by the News as a way to nitpick at video games
The Swweet... Yes a game developer could make games that are less violent/bloody/gory. They add those qualities because it get more players to buy the game. The more violent the more popular the game for the most part.
I don't play CoD, cause I was a USMC Infantry Why would I want to play a game that is a pale comparison to the training I got when I was a trained killer? I don't play the RockStar games because I am a hero at heart and heroes don't shoot cops.
Each parent should know what their child is mature enough to play/watch. My son is not ready for games like dead or alive at age 10, my daughter could probably have handled it, depending on how realistic the graphics were. I won't let my nephews play games in my house that are to mature for them, or more important for my kids. My house My rules. In their house, I ask that they tell my kids that the game is to mature for them, and monitor the game to be sure.
I can't be there 100% but what/when I can control I will. That's my job, I'm a dad!

Stay positive
That's really sad. >< I hate it when parents say things like that and have no idea what they're talking about. There are a lot of games that insprire the imagination immensely, not to mention the ridiculous amounts of math and strategy involved if you want to excel at Pokemon. "Rot the brain" my foot. ¬_¬

Stop posting DH.
All I can think of whenever I read this debate is...
...you ever notice how especially on games like COD, you can literally tell how old a player is not by their girly voice but by how many curse words they use in the average sentence?

Oh well, they'll shortly realize there is no respawn point IRL with any luck.
The argument that video games cause violence is a crock though, it takes a lot more than simulated violence to cause a person to be unstable.
Speaking personally, I've been playing The Witcher recently -- IMO that game is way too mature for the average 14 year old, but by 18 a person should be able to handle it - if parents and stores don't abide by the guidelines and classifications then I think there are bigger problems than violent games (though with Witcher it's not so much the violence as a few other things).

How convenient. In a debate on video games effects on children, a kid rudely lashes out at someone for an utterly petty mistake.
It's important to note that video games are FAR, far more immersive than most media. In movies/TV/music/books/what-have-you you simply witness the action. The game character can't do anything without the player's input, so all the their goals and actions become *your* goals and actions. Mix that with a developing child's mind which view the world far differently that more 'mature' minds (i.e. kids are more self-centered, view everything in black or white ("good and evil," not colors, mind you), care more for immediate gratification, etc.) and you get a very powerful influence.
That's not to say video games make kids into killers, rather we just can't pretend it doesn't affect them and possibly instill bad habits.
