    Who would set up this ID system? I'm not sure if I'd trust some shadowy organization to keep tabs on what games my daughter could and could not play. As her father, I get to make those decisions, and I'm not likely to just hand over that right and responsibility to someone else, however innocent their motives might be.

    I mean what would be next - government run orphanages for all pre-teens? 'Cos I mean if they don't trust us parents to monitor our kids' gaming habits, why trust us to bring up children at all?

    ...i dont think this would work very well at all.....
    and teenagers, can be over sixteen. thats the right age to play L4D, or any other mature game....therefore it would really fix the "Teenager" problem just minimalize it..
    and getting the ID cards would be a very big hassle,what about the people who got L4D on there 16th birthday or something and have to wait 2 weeks to a month for a ID card

    Pah! I just got off the Xbox after playing an hour of Versus with my 6 year-old daughter. There is no 'right age' for any game. It all depends on how mature the kid is and how you bring 'em up.

    when i said "right age" i meant the ratings on video games ("E" for everyone "M" for Mature), which if there were ID cards thats probably what they would be going by. I am not trying to say kids under 16 shouldnt be playing "mature" games,

    I might say something if you are bad at the game, but nothing close to this.
    But yeah, I think all X60 L4D Gamers have had this experience.

    Add me for some fun playing, but I dont enjoy versus anymore. (too many exploits)

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but not all teens are that way. I may have anger problems, but I control my anger very well. And I may not be good(or great) but im not too bad either. So, yeah, perhaps you shouldnt generalize and just have fun with the game. Give people a chance.

    And stereotypes exist because they are GENERALLY true, not always true.
    Legit. Coming from a teenager.

    I would say I'm on the more mature side of this. I often get taken for being older(voice), and most of my friends are older than me. At least the ones I meet. My friends in real life are close to my age, but the people I make friends with online are usually 21+ in age.
