Call of Duty Black Ops is a first person shooter game which was developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. Due to the content being based around war and shooting the classification for the game is an 18 by the BBFC. After its first 6 weeks of release Activision reported that the game had reached $1 billion in sales. There is a campaign mode in the game which a single player takes the role of different characters throughout the game to complete the story. There is also online and offline multiplayer games modes, with the online game the players split into two teams with which they can play various games such as capture the flag.
The rating of 18 comes from the fact the game includes strong bloody violence and strong language. The target audience are casual gamers who like action and shooting. Although the age classification is an 18 the actual audiences age range starts at around 14 years old, which is really young considering the content of the game.
The main issue that may surround the game is the likelihood of the users behaviour being influenced. This is especially the case in users whose age is below the classification.
