I think when it comes to massively popular FPS games...they want to shoot for M if possible. You have to remember those games are geared for online play. You will hear all kinds of crap there. So they naturally shoot for an M rating because regardless of game content they will hear terrible things being said online. I know that the company doesn't take responsiblity for what one hears online...but I am sure they get complaints regardless. So they knock out 2 birds with one stone.

Most times they over exagerate. Most M games are fine for anyone 10-14 depending on the individual.

Well it depends on how mature or immature the person is and they're mental state lets say you have a 14 year old who uses curse words like he just learned them and is a bit autistic (there is a person exactly like that in my school) he should not play a game like borderlands 2 because he will be screaming "WHY THE FAKING SHAT DID ANGEL DIE GO EAT YOUR OWN D you ho"

well ESRB says they don't judge the rating on online experience and me personally when I play halo I go into a party and mute everyone in the game and when I started playing video games (4 years old) my mom said never to interact or talk to anyone in any online game I feel parents should crack down on who you talk to online.

I think having it broken down by age numbers rather then letters would make it easy for the normal consumer who may not know what they are getting into

I think it is pretty reliable. I find it more reliable than the movie rating and how a movie with 4 F-words and little violence gets the same rating as a movie with 200+ F-words and blood and gore everywhere. I sometimes think they need a new rating in between PG-13 and R.

There is the occasional game that is rated M and could easily be rated T instead. Like the first Mass Effect. It had PG cussing, PG-13 violence, and I've seen more sexual sex scenes on TV shows. I honestly only see it being rated M if they partly base the rating on content of the story.
