3-year-old Call of Duty \u201cbeast\u201d goes viral and divides the internet Activision\/TikTok\/darienreneeeA 3-year-old Call of Duty player is going viral for his insane skill at the game, but some people don\u2019t think such a young child should be playing violent video games. Earlier this year, footage emerged on TikTok of the next Call of Duty prodigy in the form of a toddler with an iPad. In the clip, the young boy was actually able to do pretty well and secured a couple frags in the process, showcasing some hidden potential skill. \u201cI wonder how people would feel if they knew a 3-year-old old is playing them in Call of Duty,\u201d the boy\u2019s mother captioned the clip. Needless to say, the results were mixed to say the least. CoD community shocked by three-year-old\u2019s insane skill As the video went viral, the responses on TikTok increased with some applauding the boy for having such skill at a young age while others slammed the mom for letting him play. \u201cIf I knew a 3-year-old old killed me on COD, I\u2019d quit gaming forever,\u201d one joked. \u201cBro is better than me,\u201d said another. However, not all the comments were positive with one taking issue with the boy being allowed to play Call of Duty. \u201cIt\u2019s a big NO for me. He should be playing Barney games at this age,\u201d remarked an Instagram user. Yahoo News even spoke to Professor Ofir Turel from Melbourne University about the viral clip where she warned about the boy\u2019s future. \u201cPlaying COD at this level obviously requires practice. The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends zero screen time at ages 0-2 and one hour per day of selective screen time, i.e. of educational programs, at ages 2-5,\u201d she said. \u201cStudies found that more screen time in 2-year-olds is associated with poorer cognitive and social development outcomes at 3 years. In my own studies on video gaming in older children, I found links to poor sleep and obesity.\u201d In any case, we can\u2019t wait to see this young lad in the Call of Duty League in 15 years when he\u2019s eligible. Until then, he\u2019s already amassed over 8.5 million views on TikTok alone with reuploads of the video dubbing the boy a \u201cCoD beast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
