Why not?



It's in no way a bad game. Honestly. I feel sorry for you, being held back from playing it. Though really, you are 12.Should I be allowed to play Battlefield 1943?
Games are fun, and 1943 is probably awesome (haven't played it), but eh, you're 12. I don't think you're missing anything, really. Read a book, spend more time doing things that you'll actually remember and appreciate later on, instead of in front of a screen playing games that will only shorten your attention span. Game time needs to be moderated, otherwise it will get too addictive, no matter how old you are or how responsible a student you are. Respect your mom and find something else to do instead for now. When she lets you play finally, say thank you, and play responsibly.



If you're dying for a good computer game but you're not allowed to play shooters, why not try strategy games? Rome: Total War is awesome even now that it's 5 years old, and mods are still coming out for it. It's exciting, fairly easy to learn, but very deep. Plus if you pay attention to it, you'll learn a few things about history, which is always great. :)
