I agree with the last two as there is a lot of replay value with them but destiny replay value is low without endgame as the pvp has been broken for a long time. There isn't a lot of end game groups looking for a 11 year old to join.

Looking at player bases battlefield 1, call of duty and titanfall all have great replay value because of the large player bases. Call of duty and battlefield having the easier mechanics. Call of duty seems to have more dickheads playing when it comes to talking on the mic so keep that in mind.

Anyway, i made a list from bloodiest to least bloody. You guys are weird. I would assume the OP knows what he allows for his child as well as what his child can handle. FPS games arent really known for being non violent here (well, other than Super Noah's Ark 3D).
an 11 year old should't be playing an M rated game no matter how well a parent knows their kid. Its more than just the violence

I was big into Mortal Kombat, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D at that age. Kids don't instantly turn into violent sociopaths just because of some animated blood and guts, or the occasional pixelated boob

who said that? I said an 11 year old shouldn't be playing an M rated game and stand by it...fyi any child psychologist would agree with me

Old games and new games are also in a totally different universe...

in Mortal Kombat can you hire a hooker to give you a BJ and then kill her to get your money back? 11 year olds also shouldn't be watching R-rated movies. No they all won't turn into axe murderers that logic is so flawed.

"I drove home drunk 100 times as a teen and I am fine"

doesn't mean its a good choice.

While CaptainCrunch is correct that the Star Wars Battlefront content is a bit light on the single-player side of things, I recommend it because it's quite cheap nowadays, and it's all pew pew lasers. It's the first game I used to introduce my kids to the genre.

Did you seriously compare drinking and driving to playing GTA?

What about a 3rd person shooter like The Division? I haven't really played it, but I think that one is rated T.

PvZ is probably as kid friendly a FPS as there is. The only issue is that there isn't a lot of depth to the game outside of the multiplayer. FPS games are typically violent by nature so it's pretty hard to find anything in the general range as they are mostly M rated.

no, I'm comparing the logic of saying

"I did such and such and I am fine"

Also, 11 Vs. 13, 14, 15 ect.

a couple years is massive at that age

Should probably get Uncharted 4 too. Not necessarily a pure shooter, but has a lot of shooting in it. Or better yet, get the 1-3 remastered, then 4 to get the whole story.

My favorite game series of all time, but full disclaimer they are from the third person perspective

If only they had come out with a new TimeSplitters game. Now THAT series was awesome and pre-teen friendly.

It's third person single player platformer/shooter and not pure FPS, but Ratchet and Clank might be one to look at too.

I looked up a few FPS and the only one that seems to fit is Tower of Guns?



A lot of the suggestions don't seem age appropriate or aren't 3rd person shooters.

edit: Gameplay



Other possible options:

Mirror's edge?


It's quite a difficult request.

The original Destiny should be cheap enough and filled with enough loot Hu t that he can enjoy replaying stuff while shooting aliens over and over.

My 1300 hours in the game says you're probably right about replayability... FeelsBadMan

The latest Uncharted is amazing, but is not a FPS. Wolfenstein is a very good FPS.

For online, go with Overwatch or Modern Warfare.
