What constitutes as a "child's game", exactly? Where do you draw the line between a certain video game being "for children" and all video games being for children? Especially an M rated one that can only be sold to people who are over the age of 18?
Plenty of grown men here in this very lounge play or have played (and enjoyed) COD games, including but not limited to : REED, D-Mize, dan_cov, Michael Paine, Rip Chudd, bojangles1987, and myself.
Alternately, plenty of grown men exist within this lounge who regularly enjoy a good platformer (from Super Mario 64 to Ratchet and Clank) which is supposedly THE genre that's "for kids."
If you're encountering a bunch of children while playing your games online : You're doing it wrong. You play with your friends online to avoid the risk of running into said children, or even worse, the trolls who exist in FAR greater numbers and only join games to **** it up for everybody else.
I'm not sure how PSN works because I exclusively game on Xbox Live (superior service), but on XBL it's pretty simple to get a game going with 3-7 friends and have a voice chat running simultaneously. Thus eliminating the need to ever play in public matches where the type of player you point out supposedly dwells.
I say supposedly because prior to gaming solely with friends I gamed in random public sessions and I still never encountered enough children for it to become an issue. Certainly not the kind of child that has become the poster-child for COD online thanks to the tireless work of PC elitists.
