I feel really badly for parents who have to shell out money for each iteration of CoD and its DLC. I mean, I got my parents pay for some fairly stupid shit in my heyday, but the milking potential is much greater nowadays.

Actually, OP should call in a meeting with the parents and show them how evil and violent Call of Duty is and how they shouldn't be buying these games for their kids. And then give them all a code for Banjo-Kazooie on XBL.
