You're playing a Teen rated game online, but you may experience mature language and abuse in online play. A single player game will feel drastically different in flow when you use its' online mode too.

In the base game the NPCs will (probably) not call you a niggerfaggot, but online that might happen.

I don’t know why you’d have to ask /v/ about this when thinking about it for a few seconds would lead you to the obvious conclusion.
Anyway these messages didn’t appear until Xbox Live.

Because the ESRB obviously can't measure profanity that hasn't been uttered yet.

is this warning not enough for the mouth-breathing parents and the fossils in politics?
why must every bit of online communication be scrutinized these day?

esrb cant rate the multiplayer section so they leave that disclaimer and call it a day.

its internet lag and can cause stuttering

I mean the issue with that is basically EVERY online scene for every game is carefully curated by publishers and in some cases they're intentionally endangering children.
Yeah if this WAS the unrestricted internet, there could be a point made, but these days there's explicit full time work dumped into managing the online scene for games with fake "talent".

Because the ESRB rates content in the video game based on what they know to be there. But since the ESRB is not psychic, they cannot possibly know what other users in that game will do with the game's interactive multiplayer. You might not think of it this way, but repeatedly crouching over someone's dead body in an FPS is technically viewed as simulating sexual assault. So they issue a blanket "The single player game is rated E/T/M, but that might be different for the online play".
