16 and up?? there isnt that much blood and it doesnt stay on the ground u just see it in the air very quickly when you kill someone. Also bodies only stay on the battlefield in some levels on some parts they stay for a few seconds. Up in the "What Parents Need To Know" section it says While this Call of Duty game is rated "T" instead of "M" (unlike the first two in the series) They wrote that wrong because the first 2 in the series are rated T just like this one.

What Parents Need to Know
About Call of Duty 3
Parents need to know that the third entry in this popular WWII first-person shooter is beautifully presented and rich with historical detail -- but still very violent. While this Call of Duty game is rated "T" instead of "M" (unlike the first two in the series) kids will still see a small amount of blood spills with every kill, bodies litter the battlefield, and close combat often means face-to-face struggles. Open approaches to enemy positions create intense battles, with threats that appear out of nowhere and less than perfect cover -- exposing players to sudden, bloody deaths.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the popularity of WWII games. Is there something about this particular conflict that lends itself to video game treatment? What is different about wars like Vietnam or the current war in Iraq that make them more or less suited to game recreation? Does the historical content of this game make it educational -- or is that aspect just an attempt to legitimize another shoot-'em-up?

- Inappropriate language

- Good role models
ok game
this game is ok. i never played online so i dont know how much they swear online. i do know that in the campaign they CONSTANTLY use the d-word and h-word. also s.o.b. is used twice but at the same time. however this game has great role models. one sergeant gives his life for his country. one private who is a coward shows courage and is willing to die to prove he belongs in this war. one character who is shown more as a jokester becomes an incredible leader towards the end of the game. this game is pretty good and you can get it cheap at some places.

More of the same.
After playing the first two games in the series, the third is THE SAME THING, just different views. Don't get me wrong though, it's still fun. Minimal blood, bodies litter the battlefield, your standard warfare language and violence. Get COD 4 instead if you have the choice.

It is an awesome game
It is a fun outstanding game violent and a little mist of blood. Like I said it is a mature game with also a bundle of bad language like not the worst. Awesome game so fun a must play for non-stop action lovers like myself.
