I notice a-lot of people talk about how the online can be really bad because of the people who play it, that's quite the opposite almost all of the people I have played with on the game are respectful and nice. That's something I can not say for the Call Of Duty games... when I use to play it I had a friend added who literally was high every time I played with him, and I mean everytime. The community on Call of Duty are full of foul mouthed little brats who weren't raised correctly and aren't even old enough to play the game. Even the adults I played with were disrespectful. But enough about Call of Duty we are on a different subject. The people that I currently play with are great people who are always fun to play with. We use strategy in our game which almost always leads us to a victory. I have played with these people for over 6 months now and I have only had one issue with one of them and it only happened once. One of the other nice things about BF2 is the fact that even if you end up with a disrespectful person you usually only have to deal with them for a game or two because there are only 4 people per squad so you're not listening to your entire team saying foul words and other things like that. Also it doesn't promote bullying or anything like that because you never and I mean never talk to the enemy team so you won't see you're child telling the other people they suck or that there losers. I'm also quite sure you're children were raised good considering the fact you take the time to visit these websites usually means you're a good parent.

No blood in the game at all and its not too violent

This game is not bad at all. It does not have any blood and gore at all.

Really not as bad as it looks at first. My advice to other parents is to let your kids rent it first and you will realize it isn't bad at all.

NO BLOOD!!!!!! great game for 12+

Ok as a gamer i love it alot there is one cussword in it and its d---it but mostly good bloodles is great the foes wail as they die problably not good for kids under 9 but 10 and above great if you dont care about violence and one word

The PC version of this game is great. Amazing, some might say, is it wasn't for the bad hitreg (hit registration). It is easy to pick up, has a nice learning curve, and you might find yourself learning a thing or two about Europeans while playing online. But, the Battlefield series has a tradition of being moddable. This is a good and bad thing. The good thing, is that, if your kid has half a brain, he can create custom maps and kits (loadouts of weapons) in the mod editor (it's insanely easy). Also, some nice people have created two NON-COMBAT mods for BF2, Sandbox (which allows your kid to build creations out of bridges and stuff) and Battleracer (which turns BF2 into a racing game). On the flip side, the bad thing is that some mods may contain unacceptable content, which manifests itself in the form of blood coming out of soldiers when you hit them. This may be acceptable for some people, but it might be unacceptable for others. If you have the console version, you have a worse game, but no mod worries. Have Fun!

It's a good game. There is some violence and mild swearing. There's also a litte red mark on the screen when you die. But it's not the every day M rated war games you see. This game is less violent and occasional swearing but it's ok.
