I would say that this game is appropriate for kids 12 and older. The game is violent, but it shows what it is really like for our brave troops over seas. My son oldest son Michael who is 19, is in Iraq right now, and my youngest son Joseph who is 12, plays this game with me. When Michael was home last month, he played it and he was shocked on how realistic the game was to his experiences in Iraq. I think that kids at age 12 or 13 should play this game because it is important for them to know what it is like. This game shows the relationships between the troops and that they don't just go there to kill- the story in the game is that the troops secure the new weapon of mass destruction, and return home.

Battlefield Bad Company has always been compared to Call Of Duty for a long time. First off the violence, Its not that bad. There is blood and knives of course. No dismemberment and a toned down Call of Duty. The language is ridiculous. F*** this F*** that. Most of the swearing is out of order. Its stupid. They swear a lot and make jokes involving plenty of swearing. The messages according to Common sense, Are bad? They are soldiers fighting for America. That is not bad. Just overall its toned down call of duty.. Get this over it.

Well I am 17 and my dad let me get this game due to the fact that I am more mature than most kids my age. I would not reccomend this game to anyone under 17. There is a lot of language, mostly in singleplayer where the soldiers in oyur squad, well, talk like soldiers. Many uses of the "F" word, "S" word, and "god dam*". Gameplay is very attractive and the graphics pose a lifelike look. It is a very fun game, there is blood, lots of violence that most teens appeal to. But I would strongly reccomend this to not be played by anyone under 17. Too much stuff in it that may change the way your child talks or thinks.

This game, however contrary to anyone else's beliefs, deserves an M rating. HOWEVER i must STRESS that this game is not in my opinion M for violence, blood, sex, or drugs, but it's consistent use of VERY strong language. The language is used frequently, however only consists of things your child HAS TO HAVE HEARD by his age. IF your child is exposed to violent, strong language, then this game would be an easy T rating. however, for parents that are still worried about exposure to language, may be hesitant. Violence is no issue, it has the violence of a typical T rated FPS, and believe it or not, a little less. People can use different guns to kill other players, however, the violence is very spaced, by spaced I mean it is not constant like Call of Duty, where the areas you have to play on are a small as a local McDonald's. The game features VERY large maps, that detract from the violence, but not from the fun. For positives, The game features good role models, who fight ONLY to find a WMD and secure it to not be used wrong, and positive messages because it sends the message that doing what right for the greater good, beats whats good for yourself.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is a fun, bloody game with deep characters and downright funny dialogue. -Violence: There's shooting, screams, and squirts of blood. All in all nothing worse than your standard T rated shooter. -Language: Characters curse...a lot. If your kid is under 14, do the community a big favor and keep them offline.

it s good . the violence isn't oveer the top. the language can be muted and there isn't any blood.

good not bad violence

Okay...the main issue I have with this game is....well, the MULTIPLE issues I have with this game are: 1) Controls quite choppy and difficult to handle 2) Lot of cursing, and the dialogue is too cheesy for me to make any excuse for it. 3) Violence, but not much of a storyline 4) Call of Duty did it better. 5) Call of Duty did it better. CALL OF DUTY DID IT BETTER. It plays like a rip-off of Call of Duty, and it essentially is, without the butter smooth, melt in your hand controls. Your character feels like a 300 pound unathletic boulder, lumbering around on two stubby legs that for some reason, jars you around a ton when walking to avoid bullets. The gun all of a sudden gets sticky and hard to aim when you try to fire it at objects....gah.... basically, If I'm gonna expose my kid to violence, I want the game to be beautiful, have an excellent storyline, good dialogue, and be worth my money and worth the time. This game would be mediocre, but.... Call of Duty did it better.
