Mild FPS
I think this is a mild FPS that your kids should be able to play. They do use some cuss words. And the soldiers abandon the army for a search for riches. On top of that, 3/4 of the main characters (including you) used to be criminals. But this is not nearly as bad as other shooter games like it. No blood is seen. And you kill people strategically, instead of just going on a killing spree. And while your character is ONCE AGAIN a super-soldier that can stay alive though most combat, dying is easier than Master Chief in Halo or anyone else like that. I love the Battlefield series, and this continues in excellence.

Great First Person Shooter good for 11+ of age
Very good game. Mild language but nothing they havent heard before. This would be a very good for children who are new to the first person shooter genere because of its easy controls. There is no blood, however you can hear screams of pain when people die, and a sound when you attack an enemy eith a knife. The online play is very good, and pretty clean. I play it all the time and have hardly ever heard players talk while playing. If the language that your children might hear online is your concern, do not fear. Over all this would be a great game for an 11+ child.

Language is a big issue
This game is really great and funny. The violence isn't too badd (no blood or gore) but the language is constant. No F bombs but a ton of S words a words and D words. Great game

Really fun game
This game is really fun. The single-player campaign is fun yet challenging. My only issue is that your squad doesn't offer much help, but they are pretty funny. There is quite a few uses of sh*t in the campaign, and I mean a lot! Of course, it's not much of am issue cause everyone hears tons of cussing in school in third grade and up, but anyway, it's just words, and it doesn't harm anybody. The language by the characters in multiplayer isn't as bad, it is mainly just suck, h*ll, d*mn, and b*tch. I have this game for PS3, and barely anyone cusses on the headset. The violence isn't that bad; there's a lot of shooting and killing, but no blood or limbs and heads flying off. This game is really fun, and once someone's heard sh*t or can see video game violence, then they can play this game.

it's a pretty safe a good game
it's OK when i first got it i thought it was going to be to bloody and gory but turns out you never see the blood and the good think is safety isn't an issue since you can't talk with other people.

this game is pretty dang tight
This game is the best and not even bad. There is some language but you can just ignore it. The multiplayer looks fun i havent played it cuz you need a certain connection but anyways its an overall very good game hope you play it.

A non violent First person Shooter.
I am very pleased they released one with no gore and blood. Just a layed back. Actually can be amusing between the company in cut scenes. There are lots of deaths yes, But not graphical at all. You get foul language online sometimes and the odd mild profanity word in single player gameplay. So a kids version of Call of duty. Very good.

Good game, a balance. Nice gameplay and visuals, without it being too inappropriate.
A fun game, singleplayer story is addicting, but by the time you beat it, you get kind of sick of it. The worst parts of the game are the language (s**t, b*****d, being the more extreme ones) and the idea of personal gain over serving your country. To me, this is why the conquest mode online is better than "Gold Rush". It puts things back how they should be, an exciting game that more or less simulates modern combat wit no blood at all. Great game for teens to play, and a great alternative to more graphic, more harshly rated games.

Ok so this is a great game
for kids that are mature enough to hear cursing and not go around and say all of them(if you want you can turn of the cursing). But I would say that if you have a kid that says what ever they here,then they should wait.

Iffy for tweens
Great game with violence, swearing. You shoot Russians and other soldiers, blow up tanks, destroy buildings, and much more. Language can also be an issue for youngsters, there are constant uses of Sh*t. Some bad messages and role models. The team becomes greedy and deserts the Army in search of gold. Plus,they are quite cynical in the matter of new recruits constantly believing that you (Preston) is going to die.

Good,Great,iffy
Hey, Bad Company is anok game for 12-13 and up but for 11 and below... it's kinda iffy. language is a constant issue and violence is pretty destructive. the game itself is great id reccomend it for teens and tweens.

Funny and smart first person shooter is more suitable with an M rating.
This is a smart, funny, clever, and somewhat educational first person shooter game.This game recieved a "T" rating from the ESRB, but some of the violence is more intense than other T rated games like Call of Duty 2-3, Alan wake, Medal of Honor 1-4, and Battle: Los Angeles. Like it's sequels, "Battle Field: Bad Company" is more suitable for older players. Other than the violence, there is also some strong language littered throughout the game. This is my personal favorite first person shooter because the jokes are hilarious, the graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is very fun. This is a must-own! My ESRB rating is M for blood and gore, language, intense violence, and some mild use of alchohol.
