the only gore is a mans arm being shot off.when you shoot somebody blood goes on walls. no f-words

This game is an incredible, easy-to-play game with amazing multiplayer and graphics along with a memorable, albeit a little short, story. The story involves 4 main terrorists called "The 4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse". They want to divert US and British troops to the Middle East while they attempt to return Russia to a communist state. There are some very memorable moments, such as gunning from an AC-150 gunship and escaping off of a sinking boat. One in particular at the end of the mission "shock and awe" is something you won't expect and you will easily remember for awhile. I played this game 2 years ago and a lot of the big moments in the game are still fresh in my mind. The game has become more violent. When you shoot somebody and they are next to a wall, expect some blood to splatter and stick to the wall. There is no gore, but the incredible realism the game offers can make the violence seem a bit rougher. The multiplayer is the true meat of this game. As you get kills, finish matches, and complete challenges like getting 50 kills with a weapon or falling from a high place and surviving, you gain exp. Once you earn enough exp, you level up and are given more weapons and new perks. Perks are advantages such as more accuracy when firing from the hip, holding your breathe longer when sniping, or dropping a live grenade upon dying. You can hold three at once and they can be used in a variety of ways to give your character a certain role on the battlefield. While you can choose between 5 classes, you can create your own with unlocked weapons and perks. There are a ton of weapons and most of them handle differently, but certain pistols and sniper rifles feel a lot alike. Also, as you get kills and headshots with weapons they upgrade, allowing you to attach new scopes, silencers, paint jobs, and more to your weapons. Once you reach the maximum level, you can start over and re-earn everything in prestige mode. It may feel odd giving up everything you've earned to start back at level one, but it gives the exp system longer legs and gives you bragging rights. Also, if you get certain kill streaks (3, 5, and 7), you get more advantages, such as seeing the enemy on radar, calling in airstrikes, or sending a helicopter to do your bidding, respectivly. The multiplayer maps are very well done for the most part, but all of them (except shipment) are found in the single player campaign. I don't know why this is a problem, but some people don't seem to like it. Also, there are no rideable vehicles, so if hopping in them in Halo of Battlefield is your favorite part of said games, you may not like it. The graphics here are amazing. All of the guns, equipment, vehicles, and buildings look nearly photo-realistic with incredibly tiny details present. Textures look like they actually have texture. If you look for the little things, you will be even more amazed. The game's presentation is incredible. Overall, it is hard to say anything bad about this game. It's incredibly balanced, has some of the best multiplayer ever, and is highly memorable. It's been out for 2 years and it's still $55 used at certain retailers, which is saying something. It feels a lot like other call of dutys, so if you like them you will love this. If you're looking for a great shooter and still haven't picked this one up, do yourself a favor. You won't be disappointed.

Parents dont listen to common sense sometimes no kids cmon it doesen't matter about it being rated m for mature if your kid is mature enough to get it let him get it you dont have to wait till hes 17.

I will start off by saying this is an amazing game. I play it a good bit when I have time. My parents were always against these kinds of games, but a few months ago they decided to let me buy this game. They have no problem with it as it is not very violent. Some blood, definitely some language, but if your kid knows not to use it then it shouldn't matter too much. They've heard it all before. So parents, if you want to get your kids a good game without too much violence, I would say this is your safest bet. And it'd make a good quality game for christmas for a good price! Plenty of people still online, but don't worry about language there, just block them from the parental settings and you won't hear a thing.

ok i think this game is the best of the sires so, far also i think it is war done right

This isn't that bad of a M rated game. If you play games like gears of war 2, you will most definitely see my point. Yes, they do say s*** a few times, but that's why it has it's M rating. Overall, it's a very fun game and a lot go live.

this game is a is really not that bad a little cloud of blood comes out when you shoot somebody but its not bad yes ther is one scene when you shoot a mans arm off but you really dont just sit there and look at him as soon as you shoot him you have to run away overall young teens can handle it. not that bad of a game. parents think it is worse than it is

CoD 4 is an alright game to play, as for CoD 5 is a little bit more gory and swearing is bad. I "think" you can take of blood and swearing in CoD 4 so that's a good advantage for teenagers. One thing about CoD 4 is that there are terrorists and you play in Iraq. Ok, that's not that bad but still.....
