violence is a mild concern since you can see some gore but not alot. nothing yuo wouldnt see in tv14 movie edits. it is set in the heat of battle in WWII so it is pretty educational. and dont say there isnt any positive role models in this! these are the heroes that fought for our country! very good game for 14+ If you want a less violent game, I'd consider call of duty 4 modern warfare it is less violent yet more intense and fun.

I think it is a pretty good game, and yes it is violent, but if you watch war movies like Saving Private Ryan, it is no worse.

This game is a fun game, not as good as Call of Duty 4 might I add. Limbs fly everywhere and swear words will be heard. I haven't played the campaign at all, but I've watched Youtube a bit and have seen that it's quite violent. I recommend turning on the graphic content filter in the menu to take it down a notch, but it won't touch the multiplayer. As I said before, limbs are blown off w/ shotguns, artillary strikes, and sniper rifles quite often. It's not all too graphic, but you see bloody stumps of heads, arms, etc. It can get pretty gruesome. And Nazi zombie mode is worse, but very fun. I recommend this game to older teens, but you have to know your kid to know what they can take or should be exposed to.

It only has a little bit of blood no gore at all.The violence is not intense just like any teen war game.As far as language it doe not have any f bombs no s--ts oly 2 uses of hel-

There is an unnecessary amount of F-bombs dropped in the american side of the campaign. the Russians are more or less clean, preferring to cure in their native tongue, so if you don't understand Russian, its alright. Its kind of disturbing, hearing Japanese forces screaming as they are burned alive, but it teaches that was isnt just bang bang shoot em up; its real people, that feel real pain, just like you and me.

Very violent, gory, much more graphic than previous titles. However, as far as gameplay, very realistc, and accurately portrays the war. I say this game has good messages and role models, because this game clearly shows the "Good Guys" coming out on top. Your Sergeants have strong personalities and seem like good leaders.

fun but not good for kids

Call of Duty: World at War was, back in 2008, the most violent Call of Duty game to date. The game is set in two campaigns - the Pacific campaign in which the U.S. Marines fight the Japanese and the Russian campaign in which the Soviets fight the Nazis. The game features a lot of intense violence both in its scripted scenes and its non scripted scenes. Some of the most violent scenes include the ending (in which your Sergeant brutally kills a German soldier with a machete), the beginning of the fourth mission "Vendetta" (in which you watch a massacre of your own comrades) and the beginning of the mission "Eviction" (in which your comrades interrogate a German soldier and then shoot him in the head with a rifle). Other violent scenes include one of your comrades getting shot in the head as he looks over the edge of a boat and watching your squadmate get whipped, a cigarette shoved in his eye and then his throat slit. There is lots of offensive language in this game (both in American and Russian) even though most players won't know how to speak Russian. All of the soldiers in the game (American, Japanese, German and Russian) are good role models because even though some of them were enemies with one another the soldiers still fought for their country. The game is heavily based off the Second World War and includes real life battles including the battle of Okinawa and the Russian siege of the Reichstag (Nazi Parliament Building) in Berlin. This game is only for mature kids over the age of 14 who can understand the difference between reality and video games and know that war is not cool - only hell.
