Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

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

I played this game for the first time recently, and as first person shooters go, COD 4 Modern Warfare sets the bar. It is an absolute masterpiece, with a gripping story, fluid controls, and stunning graphics. HOWEVER, this is not a game for anybody under 15 in my opinion. There are parts of this game that as a 19 year old gave me much to think about and chills to be completely honest. Crawling around mortally wounded in nuclear winter takes part in a level, which is morbid and causes deep thought about the consequences of war. Another level you must play as a helpless execution victim, ending with a Desert Eagle .50 caliber pistol to your character's head and the screen blacking out once the trigger is pulled. The main antagonist's son commits suicide when cornered in a certain level, and the supporting protagonist executes another antagonist with a shot to the head in another level. All of these things are very gruesome to watch and disturbed me even as a 19 year old! The ratings are there for a reason! Additionally, there is the usual blood, gore, and language expected in a war game. COD 4 is arguably the best game I've ever played in my life, but I would never share it with somebody 15 or under.

This game is amazing! I love the situations that they put you in, it is one of the craziest games I have ever played, mainly because you are thrown into encounters that are really interesting and just off-the-wall. Probably my second favorite FPS (after Modern Warfare 2). Yes, the game is violent (just like any other FPS) but is not excessively bloody. I did not hear any language when I played it, but I am 110% positive that if you play online, you will hear every imaginable phrase. For people on here saying that the game is "not too violent", please stop kidding yourselves. The entire game is based on you shooting a gun, yes, it is very violent. It is not GORY, but it is violent.

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.
