Sex & Nudity
-
- Mason tells an interrogator to kiss his ass.
Violence & Gore
-
- One point in the main story, you are meant to join up with another team. You swim up to a boat before pulling a vietnam soldier into the water and stab in the neck before sawing your way out the neck leaving a HUGE open slice in his neck.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops is a military first-person-shooter, and the average level of violence in multiplayer and campaign slightly greater than most first person shooters. While there is no explicit gore in multiplayer (just blood), the level of violence in the campaign can get quite strong and graphic. The zombies mode even more so, with an extreme amount of bloody violence and gore. However, all blood and gore can be deactivated in the options menu. You are also warned about this when the game starts.
- Whenever an enemy is shot with a standard weapon, be it an Assault Rifle, SMG or Pistol, a decent amount of blood will gush from their wounds and frequently stain the environment.
- The player has the ability to knife enemies. Blood will gush out of them in a long stream.
- If enemies are shot with a crossbow, arrows are seen where you shot them.
- Also if people are shot, and bloody wounds will be left on the person. If the dead bodies are shot at multiple wounds will appear and blood will continue to stain the environment and gush out.
- People can also be killed with flametrowhers and other "burning weapons". Some will be seen with charred skin while they scream in pain.
- More powerful weapons such as Shotguns, Machine Guns, Sniper Rifles, or Explosives can easily blow the arms and legs clean off of enemies, leaving them holding a gory stump before slowly dying. This's very gory and graphic. One mission in particular involves shooting enemies with a revolver. This damage the revolver does is insane, with graphic amounts of flesh and body parts flying off enemies, complete with blood splattering and images of gory stumps while the enemies yell in pain before dying. Easily the most graphic bits of the game. Would be a score of 8.5 if it weren't for this.
- Later on in this level, the player sneaks up behind an enemy and stabs a curved knife into the back of his spine. It is not too graphic, but it is brutal and the crunching sounds are disturbing.
- On two occasions the game goes into bullet time and you graphically see the bullet enter the head with a lot of blood and and some brain splatter.
- These are just the major scenes in Call of Duty: Black Ops, as there are numerous other violent sequences throughout.
- Zombies:
- The Zombies mode is the most graphic part of the game. All the maps got blood smeared and splattered everywhere, and the zombies (WW2 themed) can be graphicly shot. More than twice as much blood as in Campaign will gush out on impact. Bloody wounds are left on zombies, and if they are stabbed, a long stream of blood will splatter. If they're shot on their feets and arms, they'll go off, just like in Campaign. If both their legs are shot of, They'll drag themselves across the floor. Also, if they're shot in the head (with any other weapon than handgun) it'll blow off with big chuncks of gore splattering. If you're in a high level, They'll continue walking. If they're shot in the stomach region, The side of their torsos will be blown away with guts hanging out. If they're killed by explosives, their limbs, head and pieces of torso will be ripped away. A mangled piece of a charred torso is seen.
- However, if you turn of graphic content only smoke will burst out of them. Leaving no wounds and dissemberments.
- Multiplayer:
- Multiplayer mode is the least graphic part of the game. When an enemy is shot, blood is seen gushing out from his body. Blood will stain the environment. The bloodstains usually goes away very quickly. Just like Campaign and Zombies, bloody wounds will be left on peoples. Although no limbs can be shot off.
- You are able to turn off graphic content in the options menu. This substantially tones down the gore and blood.
Profanity
-
- Fidel Castro swears in spanish sometimes.
- While there is not much language in multiplayer and zombies, the following words are said throughout the campaign:
- Around 56 uses of "fuck."
- About 35-40 uses of "shit."
- 20-30 uses of "bastard."
- Some uses of "ass" and "asshole."
- Several uses of "son of a bitch."
- Infrequent uses of "pussy."
- Many uses of milder words such as "hell" and "damn."
- Although this sounds like a lot, keep in mind that the campaign is much much longer than any movie so therefore language is relatively infrequent.
- You are able to turn off graphic content in the options. This tones down the blood and language, but not completely. For example: "Fuck you" becomes "screw you."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There are some scenes with smoking. Some of the "good guys" smoke which could be a mixed signal for young kids.
- In the zombies mode, one of the characters constantly mentions Vodka.
- Also in zombies, you can drink bottles to gain abilities.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Scenes of torture, some are brutal.
- There is a sequence which is the most intense part of the game, where one of the main character's head is bashed in after he refuses to be a part of a game.
- The zombie mode is the most intense part of the game. Both the graphic violence (See violence/gore) and the disturbing "behavior" of zombies. Their "screaming" is also very intense, and you can get jump scared when they suddenly pop up behind you. On the DS they laugh a very creep laugh at the beginning and end of each wave.
- On Nintendo DS it is rated T. Though it isn't as deep and multiplayer doesn't work it is fun on zombies which is very frightening.
- Zombies on DS is scary and very hard which make it easier to get attacked by zombies. Lots of shooting and gory zombies advance towards you and since it's first person it makes you feel like you are about to die. Nothing is shown though when you are killed. It cuts straight to the score.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- While attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, the woman that he is shown with is wearing a rather skimpy negligee (presumably some sort of girlfriend or prostitute).
- In the level "Crash Site", there are a few pin-ups on the boat.
- In the level Payback, Woods makes a brief reference that he doesn't wanna be "shot in the balls."
Violence & Gore
- In the mission "Vorkuta" a Russian guard is impaled through the back with a pickaxe flesh and blood spew out of his wound while he is held up in the air then thrown down.
- A scene takes place where a character is violently stabbed in the head.
- In the mission, "Operation 40", Woods violently stabs a man's hand with a knife and hits him with a glass bottle all with some blood splatter. He then proceeds to execute the man.
- In the mission "Executive Order" you see a man's eye gouged out. It is not particularly graphic, but it is brutal.
- The mission "Victor Charlie" is quite graphic, where you brutally kill three Vietcong by rapidly shredding their throats open with a knife with plenty of blood spurting from their necks.
- In the mission "Project Nova" you see one of your comrades fatally exposed to Nova 6, a biochemical weapon. He vomits as the Nova 6 begins to kill him and then you see his face deteriorate as he screams. This scene is very disturbing and quite graphic.
- In the mission "Payback" you are forced to play Russian Roulette with your two other team members. One of the main characters refuses and is beaten to death in the back of the head with a lead pipe. Very intense.
- The battle of Kne Sanh contains a scene where a VietCong jumps you and you pull the pin of a grenade on his belt, thus blowing his limbs off. The actual blowing apart is seldom seen due to the explosion itself but you do later see his legs are blown off with a gory stump when looking down on him. The detail of gore is slightly obscured by darkness however.
