I don't know how many have heard of the new Medal of Honor coming out. It looks great. The biggest problem I think it will have is if it has language in it. But that's where we come in. Go to this topic on the forums, vote yes, and maybe leave a message in the comments. Do it now, please!

Please help.

You need an account to vote, and I'm not gonna go through the process of making one just to vote on something that will have absolutely no effect on the game development. It's way too much work for them to edit out the language, and the amount of money they might make for doing so would be inconsequential.

I put a vote on "yes". I don't think I would play Gears of War as much as I do if Epic hadn't put in the language and gore filter.

I would be curious if the name of Jesus Christ used as a curse word will be on the filter list.

I voted yes, I probably won't ever play the game though ;)

Seriously, I am really tired of hearing people drop vulgar swear bombs (I'm staring you down, Battlefield Bad Company 2) when I'm playing shooters. It's not fair to the musicians/voice actors when I have to turn down the audio just because someone's rattling off expletives that are an annoyance to hear.

Sometimes. But other times, curse words work. The F bomb at the end of Modern Warfare 2 was the best use of the F word I've ever heard. Also, the one (and only) F bomb in Metal Gear Solid 4 was pretty good too.

It all depends on how you look at curse words. You can see them as all bad with no redeeming qualities. Or, like me, you can see them as emotion emphasizers that can put a bigger impact on what you are trying to say, though there is such thing as very unnecessary or over-used language.

While I don't agree with swearing, you end up sort of sympathizing with Shepherd, despite his actions. The blood of 40,000 men on your head isn't something you want to live with.

I see swearing as the former--when I see a game with the "Strong Language" rating, I think, "Oh, no, not another game with the f-bomb in it. Seriously..." Most of the time, the latter isn't the case.

Same thing with music. I won't buy a song with any language in it at all. I voted for this, because I have a account (ha, Link!) but I think it'll be a lot of work that they won't want to do. Oh well, if its M I won't play it anyway.

Maybe they will put it in. As Adam Savage said, 'Bleeps are cheap'.
