GOW Explicit Language

Don't know if this was posted or not. but under Options, there is a setting to turn off Extreme Language and Blood.

This is really good news for me. Not that I mind, but my son and I really enjoy playing split-screen Co-op together. We liked PDZ and Halo 1&2, He is only 10 and I was really concerned about the many F-bombs and other language. I'm glad to see the option to turn it off.

BTW I'm playing it alone for now, with full on blood guts and BrewCity cursing!!! and the game is pretty and fun.

How many dog tags you got so far.. only 1 here.

cog is what you are... the marines you are with are all cogs. The tags that you find are left around the whole game. The benefit to finding all 30 is just more achievement points. Another nice addition to the game if you ask me!! Adds to the replay value of the single player even further!!!

wow, that's great news! It's about time one of these companies recognized the need for this. I don't want to censor anyone-- but having the choice of whether to have it on or off is just plain awesome!

I think we got into a conversation about language in games before or something. This is a really nice addition to the options of the game. I'll never use it, mind you, but if you're offended by coarse language and/or have little ones running around screaming for Count Chocula, then it's cool they put it in.

I'll never use it most likely as my kids are to young to be around this at anytime. So I won't play until they go to bed.

Cog tags=Dog tags: sometimes they are in plain sight, sometimes they are hidden.

I have 11 so far and I am positive that I have missed a few.

I definitely missed a few tags, I only have 9 on Act 4. I figure when I play through on insane I will find the ones I missed. You can go back inside individual chapters and get them too, which is nice.

Fragmintz is an unknown quantity at this point

that is good news - not that I'll be playing it on that version any time soon. By the time my unborn kid gets old enough to know what is going on I'll be playing the Xbox 720 (that's two circles)

Do they have a much more offensive language option? I am down for that.... maybe it will help my infants vocabulary some.

Well, I turned off explicit language and played co-op with my son. The only thing removed were the F-bombs. They left in many variations of sh!t, bullsh!t, A-hole, dickwad, etc..

So I told him.. "don't tell mom.." , and "reload"

I think I found a glitch in the campaign: When you Fuel the Junker. If you go in the backroom first and get ammo and then fuel it, you never get the checkpoint. I ran around for 20 minutes and died twice trying to enter the Junker after it was fueled up.

I may change my gamertag to "The Junker"
