Bottom Line

This is a first person shooter game that contains a lot of realistic violence including some gore. There is also a social network side to this app where users can create profiles, share their stats, comment on each others posts, and direct message one another. There is no option for a private profile. When playing the game, there are two modes:: campaign mode, where users can play against AI (computer generated) opponents or multiplayer mode, where users can play with up to 12 strangers. In multiplayer, there is ongoing voice chat with users frequently trash-talking one another, often using vulgar and/or threatening language. This game is inappropriate for young gamers because it connects them with strangers, exposes them to high risk of bullying and the possibility of other inappropriate interactions via private messaging. Parents should know if their child under 18 is using this app. No child under 16 should use this app at all.
