Re: Battlefield 4 offensive language filter?

I played COD Black Ops for a very very short time. One thing that made me want to burn the game immediately was a language filter. I could not rename one of my classes "Assault" because it supposedly had the word "ASS" in it.. what kind of M rated game filters language.

This post isn't about whats good or bad in an M rated game. Its a yes or no question on if there is a way to filter swearing and such. I'm mostly interested in if the MP callouts use offensive language. If you could confirm that for us that would rock! 🙂

Please stay on topic. This post is to clarify an aspect of the game, not debate if that aspect should be there or not.

Good to know about the bugs though. Thank you for that

To answer question NO. And to end with a little debate, any game rated M should never have any type of filter on it.

I dont see any reason for why they sould not have a filter. They could increase their market by having some sort of parental controls making the game more teen. It would make a lot of people happy and would give the makers a chance to get more money.

Only a short-sighted fool would say that a game shouldn't have a language filter if some of the people want it. If you like all of the F-Bombs, you don't have to turn the filter on. If I don't want to hear that stuff, I can turn it on and still enjoy the game. Everybody wins.

I don't quite understand...are you saying that there should not be such an option?  What would be wrong with giving such a choice?  Search the web and you will find 100's of such requests or questions.  MW3 & BO2 a very playable games with the filter turned on...it did not affect gameplay at all. But without it turned on the language was atrocious.  It doesn't matter whether you fail to see the logic of it, it is simply people wanting the choice.  The fact that the greatest selling games of all time provides it shows that there is a demand for it.  Unfortunately, it seems that the option is not there for BF4 or for COD:Ghosts, for that matter.  I played BF4 at a friend's house, and it is awesome...unfortunately the language was horrendous.  Someone bought it for me for Christmas and I took it back....I can't play a game whose language I am unable to tolerate hearing...just the option to bleep it out or mute it out would be nice, but...oh well. Ghost's language is supposed to be much less offensive (like not having an F-bomb every 1-2 minutes)...maybe I'll buy that with the Walmart gift card I now have.

how would this be an issue to you or anyone els if it did have a filter? you could keep it the way you want to , and other people can use the filter.

Your response is very narrow minded and shows a lack of true maturity. I am 52 and have served my country in the Military. Believe it or not there are some very upstanding moral individuals in the service that do not appreciate nor use foul language. Neither do they "Enjoy" killing. However, we do believe in freedom and will give are lives or kill if necessary to keep those freedoms. So, just because you choose to listen too or use foul language, you should not say that my choice to have an optional language & gore filter for the game is somehow less than honorable.. Oh and by the way, mature ratings would better be labeled immature in my opinion. Real men want to uphold honor and integrity of speech and living. 

as someone who was in military and plays BF4 let me say, we never cursed - being shot at or not - as much as they do in this game. Even i'm tired of seeing it in multiplayer and hearing it in campaign.

if the players want it then yes, it should
