What disturbed me was how real it looked and how gory and graphic it was. Well that didnt disturb me as I'm an adult and can differentiate the difference between a game and real life (though the historical footage was kind of gory but still its history). What really disturbed me was the age of the kids playing this game. In online play you have a mic and can talk to and hear other people. Some of these kids were literally 10,11 and 12 years old. The game had a mature 18+ rating and VERY much deserved it, it was VERY gory (think D-day landing scene in saving Private Ryan for two hours straight). The way these ELEMENTARY aged kids talked and reacted while stalking and killing other "real" players online was down right creepy. Parents, watch what kind of games your kids are playing!
Yeah, graphics on todays consoles are unreal. The Call of Duty series is one of the funest to play out there. You get to choose from a plethora of guns and can customize them with different attatchments.

I have Xbox live and play Halo 3 every chance I get and your right about the amount of foul mouthed, obnoxious kids on there. These kids shouldn't even be playing these games offline unsupervised to begin with let alone on Xbox live.

I try to always play with a group of mature people I met online so this helps with not getting teamed up with the kids but when I do I always just mute them if their annoying.
