gore - quite mild, and somewhat infrequent.
killing blow - head shot with any firearm, knife/bayonet will also so this regardless where you strike.

--- Nazi Zombies co-operative multiplayer mode (mp-survival)
--- This is so different from the rest of the game that it is not tagged so they're not confused with the main game, but here are the tags that have been omitted that apply to it alone.
shopping
zombies
dismemberment
powerups
waves
barricading
dogs/caninoids (demonic dogs or whatever)
popupnpcs (above demonic dogs)
respawning (at end of each wave)
deathpenalty (current equipment is lost, possibly power-ups too)

If anyone is having trouble starting a game (game refuses to start after selecting difficulty and so forth). You don't have active profile.
* Make sure the following folder exists:
...XP: C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/Activision/CoDWaW/players/profiles/
... Vista/7: C:/Users/USERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/Activision/CoDWaW/players/profiles/
* Add profile folder there, choose whatever name you want (e.g. "Default").
* Add active.txt file there (in profiles/), and add the name of your profile folder in it.
* Start

Note that the Local Settings folder is usually hidden.
