Because the uncensored version was indexed by the BPjM, Germany saw a heavily modified version of the game in order to secure the "not under 18" rating from the USK. Changes include complete removal of blood & gore, almost all melee attack animations removed, enemy corpses disappear immediately after death, cutscenes modified to tone down the violence, Game Modes "Headshot" and "Close Combat Mode" are absent, bullet time feature removed, etc. Fortunately the German version from Austria and Switzerland is completely uncut.
