Well I like the equality but knowing the community this is probably just going to lead to more abuse for actual females as the avatar might give them away. But most female avatars seem to be guys anyway.
This is a good thing for IW to do but I think it'll end badly but it's not their fault, it's the community. I could be wrong however, didn't make much difference in halo so hopefully it's the same deal here.

I am not impressed. Really was it that hard to include a female in a shooter game these days? Was it that hard..
How many female avatars haven't we been able to play in the past in shootergames? Maybe they we're not the first choice but they we're there! So why didn't the engine has support of FEMALE bodies in the past? I know female bodies in the past didn't have much physics behind it to make them different.
But really it took you guys this long to make this.. I guess shooters are only for those with beards.

Possibly because in majority of the world there are no women soldiers. I mean infantry. Most countries do now allow women to go to infantry and the few that do have started allowing them very recently. It is realistic to have no women rambo running around middle east.CloudAtlas said:
Dont get me wrong, im not agaisnt female soldiers, i think in real life and in games alike, soldiers should be sent to their work based on their chracteristics and not them bieng male or female, but there is a real explanation oher than sexism.
if anything battlefront is more escapists obsession. I agree that battlefield multiplayer while not perfect is better than that of COD, though counter strike i found completely too boring/easy.Korten12 said:
so a game that has larger, wider multipalyer with more options and more physics is the one copying?Tayh said:
so they have to adapt their game towards people with an illness who has more fake cases than real ones reported now? how about we make all games playable with one hand because you know there are people without one?ShinyCharizard said:

A lot.CloudAtlas said:
Voice acting is very expensive. Well, good voice acting anyway.
No. All you really need is one single female voice actor shouting a few dozen lines. And those lines don't exactly have to convey the same emotional depth as they do in games like Bioshock, Last of Us or Mass Effect. I'm not claiming it doesn't cost anything, but the costs are so low that the cost/benefit ratio should be off the charts.Strazdas said:
So they made a female model for a multiplayer mode. A female model who's going to be kitted out so she'll look identical to a male model unless they go full idiot and have boob kevlar or something. Way to make a pointless gesture and waste some cash, I suppose.
If equality is that easy I'm amazed we didn't do it years ago.
Edit: I foresee a "Bitchmode" in which all players are forced to play as female dogs.

I don't understand why this is a big deal, Congrats you can play as a girl. Too bad it's COD and you won't even see your character. Hell most games won't last long enough for to get a real good look, I seriously hope they didn't waste any resources or time on this that could of been used for balance.
There's a reason men have always been the ones on the front lines. There are certain... periods of time... where women are less than combat-ready. Not only that, but there's always the risk of pregnancy while on active duty.
Men are always combat ready and don't get paid maternity leave. You can strike anyone any time AND it keeps your overhead costs down.
Still, doesn't mean women still can't kick just as much ass. Outside of those conditional modifiers of course. I dunno how Samus does it, maybe she had surgery or something?

How do you think game balancing is done? Do you think the people who make models are in charge of weapons balancing?White Lightning said:
Is the new call of duty game even at a stage where balance comes into play? Are they actively playtesting it to see how the new features and changes they plan to make effect the rest of the game?
World of Warcraft was originally slated to have only 6 playable races. But because of one dev's work at home overnight doing models, they added 8 during launch.
Finally...i can live out my fantasy of being a big butch man killing women for the fun of it...hell i might even take this into the real world with me, the fun i could have! 
I don't know how game balancing is done, but I do know COD developers are bad at it. COD 4 was the closest to being balanced and there were still a lot of problems.thebakedpotato said:
I never said the guys who make character models were in charge of weapons, but that doesn't mean they aren't using resources that could of been spent somewhere else.
The entire time of a games development is a stage where balance needs to be considered, it's a fundamental part of a game. Especially when said game is a primarily multiplayer game.
I'm not sure what the WoW bit had to do with this but I guess that's kind of neat, too bad no one making COD cares enough to do something like that...
If my spelling and what not is crap it's cuz I just got home from work and I'm tired
Seeing as how it's not either/or (especially since they'll probably never bother with balance in any meaningful sense), if it doesn't matter then why not do it?Capitano Segnaposto said:
Kudos to CoD! I'm genuinely surprised. Now CoD has gone from a game series I don't give a damn about to a series I'll look into more.
If I can has bots in multiplayer, I don't see a reason to not get the game since the community's the major turn off for me. That, and up until now it's been a sausage-fest shooter.
It doesn't take much to make an inclusive game that makes people feel more welcome, it seems. It's a welcome step forward, IMO.
I wonder if Jim had any influence at all?

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the female soldier is a Prestige 10 unlock, thus reinforcing the trope that women are just trophies to be won?
Actually women in extremely fit physical condition tend to have much shorter or no periods at all, it's a common occurance among professional female athletes, and they will often stop training if they want to try and have children. The military also controls it well with their female soldiers, the only possible position where it would be problematic would be special forces spending extended time behind enemy lines, which with modern military tactics, is kind of rare nowadays (of course this is discounting the difference in physical requirements for special forces as well).Syzygy23 said:
Under the right conditions, a period is hardly the debilitating condition the media likes to portray it as, many women stop having periods due to exercise, diet, or just certain types of drugs.
