Treyarch Forgot That Females Play Call of Duty Too

They're probably all just men with female avatars.

Hey! I'm a woman who bought black ops and I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the same benefit. Oh well, free stuff all around!

I stand corrected. It's probably mostly men with female avatars.

I stand corrected. It's probably mostly men with female avatars.

To be fair, I'm sure I'm the exception to the rule.

This is why outsiders think the gamer demographic is a bunch of nerds who can't get girls.

The people who make our games forget that women exist. >.>

Too bad for them to not consider 51% of the potential buyers.

Normally I'd agree with you two, but I highly doubt CoD is one of those games with much cross gender appeal. That's just me though.

 

[Phoenixlight]

How the hell could such a large company forget something like that?

One day your'll meet a female gamer. Don't worry.

I have. She has a male avatar.

Yeah well...

Psh, you've been corrected all ready. Tea? *offers*

 

[Elec0]

Nice fail Treyarch.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Now that's just cold Treyarch, cold.

 

[Evilsanta]

LIES! We all know there are no such thing as a female gamer!

OT:That was not serious any ways great that they are compensating the female side though they should have done so at the begining.

 

[Aethren]

All this talk about male gamers and female gamers...

Why is there no love for the herms?!

 

[thewhiterave]

My boyfriend wouldn't have bought Black Ops if I hadn't advised him to. It was a great investment. We female gamers DO exist...

OT: I kind of see it as a silly mistake, but honestly they should have checked and rechecked themselves. For shame Treyarch!

 

[Lord_Gremlin]

Big mistake indeed. Although I rarely see females playing such shooters. Well, with exception of L4D2 - for some reason a lot of girls play it. Perhaps zombie theme is appealing to broader audience then military one?

That said COD games suck. By now they turned into harbor for children and retards.

 

[Amphoteric]

Wouldn't you but the game for THE GAME and not in the expectation of a completely redundant virtual outfit?

 

[The Arbiter of Cool]

Why is this news? Is this not the most trivial piece of nonsense any of you have ever heard? Or is it just me?

When I read the title I actually assumed Treyarch had commited an unfortunate act of misconduct at the exspense of female gamers (I hate the word gamers). Only to be stupidfied when I clicked the link to the article to find out that your little computer generated make believe person didn't receive an outfit.

Female gamers (again Hate the word gamers) should be more upset that they are still being trivialized to the point where shit like this is even news.

[Mcface]

the 200 or so girls who actually play it must be distraught!

 

[duchaked]

well the account on my 360 with a female avatar suddenly got some nice duds

 

[BlindChance]

To be fair, credit to them for rectifying the problem so quickly on Xbox 360. Flipside though, really? Nobody stopped to think about that?

I so want to see ENN take this story on.

 

[Danpascooch]

wow, FAIL!

Seriously, that's just sad

 

[dochmbi]

Great news for the three females actually playing this game.
