Women in TF2

[jFr[e]ak93]

I was reading a post on the Escapist about guys playing as girls in games and through some strange mind bending process, it occurred to me that Team Fortress 2 has no female characters. (narrator aside).
My questions to you...
Would you like a female character in TF2?
What classes would you like them in? (i.e. Pyro, Sniper or something completely new)

The Pyro is a woman apparently. Anyways, I have no strong feelings one way or the other. As long as the game is good I can give two shits about the gender of the characters.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Not particularly. I mean, I guess it'd be cool if it were implemented well, but you could just download a mod if you want a female version of a class. I think TF2's fine the way it is.

 

[Prince Regent]

What do you mean no women? Sasha is female isn't she.

I'd play as a female spy or sniper though.

i don't see it as a huge deal, but it would be quite nice to implement females into the game, just have an option when you select class as to choose male or female, no biggie. only problem would be the character sizes and the hitboxes, but i'm sure valve could think of something xD

 

[Liam Riordan]

Download a mod, I think there is one for it. I strongly doubt Valve would remake their characters to be female, and only lord knows what the Pyro is.

Though it shouldn't make a difference what gender you are when your goal is to blow them into giblets.

 

[Grufflenark]

I'd prefer no females as it would screw up balance and hitboxes in so many ways.
Also Pyro is a male.

What do you mean, Pyro is totally a female.

Spoiler: Proof

If you want female TF2 characters then this [http://touhoufortress2.web.fc2.com/index.html] is my suggestion.

There are numerous female skins and voice packs for many of the classes in game, you need merely search for them.

Quality skins I've found are for the Scout:

The Spy:

The Heavy (*shudder*):

They all also have voice packs as far as I know.

Wouldn't mind if some of the characters were female, but please no new classes! The game is so perfectly balanced, just keep it the way it is.

We haven't seen "Meet the Pyro" yet though...

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Deep down every TF2 fan knows that the Pyro is a female sexy red-haired pyromaniac.

The real question is, who cares? Its a multiplayer game. The gender of your character model means absolutely nothing.

This person does a lot of FemFortress 2 stuff, and even has some mods too.

Also Pyro is a male.

Hitboxes don't even contour to the models in the first place.

Spoiler: Heavy Hitboxes
