To address the actual topic though, I wouldn't say that female marines, in <b>this</b> future, would be all that unrealistic. Technology (eg. powered armour, advanced weaponry, fairy dust--er, I mean, <b>nanites</b>) can be a very effective equaliser. Of course, that doesn't change the differences in our cerebral capacity (for example, men have better situational awareness, and better 3-dimensional visualisation) or tendencies (for example, men are more aggressive). I'd cite some sources but then I'd have to search for it, and I might be wrong on specific examples, so you can just google it yourself.

Women apparently have better peripheral vision too, while men have something called "tunnel vision" but that's another reason someone would pick a female marine because it's easier to play. I think there shouldn't be many differences between the female and male marine.
Yeah I know, I'm not advocating differences in the game. Quite the opposite. I think what I should have said, was that I was addressing this: <!--QuoteBegin-Wyattx3+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Wyattx3)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->If you wanted it to be realistic, there would be no women.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->And then I just went on a tangent about how men and women would be, thanks to technology, physically alike in a combat situation; but then, also considered how they'd still be different, and so Wyattx3 might still have a point.
I'm sorry, was this a discussion on gender based hitboxes or are we making plans for World of Natural Selectioncraft? I'm beginning to think the ladder with all this talk about character customization.
Generic male and female models. Spawn. Start shooting.
