Quite the debate.

I'll put it bluntly as before, because of Testostorone and Estrogen....Males are Teratorial (Competative) and Females are Passive (Daft & Boring)

The World has progressed because of the thrist of technology, things get DONE because we compete...men that is, women provide love...support...dinner at 6:00

Frankly, men rule the world and as much as i hate to say these things they're true.


Apparently you don't hate saying them that much since you still say them despite it being false. Most of what you said was sexist. This offends me. I'm a guy, but not only is it discriminating towards women, it also makes males sound like sexist pigs.

My little sister likes to play Halo. My brother's girlfriend's little sister also likes playing Halo. My brother's girlfriend likes playing Halo. My girlfriend likes playing Halo. I've got plenty of chicks to play Halo with.

If the name doesn't give it away then I don't know what will..

Halo was my first FPS and I fell in love with it the second I picked it up. I've been a gamer for a while (Yay NES) but FPS just hadn't apealed to me until Halo. Unless you count Duck Hunt. I would spend hours on that game...

Er, Anyways. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out the Halo thumbsticks on inverted. On one hand I never played Xbox but on the other the first level I played was the Heroic Library on Co-op which forced me to learn. Fast.

Its a shame there aren't more serious girl Halo players but what you gonna do? But don't feel too bad, boys. Girl games from 18-15 make up about 30% of gamer population. We are out there. Just look.

I play on Halo PC MP every now and then: 'halo girl'. Say hi but just don't bug me with stupid question while i'm trying to kill things.

To those who were saying that they knew tons of girls that play halo, were they hot, or were they fat and but-ugly? My girlfriend is hot as hell, and so is my bro's. They both love to watch us play halo, and they occasionally ask to play themselves. The only real time my GF plays halo is with me, alone, so that I can be there for her, 24/7 when she screws up and when she rocks the hell out of the covenant. She usually gives my a reward for kicking my brother's ass, most of you probably know what I'm talking about. She's also trying to cheer me up when my brother screen looks and figures out that I had his ass, in the best way. I pretty much get bummed and pissed when my brother does this, so she whisper's to his girl friend to slap him. And his girlfriend usually does. LOL, I got the best GF in the history of mankind. A Halo lover, a hot ass girl, great musical voice, and she REALLY likes me. I'm in heaven.


Suckers....=P

It actually took me awhile to master the two thumbsticks. Though my first fps was turok for the cube. After a few games I got the dual sticks down. Then when I started halo the two thumbsticks were natural to me.

[rant] I don't mean to flame but I just hate this question. You can only imagine trying to play MP and trying to ignore the scrolling "R U hot? A/S/L girl? Talk to me, halo girl! R U really a girl?" that always comes when trying to kill people. I'm sure there is a mix of "kinds" of girls out there that play. [/rant]

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

No problem Jenni, I just think that you should attack the guys over at XBC rather than us. That's like getting your ass kicked in school and then coming home to kick your younger sibling's face in.

And I think that question about whether if the girls were this and that was kind of dumb. Beauty is an abstract thing although sometimes it is a commonly shared taste, and you'd be surprised how many people are as happy as you are with someone that you might find that is fat and ugly or whatever.

I would like to play some of you guys (and girls) on XBC. Maybe give me your user name?

Thanks for the kind comment Colt. I'm a writer by trade, so when someone compliments my writing, it means a lot.

For some reason I can't seem to shake the feeling that this argument has become a tad shallow. Keep in mind that I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 about an hour ago and I'm not in the most diplomatic of moods, so please take this with a grain of salt. All the same, I don't even understand why gender should matter to anyone when playing a video game. I've said in other posts that I see games as simply the evolution of poker night. If all I wanted from a game was a challenge or an imaginative experience, I'd play through a campaign or against bots. When I play multi games, it's because I want to interact with actual human beings. In that case, why should gender even be an issue? Guy or girl, at least there's a person controlling the space marine you just fragged.

Simply because of how games are perceived in our culture, I think it'll be a long time before there are as many girl gamers as guys. But why should that matter? Unless you're trying to get laid by playing Unreal Tournament (highly unlikely), the gender of the people you're fragging shouldn't really be your major concern. Your major concern should be finding the most ridiculously awesome way to reduce them to their component molecules. And all you ever see is an avatar anyway. You wouldn't know who your opponent was even if you wanted to. So in a sense gender is kind of a moot point. You could be playing against a hermaphrodite, for all you care. Maybe someone with gills and a trunk. I say as long as they can hold a gamepad or a mouse, bring 'em on.

Holy Forerunners, I did NOT just quote George W. Bush......

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

What is a writer in trade, if you don't mind my asking? I've been told that I am a good writer a few times, but only from highschool friends/teacher.

"You wouldn't know who your opponent was even if you wanted to." That's not true. I've been friends with this guy for about 2 years now, and I met him on CS. I also plan to visit him in real life sometime. And most people can tell who a girl is in a game either by voice, or by alias.

Sorry, it's just that I heard that most of the girls at E3 weren't all that great. I guess I used a little harsh of words, but the guy I heard it from had a girlfriend that was pretty ugly, and he worshiped her, so I was trying to imagine what the girls were like.

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

(not saying this in a negative combat manner) You're missing the point though dude. Everyone has different tastes. A lot of people like Halo, and it is the same thing with girls (although there are more girls than videogames), a lot of people have a commonly accepted definition of beauty. But beauty is abstract, have you ever heard the saying, "to the eye of the beholder"? Well, it is something like that. To each his own.

I think you guys are on the right track trying to get more girls to play by letting them try it and offering them to play. That was how I got all my friends and then some into DDR. Be supportive. I've been thinking about making a "Halo Missionary" shirt to go along with the "DDR Missionary" shirt I have, lol.

At the end of the year an awsum teacher let us bring in 3 xboxs and we had a crazy-awsome lan party. About 5 girls were their nand they played on the basis that they had never played that type of game befor and wanted to "whoop" us in it. That of course incured our wrath and we set out to dominate. I was the first to kill a girl and when she died she stated the game was horrible and quit. We decided to go easier on the(probably beause they were pretty hot and we didn't want them to leave). Soon a few of them had been killed and they promptly quit. Only one girl stayed 'till the end of the game but she stopped soon after. I have come to the conclusion that girls don't have the persistence to stay with something they're not good at. Most of them are too stuck up to stay with something if they're not natuarlly geniuses at it(which isn't much). They don't have the comitment to try to advance. Esentially just quit when things don't go their way.

That's called a sore loser. But I must admit, sometimes I have gotten mad while playing on XBC and quit in the middle of the game, just before saying a bunch of obscene things in the room and quitting there.
