Apparently your reading comprehension is not all there, I didn't say that it necessarily irritates me. It's just annoying.

bungie doesnt need to make the armour changes, but that would make the game alittle more realistic

"NOOOOOOOOO THEN HALO WILL BE LIKE CALL OF DUTY!!!!!!" All the fanboys yell. That's all we want: realism. This might be Bungie's last game in the Halo franchise, and we, the community, would like to see some change because we have had the same thing for four games. All the fanboys want the exact same thing; they don't like even the slightest change, or they will go in a nerd rage.
Halo should remain Halo. Why are you here if you want something different? There are thousands of games on the market. Refrain from requesting to -blam!- this one up when you have other games to play. There is only one Halo game I can play and you want it to be generic.

So you want the same boring gameplay that has been in the last four games in this one... What's so wrong about making slight changes for this game?

C&H

i dont think that female spartans would require a much different breast plate.

Main reason, they have been treated with all kinds of physical enhancement drugs/surgery, im assuming that they would have been given a hormone like Testosterone to boost their muscle mass and not oestrogen which would give them more fat.

Also i'm not to sure on the source but i remember hearing something in history class that female warriors like the amazons would have their archers cut off their breast as it allowed for greater accuracy when wielding a bow. I dont how ever think that this drastic measure would be needed for aiming a sniper rifle but it does bring into the inclusions of space limiting, a female spartan would probably not have big breast in the first place due in part to the restrictions of the spartan armour, much like some girls who have a family of big breasted women they subconsciously hate the thought of having big breast so wear -blam!- clothes which actually limits the growth potential.

Also why would you assume that Elite women have breast? nothing says that they are mamals thus wouldnt necessairly have mammary glands.

And i dont think that Bungie would make a female spartan looking armour like the one you poster as it looks far too much like samus.

In all honesty, I don't think lady Spartans would look that different from guy Spartans because of the training/enhancements.

But in multiplayer, each character has to be the same height, and width. So there are no advantages. Everyone would choose to be female, because it gives them a slighter advantage.


I agree. Plus female spartans are nearly the same size as their male counterparts. They were designed to be killing machines after all, not win beauty pageants.

No.

Why does everyone assume females will be smaller?

I know some TALL freakin girls.

It really comes down to campaign. If there are female Spartans in campaign, the same model would be used for MM unless Bungie deliberately omitted it because all the people out there that complain about how they would be harder to hit.
Either way, i'm pretty sure there will be at least one female spartan in campaign so we'll all get our chick soldier hit. :P

WhO wOuLd It Be BuT mE?!?

Look, you people who are saying that people would choose the female body to gain a slight advantage are wrong, Bungie would set the kill boxes to be the same, like the elite and spartan are entirely the same as opposed to what you may think. the only difference is the visual figure of the character, which is what is being asked for. All that is wanted is for the visual figure of the character to be a slight bit different from the normal. Like as was aforementioned. to create a slight lump or outward protrusion to represent a woman's breasts, or slimming the figure in a small way not anything that would cause people be like "OHWTF IS THIS -blam!-?!?!" when they go back into Theater to get a screen shot, or film clip and they happen to see a bullet killing a character when it didn't even hit their body. If you take the back story of the game which, is that a Spartan is genetically enhanced human-being that is placed within a suit of armor which conforms their figure, literally like a glove. Taking cues from the back story, there were quite a few female Spartans, so placing a female choice to act as a representation of a female gamer, so she can be better recognized isn't to bad an idea. Also thanks to the genetic enhancements they were given they gained a taller, slightly bulkier figure which wasn't much smaller then the male figure, therefore not giving any advantage at all.

As for a female Elite, the same idea can be assumed, maybe a change in the facial features or other small things like that could be done.

You and others have said this to death. You will get the same response every time. GIRLS DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE DUDES.
