If anyone has seen the John 117 monument, the spartan in there looks kind of curvy and feminine. Maybe it's just the pose John is in, but that got me thinking that female spartans' armor should look more...feminine. Males are bulky, and females are...not, and there's only so much armor you can put on a female to make her the same size as a male. I just don't think its consistent, and if anything they should be slightly slimmer than the males.

Also for matchmaking, i hope you don't put the female elites option in--i don't logically see how their species can have females...i swear they're asectsual (avoiding blam)

what is?

Im pretty handy with those assassinations.

The idea of having a female armored spartan has its use in campaign but in matchmaking, you would then realized that alot of your friends are transvestites. Ignorance is bliss in that sense.

Signatures are for squares.

The armor is uni-sex already.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

You crazy? Not slimmer, I just want to see less of it.

Elites do have females in their race, it was hinted in Halo 2 when Rtas said "On the blood of our Fathers, the blood of our sons" which hints that they may reproduce -blam!-ly. I've seen a picture of a female spartan in slimmer looking armor...it made them look VERY skinny, I could see their ribcage but it was only a fan drawing thank god.

All male and female spartans look the same in their armor

You are lame...

No it would give an advantage to the female players, they would have a smaller hitboxes for all of their body parts.

I don't join any group that spams me in PM so don't try it.
SPAM applies to anything that is copy and pasted, it is very obvious when you do so don't say you wrote it. Also if you argue with me on the nature of things contained in this signature, you will be blocked and never removed. If you send to me in XBox live you will be Avoided, Blocked, and a complaint will be filed for harassment.

And it would be non-canon.

For the most part, the difference between male and female builds relies stricktly on hormones.

We're talking about children trained from the age of 6 here, a time when boys and girls are almost completely identical aside form their groin area. They're raised the same, and go throught the same modification techniques, trained the same, and exercise the same.

There is understandable structural differences, but those rely more on the in depth part of what genes do. Height, musclemass peak, facial structure, bone structure. These are the things that will be less affected by outside manipulation / drugs.

AKA fingerprints.

Therefore, individual spartans will have minor variations only, and very little would simply be the result of gender.

Examples from real life:
Female Body builders vs Male Body Builders
Really obese Women and Men.
Extremely thin people.(emaciated)

Each of those treatments of the human body result in less gender differential of the overall form.

Now, you wrap some super armor around these people, and the variations become even less.

There.

That should do it.

/but I know it won't

that explains it logically, and i thank you for that.
However, i don't feel like there's enough personalization in the spartans or elites as there is with an ODST--just something that bungie should think on

it would still be the same. Elites have smaller heads, but the hitboxes are still the same.

Their figure would be trimmed down a harder target to hit

Both genders underwent physical augmentations to become as combat-ready as possible.

Gender is a vestical apendage at that point. Male and Female spartans would look close enough to appear identical when in Mjonir armor.

So you're saying that people would be playing more females in matchmaking, because they're harder to hit?

Well i got news for ya, people do that with elites in SWAT and other playlists, so it wont be anything new.

IMO, MJONIR Armor is way too bulky

lol...but seriously, the bra and thong thing...no...just no

  • 11.21.2009 11:20 AM PDT

Its a trap!!!

I would like it for machinima purposes but for MM it would be unbalanced.

If somehow we could have a sexier spartan for machinima. Because I wanted to give a female spartan in it a samus feel

  • 11.21.2009 11:21 AM PDT

I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.

Stat and Sig

In all reality they probably will because there building reach from the ground up.

All i hear is people whining about hitboxes, and claiming everyone has to be the same size. To me that's lame
