Simple question. Who did you play as--or, if you tended to switch regularly, who did you prefer?
Myself, I preferred the female SPARTAN. I am a guy in RL, and I've gotten a lot of hell for being a guy playing as a girl in a game that gives you a choice for either, but I find it was refreshing. Honestly, when it came down to it, my gameplay experience wasn't radically "changed" due to the gender system, but it was just interesting to try a different approach when stepping into the often-cliched-and-stereotype "Ultimate Hero/Badass" role. Perhaps it was playing games such as Mass Effect that got me a little more comfortable stepping into the shoes of one in the opposite gender--at least, in the most marginal way possible due to Reach treating the genders as virtual equals, other than in appearance and voice.
