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.

(And please don't flame--state your opinions politely and in a civil manner. I don't enjoy starting flame-wars.)

I was a finalist :P

This thread won't go that far, as it will be locked. This is the wrong forum, post in the Halo Reach forum or on waypoint (no poll system in the latter).

Sorry. How do I lock threads or delete them? I feel ashamed to have made this kind of error.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, though.

Only mods can lock it ;) no worries mate. Head to the reach forum as you can add a poll to it. We have all made this mistake

Videogames, Anime, and Interwebz. I love it all!

You don't lock threads. The mods do. They'll get to this when they see it. But feel free to repost this in the Reach forum.

Key

Even though you're polling the community, this should go in either the Halo Reach Forums here on Bungie.net or the Halo Waypoint Forums at 343 Industries' website.


OT: Male spartans... they have 2 whole arms. (ha... kat's a cripple)

Watch This.

I am a male, so therfor I enjoy having my spartan the same gender as me.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Male because I'm a male.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

FemSPARTAN sounds like a -blam!- brand.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

you could discuss this on the Reach forum or tell BSangel all about it on 343i.

You say tomato; I say potato.

1) I can tell when someone else is sprinting.
2) I resemble a human.
3) Get that booty.
