I see a man who looks like the unwiped inner-ring of Satan's rectum. Didn't know you were into that kind of thing, Cobra... ;)

She was too manly to be honest, Buck should pick some girl like Parissa (spellcheck?) or that girl that died in the "Prototype" Episode of Halo: Legends.


I think it is quite obvious Buck was quere. I mean, "women with balls"? Come on, how much more obvious can it get?


True, I had forgotten about that, guess he is into that kind of stuff...


I think predkiller got lost on the joke in the line.

Well, I'd think some people would rather a female Spartan not be as pretty as say Cal in legends :P.

Haha, certainly not to that extent. But Roosterteeth did a good job with the Freelancers and their appearances. Compared to Carolina, Kat looks worse than this.

You're right, it's not bad at all. It's bloody awful! I've seen piles of fecal matter that look more attractive than that pitiful excuse for a human being, my dislike for Reach has nothing to do with it. :L

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

What I don't get is that Spartan II women such as Kelly in the comic adoptions of the novels seem to, well feminine.

Shouldn't they be as muscular as the men Spartans such as John.

At least Miranda hasn't got a male's haircut and a face covered in scars. Tbh they're both ugly, placing one over the other as better looking doesn't mean much when they both look terrible.

I'm having trouble trying to reconcile your logic. So Kat gains attraction value, despite being one fugly mo-fo, because she's a Spartan? Or are you saying that her ugliness is justified because she's a Spartan? Either way, she's still Halo's manbearpig.

No, I'm just saying she isn't as bad as you're trying to make her out to be. That said, the scars don't really bug me too much because she is a Spartan, nor does the short hair. I guess I'm just not quite as turned off by it as you.

Short hair can be okay. And it's far easier to fit into the helm then long flowing hair (cough howdidcaldoit cough).

As for scars, same boat as tatoos. Some find them incredibly ugly/unattractive, others find them interesting/attractive :).

To me, Kat isn't the most beautiful woman out there, but she's a battle hardened Spartan. To expect a model IMO is just blah.

Edit: Diversity of opinions and attractions FTW.

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

The Joyeuse IP Formula

Really? Really?
The thing is, Kat isn't a piece of fanservice. She's been trained to be an emotionless supersoldier all her life. Prettying herself up to attract a mate isn't on her mind. Her tomboy look is part of who she is.

She's not pretty because she has short hair and scars on her face? Never mind everything she's got going for her that I just mentioned. No, no, no. She's too much of a tomboy and didn't stay in the castle, so she got a bunch of scars. Dear Lord almighty.

You're making it sound like a character's looks are the only indication of how valuable they are as a person.

I have scars on my face from skin cancer biopsies and my hair is incredibly short. Does that take away from who I am as a person? Does that make me an unattractive oaf?

It just boggles my mind that people label characters based on cosmetics. You don't have to want to "tap that," but I feel as though Kat and Miranda's characters are held in lesser value because they're not "attractive enough".

That's sad and incredibly shallow. Even worse, this harsh judgement is seen beyond the Halo fandom.

Miranda didn't seem to be a character who really did anything. Overall, she didn't do much and her looks didn't really add to that for me. That said, Chief did a ton in the games and we don't know what his face looks like yet I still don't care for him much as a character.

cortana 5

cortana 5 has the point guys.

There is surprisingly more to women than what you see at face value [oh really?]

If you're going to judge a games characters by how they dress or look, you're likely to miss a lot of very important information, like the entire story.

For instance, I find that Kat and Miranda's scars add character; It suggests that they've been places and done things, that they have lived a life and have stories to tell.

It makes them human.

And they're not that unattractive either.

Also, as a life lesson in general, if you're prepared to judge a woman solely on her looks, you're in for a world of hurt ;)

There is nothing wrong with the representations of the female characters in Halo.

Error 404:

Stupid idea in the first place. No.

Makes no sense, and 343 has no need to care.

They're just digital forms, though.

Ignoring whether it is indicative of unhealthy stereotypes of women, it shouldn't be considered some heinous crime to ask why a female character isn't attractive.

It's not healthy to expect them to be pretty, of course, but is it terrible? I don't think so.

It's just boys being boys. I like pretty girls. I like video games. Why's it so much worse that I like pretty girls in video games? Is that whole so much worse than sum of those two parts?

god no, the last thing Halo needs is to be transformed into the stereotypical male driven, -blam!- orientated type of game that plagues the current gaming market.

not all humans are perfect, far from it, would much rather have average looking people in games rather than artificial 'beauties' with quite obviously wrong proportions, Halo is supposed to be more 'hard' science fiction, not your typical anime, manga artists wet dream game. hell that is the main reason that Legends is an abomination, an anime SPARTAN-II, get the hell out!?
