Why do some guys use female spartans? Usually you would think it's be the girls who'd use them. Just gimme your thoughts. Oh, and don't say that it's only because they're smaller targets, because they're not. The hitboxes are the same.

Two makes there more than speakers.

Sprint?
Psychological reasoning's?
They want to?
Belief in smaller hitbox's?

Always up for REACH customs!

Maybe because I like listening to a girl breathing heavy when I sprint.

Maybe they just like smaller spartans..

I like the smaller frame.


I hate being a character in a video game that's bulky.

I hate the bulkiness of the male Spartan. The real question is why do you care what people do?

I laugh at kids who believe that.

I remember one claiming using the female model was cheating lol.

The only way the hitbox would save you is by splash damage. Anyways I want to see female elites...

Spartan's aren't that bulky (unless you dress bulky). You should see the guys from GoW.

Even though the hitboxes are the same, it might psych out some people into thinking I'm a smaller target.

I have heard some people use them for teammate recognition. If you hear a male spartan sprinting nearby, it's not your teammate.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

I mostly just use it because I've found that it tends to throw off some peoples aim, because they have to adjust more, since they think the hitbox is smaller.

Granted, that works on bad people, not good people, so it's not a big advantage. As well, I just prefer the look of the character model.

I've used it like that. I originally chose it because I think the player model looks better with the armor pieces I chose, and that when I sprint I'd rather not sound like I'm a 400 pound obese man -blam!-ing.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

My Youtube channel, i post Halo gameplays and clips. :)

The sprint is quieter, and i wear a headset so a very loud sprint would make me feel so vulnerable. Also it's a smaller frame, same hitbox but maybe the smaller frame deters people to take difficult shots.

My old clan, YOLO, had everyone set themselves to female for ~teammate recognition~. I quit anyway, after figuring outm it was a UK clan.
