Yea the girls voice is a great idea so says my sister. She says she'll be very happy if you implament the voice. I'm still waiting for the damn magizine to come out everyday I work I run over to the mag racks to see if it's poped up. :D

I'd use the female Spartan voice if it were an option. A female spartan model (with armor boobs), not so much. Although that would probably rob KP of several months' worth of happy dreams.

Personally, especially because I am a girl, the woman voice would be awesome, but frankly I dont think it would be that big of a deal to put the voice in. Im sure Bungie is trying to make the game not as bias I guess you could say, but seriousely what is a voice going to do, wahooo?

No, what I dont think Bungie knows is that every girl I have ever played with, and even some guys, think they should make a chick spartan, at least for Xbox Live. We havnt heard anything about that topic, and it really dissapoints us. No, the spartan doesnt have to have huge boobs and a tiny little body with a huge behind, and it shouldnt, but at least have a body as to where you can tell its a girl, like in other video games with girls in it.

Female Spartans are not discernible from male Spartans when in their armor. There is precedent for this in both the books and even in DOA4. Nicole is obviously a girl but you couldn't really tell by looking.

Not disappointing at all whoever said that. This update has me all excited and tingly inside. I'm gonna try and get Ghosts of Onyx soon so I can finally finish the series. And as for the playlists... I hope they don't take out BTB skirmish.. its good.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Staying true to the story is something that we all should respect and appreciate. That being said, the human form, male and female varies. Granted, a female spartan form should not look like something out of an anime, but come on. The armor is going to fit a little differently for each person that puts it on. I find it a bit of a strech to think that every spartan came out of the program at seven feet tall with matching frames. Say that the MC and Linda were to stand next to eachother, would Linda's outline not appear slightly leaner? Some one who knew nothing of spartans would not know the difference, but other spartans would be able to venture a pretty good guess based on the bulk.

If there is a female voice then does this mean that there will be a female spartan in the campaign? No other Spartan survived the fall of Reach (read the book), so where the heck did she come from if she exists?

Nice update, but please(and i'm not trying to be mean/rude): don't give a playlist update unless it includes the bringing back of 1v1 or CLAN MATCH. These new unranked gametypes are fun, and Team SWAT is a blast, but clanmatch was the sole purpose of clans in the firstplace, right? Nowadays, clans are rotting in the back of the halo universe as School Clans, or Production Clans (as myself is in). In my point of view, having clans with no clanmatch is a torture Ninja is putting on the players of Halo 2 Xbox live. Everytime I look at my clan list, i sigh and wonder where that little level at the top right of the screen went.
Anyways, solid update and hope to see some massivly informitive tidbits of Halo 3 next week!

I have to agree with Direkitten that a female spartan voice in the stories is not really what we would be jumping for. We love the masterchief and don't mind playing as him through campain.
Having a female spartan on multiplayer would be neat. Even though it would cause alot of confusion (guys picking a female spartan and pretending to be one ...Wishfull thinking).
But I do know some girls who are more feministic than me and would die to play as a female on Halo.
It would always be a plus, an extra. Like, you can decide to play as a female or male. So it is a win-win .
But I soooo totally agree on the strong voice. If she would have the voice of a Barbie no one'd take her serious. Covenant and Flood would just laugh at her and wonder why she wouldn't pound them KO with her pink purse. She has to have a strong voicce that is yet female but that expresses and authority and determination. I dunno, but when I say strong woman I always have to think of Lara Croft from Tombraider III . Strong, sensual and kicking ass voice. But I soooo woul NOT like to see a Lara Croft spartan walking around. Just average muscled female version of a spartan will do for me and will satisfy more girls than a skinny spartan you can pull through the eye of a needle.
Make her the new role model for girls ;)
