FORUMS_

Might be something to do with a male-dominant, immature audience. I know in Zombies mode there's been Sarah Michelle Geller. And in Black Ops 2 there's a female character now. And in the Black Ops 2 trailer, the U.S. president is a female. So there's a few, but not in multiplayer. It's a shame too.

sure lets make special female characters because 0.000001% of COD gamers is female.

HAHAHAA you're funny

i love the idea of this, it makes alot of sense and wuld be cool to see.

Well in the picture for zombies released the person holding the gun and skull is clearly female.

I supposed theyd have to have women in the game if they made a kitchen map...

I would prefer the developers focus on enhancing gameplay rather than catering to a niche of the popluation.  I don't care one way or the other if my character is male or female, black or white, because the only time I'd see him/her is in someone else's killcam.

To the earlier poster about women in direct combat roles - the U.S. military has opened up a number of direct combat specialties to women in the past year.  I know a lot of women who earned the Combat Action Ribbon and Combat Action Badge for their service in Iraq and Afghanistan, so it's not a matter of sexism for me, but one of game design priorities.  Make a flawless game, then get into the asthetic details.

It would be cool if there was, I know few female players, they all see it as important thing to have a playable female character, so why not?

I belive there are plenty of girls/women playing games, but the ones who are bit shy or something rather don't go out yelling it to every player because mostly the players are guys and well, I've seen where that always leads, insults or then the guys are saying other stuff that makes everyone feel bit awkward

Great idea females!

I would love female characters in BOII, that way when I kill them, I can say, "you know where war never happens?"

"The kitchen."

Women are already in indirect combat postions, and as far as direct combat, it's not that far off...

42% of gamers are female, so that's not a problem. The only problem I see is Treyarch getting lazy and saying "Oh, it's too hard to adjust hitboxes for females." You don't need to adjust hitboxes and models. The uniforms and models shown by basic soldiers in the trailer look unisex, and since most of the characters had on masks, just add female voices.

Like for instance, you can choose whether or not you'll hear "COVER ME I'M RELOADING" in a female or male voice in the settings.

I'd like to, but females aren't allowed into pretty much any of the multiplayer factions that have real-life counterparts that you play as:

SAS,

MARSOC,

Delta-force,

Navy SEALS,

Rangers,

MACV-SOG,

Spetsnaz,

Presumably any Task Force,

And what about the women being less bulky than their male counterparts in-game, meaning a smaller target?

Too much aggro' for 3arc to keep a minority of female gamers slightly pleased.
