"Call of Duty"'s First Ever Female Character, Erin Cahill Talks About Her Role

Complex: "There's never really been a female character in a Call of Duty game before. We've no idea why that is, and neither does Erin Cahill, the actress who'll be playing the first-ever female CoD character in Black Ops 2."

[Trenta27]

First ever? O.O

[nutcrackr]

Uh wasn't there a female Russian soldier in Call of Duty 2?

[Swiggins]

Sarah Michelle Geller was in CoD:BO

There was a Female Cobra Pilot in CoD4

This making a big deal about the "first" female character is lunacy.

[rpd123]

I think they mean first playable character. Otherwise, they just went full retard.

[stage88]

Sarah Michelle Gellar was/is playable.

[rpd123]

@stage88

Well then they definitely went full retard.

[FarCryLover182]

Haha, you played as Sarah Michelle Gellar, but when you did the "dive" to the ground, you made the default male grunt sound.

[Oldman100]

The first ever playable female character was Tanya Pavelovna from Call of Duty: Finest Hour.

"Can you reveal anything about her personality? What is she like?"

"You'll want her around in a sticky situation. I'll just put it that way."

Yes, yes I will.

[vortis]

LOL...

Especially if you caused the sticky situation.

[KangarooSam]

I love how most of these comments are just dirty. But really, what do you expect posting her picture on a gaming site haha.

[sdozzo]

Eh, why not.

[stuntman_mike]

will we be able to put our pistol in her weapon slot??

[Bumpmapping]

Female lead for MOH3 confirmed!

[bioflex]

"There's never really been a female character in a Call of Duty game before. We've no idea why that is"

Women weren't allowed in the military in WWII. That covers the first 3. Until earlier this year, women were not legally allowed to be in combat units in the US. In the UK they still can't be deployed in combat units. They still see combat, but they're not supposed to. Women also just went on spec ops missions for the first time in 2011. My point is that wars have always been primarily fought by men and that's just beginning to change.

Except in CoD2 there were female soldiers on the Soviet faction. Communism encourages gender equality.

[Crater]

I can't believe that they did not say that she played the role as Jen, the pink time force ranger from power rangers time force.

[sonicsidewinder]

TIME FORCE! TIME FORCE!

[Hazmat13]

they need like female avatars on BO2 online that would be new.

[badvlad]

I want to fist her forever
