Awaiting Orders – Building More Female Representation in Shooters

For years, gamers and developers alike have argued back and forth about creating playable women characters in first-person shooters. Some video game franchises – such as Call of Duty and Killing Floor – have been quicker to add women player characters, while others have lagged behind.

why does it matter your going to be shooting and blowing shit up anyways no matter the gender.

Over 30% of players in FPS are women? Interesting. Anyway, does this mean BF:Hardline will feature female cops and robbers too?

Are you crazy? That would be gender-o-phobic! Women can't be portrayd negatively, that would be sexist!

Women are 30% of the FPS crowd? How was that number researched? Is it even true? In what country? Anyway, in a FPS I couldn't give a flying fuck about the gender of the character. All I care about there is killing the other team and doing that makes the question whether my character is wearing panties or boxers totally irrelevant.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
