The thread here is asking that there be female soldiers which was highly uncommon. Catering to the notion that “Battlefield needs to get with the times” and allow male/female soldiers to play as is great! Just not for this setting or period. > > Really because that not at all how OP justified. Using science fiction, then quote article to highlight the role a few women played in WW1. Based on the logic of OP we should have child soldiers too. I used star wars as an example, as people claim to have morals saying they don’t want to shoot women in a game, when clearly it has been done before ---

Besides being “politically correct” and for some, a non-discriminating feature, what does the presence of female characters in an online FPS actually add to the game? ---

I wish we wouldn’t rewrite history just so it complies with the contemporary political correctness agenda. I don’t think women should be included in the game because the women involved in front line combat during WWI across all factions made up a tiny proportion of the soldiers involved and so it not really representative. There is actually a bigger argument to include child soldiers as some estimates put at least 250,000 child soldiers serving in the British army - but I understand that there might be some moral issues about doing such a thing xD ---

Only way there could/should be women in this game is if it’s part of the campaign as there was pretty much no women in the war except for (as someone else posted)…like one Russian platoon…and like one Navy chick. That’d be the only way it would work/make sense. It wouldn’t be a HUGE deal to me/game breaking if they DID put them in (I’d still buy it)…but it would be a quite annoying. I can handle a small change in a guns scope that’s not “historical” but changing the people fighting in the war would be pretty hard to “suspend my disbelief” for. ---

If they are limited to a specific number then i’m all for it ---

You start out saying you don’t want women in the game because of political correctness, but not including children because political correctness is fine? I don’t want women in the game because it would detract from the experience of playing a ww1 game - for example fighting in the trenches turning the corner and being killed by a women soldier. Not including children wouldn’t bother me because not seeing them is not going to distort the ww1 experience. By seeing something (i.e. women soldiers) that wasn’t there would. Personally I wouldn’t care if they did include children, it would be representative and would draw attention to this much neglected aspect of ww1. However I understand that they would never include it because some would find it distasteful. ---

The clergy of some religions, military front line service during war and (mostly) male only FPS online characters, can be regarded as some of the last man-only bastions. Wondering if we should keep it that way. Female figures and feminine voices on the real or virtual battlefield would be kind of “distracting” for many of us. I’m sure many female gamers don’t mind playing as a “man” in FPS. ---

As long as there were no differences in the size of the hitbox. Otherwise every player who looks for even the smallest advantage will chose to be female. Remember Oddjob in goldeneye64 multiplayer… ---
