That is, some servers allow female models, others are guys-only. Not sure how this approach would be received. From what I know of WWII, integration (both with females and black people) was a touchy issue, but tackled earnestly. Everyone knows about "Rosie the Riveter", Mata Hari, Anne Frank, and those all-black platoons (such as the Tuskeegee Airmen). The only problem I see with female personas in Battlefield is that there still are a lot of immature people, and they most undoubtedly outnumber the rest of us. The only teabagging I laughed at was with a walker on 2142. Are we ready for simulated sex and molestation? Interesting thought: would gamers go for a “women optional” atmosphere?

Joe has the Baroness who (to me at least) looks like a WW 2 nazi, and didn't they do a WW 2 era comic with giant tranforming robots a while back. I think even scarlet was in that one. I'm not saying they should put women in the game or even robots for that matter (heaven forbid) but is just a game and a fictional one too. Besides this game reminds me of the Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher comic and there is at least two girls in that one, one short cute american and one very exaggerated Nazi chick. There is even an animated short go check it out.

I bet there will be Women versions of the TF2 Chracters as wel one day...they probably already are done and waiting to miraculously appear after an Update. I was always wanting to see the original Enemy Territory Fortress characters be ripped from the Original Wolfenstein...The Sex Leather Chick with the Sten...the NAsty Monster dude with the Twin Cannons....all great Character classes built for Multi Play... Vwalla !!!

Actually i play TF2, and i though about a skin i saw recently. OK it's a skin, not allowing u to play on "pure" servers, but at least, this is the only female skin i found ! http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/screens/39114?img=http://image.hazardstrip.com/ss/srends/31004.jpg ^^ Hi there !
