Miss Pavlichenko She was one of the most successful snipers in history and by extension one of history's greatest soldiers. Yes snipers are known to be a lttile 'limp wristed' all that playing with there 'scope' most likely. Hardley reinforces your idea females make good front line troops. They just aren't physically strong enough to carry the immense weight of equipment and perform to the physical abilties a man can achieve.. Sorry to break the bad news to you.. I'm sure it will not divert your path of 'feminism' failing to appreciate and aknowledge the beauty and varaiance between the sexes.
Women make excellent pilots as well, consistently scoring higher than their male counter parts in many area's. So perhaps you'll see a woman piloting your drop ship, covering your ass while you off load, or perhaps driving everything from a scout car to a heavy tank... which means it would probably be a bad idea to make the obvious "women driver" wise cracks until you are safely back in the lobby after a match.

So... you'd rather have a guy watching your ass?
No problem, it's a valid lifestyle choice.

I should have my avatar put a shirt on lest he overexcite himself and watch a brother's ass.
Me thinks you protesteth too much.

I'd be all for a gender option that doesn't change a damn thing in the game, if only to give the finger to ridiculous gender caricatures in games.
This would likely be the case.
In powered battle armor the difference in mere human physical strength would probably be negligible at best.

Snipers being "limp wristed"? Do you actually read the garbage you spew before you post or are you just a bad troll that thinks misogyny is funny. Yeah, in our natural un-augmented states, women have less overall muscle mass. Given that in most combat cases people aren't massacring each other with melee weapons now or in the eve universe I scarcely see the relevance. I'm not going to say women cant fight but physical strength has everything to do with modern combat, most women would struggle to carry the huge weight of all the crap a soldier has to carry for hour after hour in all sorts of conditions, many men couldn't cope either.
Queue the powered battle armor... again...
