Yeah i know blah

But i've been reading every bit of info and all am seeing is 200 pound males !

So CCP Will there be female characters for dust?

Stock clones brah, read the chronicles

They may be female before they become clone soldiers but once they get mind transferred once, it's all stock clones

Frankly for all we know dusk soldiers don't even have a gender as they are essentially modified clones bred for the battlefield.
hence masculine traits should be prevalent as it makes more sense in that perspective.

Female attributes would be better though for stealth, more light and limber.

Yay, specially wearing heavy armor and a shield generator as without them the very backlash of their weapons could kill them...

Frankly, the meat golems make more sense. Maybe they can swtich between "battle clone" and a "civilian clone", though...

If you're stealth then why are you wearing heavy armor in the first place? Isn't that counter intuitive tot he whole "light and agile" thing?

And who said the needed to be using a big AR? Couldn't they use a light carbine or SMG with a silenced pistol as back up?

(...)The power of these guns would tear apart a modern day battlefield. In DUST 514 the only way your mercenary can survive the power of these weapons is due to the advanced shielding and armor of the dropsuits they wear. Without them, simply firing these weapons would severely injure or even kill you!

Frankly, it could be a pair of midgets in that armour, and nobody would be any the wiser.

BTW, just read the blog on dropsuits. If i was on FPS games, I would be planing to get a used PS3 to play that game. It's EVE on the ground...

For those of you who think women can't be soldiers and particularly ground combat soldiers, I'd like to direct you to this historical example. 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.

It's great to see all the homophobes, misogynists and bigoted evospsych assholes come right out of the woodwork in these here forums.

In combat I want a brother watching my back, not a girlfriend watching my finely cloned arse.

It's great to see all the homophobes, misogynists and bigoted evospsych assholes come right out of the woodwork in these here forums. 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.

Chick soldiers in thong armour.

I don't think we'll see any kind of females on the battleground.

The so called "soldiers" will just be stock clones created purely for the purpose of getting down there, getting killed and killing. After they are used, considering we, DEMIGODS (from humans perspective) just dropped an entire army for the equivalent of our 20 minute grind... Well, I think we leave them there to rot and the mind goes back to the rightfull owner.

Those are like pvp jump clones, stripped of everything unnecessary, hair, genitals, etc.

Remember, we are their lords and masters, we throw money beyond their recognition... You remember that future of eve vid? A couple mil for a top-of-the-line tank? 50 mil will get you an entire well equipped unit of soldiers, with guns, tanks, jets, choppers, etc.

Don't expect any more from the land clones - they are just meat. The equipment MAYBE we will salvage.

You will see boobs in stations - that I assure you ^^

So... you'd rather have a guy watching your ass?

Dood, you're in Narnia if that's what you read.

Yeah i know blah

I'm sure this isn't the only case where what he says and what he does differs. Totally agreed Prof. Alphane.

I should have my avatar put a shirt on lest he overexcite himself and watch a brother's ass.

Looking through all the comments and not even one regarding how a Female Dustie will potentially have an advantage due to their smaller avatar profile on the battlefield. Advantages however small will be used in any competitive environment.

Hell, I'd roll a one legged midget if I thought it would give me an edge in Dust514.

Combat armor comes in one model: human. There is no form-fitting sexy version designed to accent a woman's figure (and I think you'd find that female soldiers don't have the kind of figure that games tend to put forward as being what a woman looks like).

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.

Science fiction.
Space.
Planets.

Samus Aran ?

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...

you mean it took 2 yrs to render using the current WIS?

Don't know if powered armour really works as an explanation for me, a suit that allowed you too lift an extra 500 lbs would still be better operated by someone basically stronger.

I disagree, the whole point of a powered exoskeleton is to give you that strength, it basically makes everything you pick up light as a feather. What you really need is endurance, to be able to keep on moving over and over again.

It's definitely not science fiction.

I'd disagree, to my mind the exoskelton is what allows allows you to carry the 1000lbs armour plating , and the 250lb rifle, doesn't nesacarily mean it's going to feel 'light as a feather' cos if it did they'd likely bolt more bits on to maximise it's potential.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

She took down 36 other snipers. Not bad.


Too bad she did it for a crap cause, but then the snipers she took out were also doing what they were doing for a crap cause too.


Real life is kind of like 0.0.

Females do war?

Yes, but you've already established yourself as an idiot and bigot earlier in this thread so you're lack of understanding in regards to anything is understandable.

Please video tape telling that to this woman.
