Hey all,

I know a lot of people are excited about Aliens Colonial Marines on this forum.

Gearbox said that there will be no playable female marines in multiplayer, only in singleplayer. This game wants to be the true sequel to Aliens, and I can totally respect that. The thing is that Aliens is all about badass women. Vasquez, Ferro, Ripley, even Alien Resurrection had Call. Maybe if enough of us asks nicely we can get female characters in multiplayer, carry on the spirit of the Alien series.

Please sign if you want to play as a female marine!

You do know what MMORPG means don't you?

Many Men Online Role Playing Girls. =P This is like the whole Killing Floor female skin. I can already think of on ligit reason why it's not in multiplayer, weak but legit.

Haha that's pretty good.

Isn't the Killing Floor skin disc only? Otherwise it needs to be bought as DLC?

As for the non multiplayer reason, what do you have in mind?

Nice!

KF female skin will be DLC eventually.

My point being, if you you were not given a choice of skin, no one would even bat an eyelid. Provide the smallest amount choice and suddenly people want every option covered.

And as games like Brink or TF2 have shown, customisation just ruins visual design. Making it harder to identify what people are.

Ok so ACM is more co-op, but it's going to be a given that you are going to be playing mostly in the dark and/or not looking much at the other marines (who I might add are wearing a uniform), so who gives a shit what you look like, or what gender your char is. It doesn't effect gameplay so why have it in the first place?
