Male or Female?

Making the assumption that the majority of PlanetSide players are male, what will you play as in PlanetSide 2? There are many reasons why males play female characters in MMOs. Post yours for why you pick male or female.

I always like to mix it up a bit.

My main is typically male, while my alts are generally female.

In RPGs I tend to take a male first then alternate male/female. On PS2 though I think I'll stick with a male avatar considering it's a FPS.

I hope they don't give females a smaller hitbox or increased speed. Some games have done that.

Females will be the same size, and men are faster than women anyway so that wouldn't even make sense, that last part.

I will play both. I highly enjoy playing female characters, (despite the fact that I am a male; it just seems oftentimes that female characters have more finesse, and I'm not a "brute force" type of person) but will probably have at least one male character as well. At least in this game people can't make fun of me because they think I'm attracted to my character; this is a first person game, and as such I'll be watching the battlefield and not my avatar.

I abhor any game that gives a gender bonus. People should be able to switch gender of their own accord, without a special incentive that makes all the min/maxers want to play one specifically. I'm pretty sure the devs are smarter than that though

Intriguing idea

I usually play women in 3rd person games cos it's nicer to look at. As this is a 1st person though I will be playing a bad ass sneaky ninja dude.

The poll is biased against transgendered people. Stupid bigots.

HAHAHA kidding obviously. Just wanted to see what it was like to act like a dumb politically correct activist.

SuperMorto · 2012-03-06, 12:13 PM

This all depends on 1 major fact. If they have tight asses I will defo do a few babes!

Other than that no, but yes, but no.

Psiclone... what are you doing on these forums man... I havent seen you in ages. Its Shaddaddy =P

LZachariah · 2012-03-06, 12:14 PM

I'm male, so I play a male (in all my computer games that give me freedom of character creation, I make an avatar of my own self). However, I do have 2-3 hot lady friends who can't wait to throw down for Planetside 2, and they'll be playing female avatars.

This game will ROCKKKK
