I don't ever play a female toon in games where only one toon is selectable (Unless it is forced by some preset mechanic), especially in MMO's because I feel it is deceptive. I think this is mainly because my manners towards females is always that of a southern gentlemen and are lost efforts when a guy is behind the wheel of a female toon. In this game you have a group of troops that are randomly recruited as both male and female. Helen Smith there just turned out to be my first colonel and first psy ops capable unit. This was posted to show that trooper off.

As a gamer chick, I find it frustrating that all my guy gamer friends play femme toons. :P
