Halo 3 Might Get a Feminine Touch

When you are playing Halo 3 next year and find yourself getting spanked by a Spartan with a high pitched voice, it might not be a 9 year old whose parents ignored the ESRB rating.  If Bungie gets enough support for the idea, there might be a woman on the other end of that man cannon.

Bungie's official blog has put out a call to all girl gamers to see if there is enough support for a female avatar creation feature in Halo 3.  The female Spartan would not just look like a woman, but also sound like one.  According to the blog, a voice actress would be selected to let the character shout and grunt like a lady.

Here is what they had to say:

Hey, ladies. Yeah, I’m talking to you, ladies. It has come to my attention that a significant chunk of our playership is female. I myself am constantly pooned and then humped by ladies. That is not sexy like it sounds, btw. It’s humiliating. Anyway, one of the things we’re looking at for Halo 3 multiplayer (Master Chief is all man) is adding a female voice to the Spartan character should you choose it as part of your custom character.

If we do it, it won’t be comical, stereotypical or insulting – we’ll pick a great, strong female actress who can pull off bloodcurdling death cries and rattles. And we’re not promising anything, we’re just trying to gauge interest. If you girls think it would be cool, then comment in the forums, spam me with PMs or start a petition on your own sites and forums. Then we’ll have to listen. If you think it’s pointless and patronizing and you’re happy just being a dude, then say so.

Just in case you hate the idea and are a male type person, Bungie has asked you not respond to them:

If you ARE a dude, we don’t care what you think, because we’re not asking you. Anyone who says anything stupid or sexist in the discussion forum will be megabanned.
