In Response To: Re: Gender in Halo 2 (response to DanteThePoet) LO (RVideo)


: Ive never been in the military, much less in real combat. I could imagine,
: however, that during times of real combat, you know, the kind where you
: could be dead 3 minutes from now, that the mindset of 'we got a job to do'
: probably takes a mental front seat over and above procreation.
: I remember somewhere in my dusted and ancient past, learning about the mind's
: hierarchy of needs. (Immediate) Survival first, food, shelter, and so on.
: Flirting comes much later only when the previous primitive needs are not
: in immediate jeopardy.

: We never rly saw any female marines at ease, such as in a rec room. Thus,
: there was apparently no mechanism for 'character building' to see what
: they may be like, in say, non combat conditions.

: Let's face it. If you're entire planet is under immediate threat from wierd
: looking aliens in technologically superior machinery, the last thing you
: are going to think about is chasing tail.

: As I said, I have no military experience, but I might suppose that,
: hypothetically, if you were to 'hit on' a female during times of active
: combat, that you are not only putting yourself at risk of dying, you are
: risking your whole squads integrity as well.

: There may be arguable times in Campaign (such as in the elevator) where you
: seem to not be in immediate jeopardy, but shouldnt you always stay frosty,
: since the elevators ride will probably end soon?

: I believe that they scripted their roles well. The only suggestion would be a
: little more character building, in particular, during non-combat portions
: of campaign, if any.

: Think of it this way: Say one of the female marines' lines were flirty. Would
: that be the logical choice? Would anyone do that in REAL combat? Or would
: it make the game seem campy and poorly written?

I agree, I've never been in combat but I believe if someone is shooting at me and trying to kill me, sex would be the last thing on my mind right then. You could probably put me next to 10 beautiful girls in bikini's and have aliens trying to kill me and I wouldn't give the girls a second thought. Heck if someone is trying to punch me or just slightly maim me they get my full attention.
