In the new rainbow six conceptual beta trailer demo it was swat people trying to save a hostage from some criminals. The hostage is female.

I'd like a WW1 shooter to be entirely about a crazy group of French guys who get outrageous drunk and drive an armored truck or some sort of tank-like thing around every major battle field for awhile, shooting at guys and singing uproarious patriotic French songs, and instead of a health meter you have a wine bottle which steadily goes down, so you tend to target officers on the battlefield and hold them up for booze before roaring off again.

It all ends with you guys taking over a winery and defending it from wave upon wave of German soldiers, until there's a great big "last showdown" finale as the entire ware machine surges in to destroy a single winery, all while a voices sing La Marseillaise in voices that grow louder than the guns and the bombs and the tanks and the last shot of it all is a wine glass shattering on the floor

Rainbow 6: Siege had a helpless woman hostage as the 'flag' in a fight between the the terrorists/counterterrorists in a 5 on 5 match.

Eh, they'd have to gamify it a hell of a lot, but that's pretty much what they've already done for WW2 and the modern day.

the thing about ww1 mods/games i've played is that no one ever mans the machine guns because they just get pixel sniped, so you never really get an experience resembling the real thing, just skirmishes between bolt action riflemen in a moonscape

And then kids will see Lara kill countless men with her bow and arrow and go around assuming all women are violent killing machines who will kill any man on sight with no hesitation. There should just be no women at all in video games so the kids don't get confused.

Actually, that's a terrible idea, because then that only makes it even more obvious that Women are worthless. They're so worthless they're not into any game.

The solution is to not have gender in media, period.

It would probably be smart to wait and be sure hostages aren't just "totally randomly generated NPC" that can be either male or female before getting all up in arms about it but video games are serious business and all

As I've said before, I don't care, I'm just not going to buy it. Also :lol: at you calling that fake as hell trailer that didn't contain a single minute of real gameplay footage a "fantastic looking game."
