im pretty sure my weapon models 100% of the time use white hands, although the marines seem to have random colored faces.
id like to see some MORE variation, one that sticks with you when you join a server, so i could tell at a glance which marine was which. (note to self, dont try to rush the tall skinny marine, cuz he has awesome aim)

Well gee, he's right folks! Let's all clap shall we? Now, in the world of <b>fiction</b> we can say whatever the hell we want. i.e. In the FUTURE, who's to say a woman wouldn't make as good a soldier? It's just strikes me as funny that you're trying to compare a modern day armed forces situation to a completly fictitious futuristic game. To me it would seem that the marines in NS are basically mobile turrets; does it REALLY matter if one of them can SLIGHTLY outclass another at the Olympics? You're dealing with hunks of meat with guns; either sex in this scenario would work perfectly fine. So take your "realism" ticket somewhere else and if you get "stuck" with a female model kick back, request a hmg in your cute new voice and ask for designer heavy armour <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Nah, I understand that. The only point I'm making is, most fictional settings draw their ability for you to relate to them, by maintaining real life balances & equalities. The TSA are pictured as marines, marines are more commonly men, hence, having more men maintains the image of them being marine-like, thus helping our (Cinematic moment) 'Suspension of disbelief'.
Personally, I couldn't care less, but it's worth noting. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Point taken, but who didn't love Vasquez from "Aliens" ?
Just because today women don't play a major part in the armed forces doesn't mean this mod can't have them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
And besides, I do notice that gamers tend to like playing as chicks. Play your average Massively Online Multiplayer RPG and you'll see what I mean.
