The NS2 marines are from the (our) future so they are made to look like a blend of all races (since in the end earth turns into a multi racial FCKFEST, atleast in the long run).
So they are not white or black or asian, they are somewhere in between.
I am sure i red this somewhere some time anyway.
I mean, its great that you got female soldiers in the game and all that but not every marine is Caucasian.
Oh come on now, did we really need to have one of these threads. #-o
It's a scifi! How the hell do you know what race they should be!?
It's okay to put gender race whatever equality in a game for the sake of it. It's okay to ask for it. But it's not okay to whine about the lack of it, because it's not what the game is about.
Edit: P.S. I want a lizard-race marine. We all know the reptilians wearing human suits will take over the world in the future.
Welp, should have seen this one coming, UWE went out of their way with the female marine because their fan base wanted it. Since it was female, if they don't add in asian/black marines I guess they're racist now right?

Don't forget insensitive to the disabled when we don't have one legged or deaf or blind marines...
Marine taunts are in a black mans voice... if that helps.
Plus it does make sense that many hundreds of years on the future we will all look more similar. People being crammed into spaceships and colonies would make this even more likely.

Need a wheelchair marine, most of the marines I command seem unable to walk anyway.

No, disabled marines MUST play commander; or get a free EXO.
Yeah I was reminiscing the other day about the black marine from NS1. It would be cool to have him back, complete with maybe his own taunts/voice commands.
Put this as part of the reinforcement program. I'd pay $20 for the black marine.

Also, they're clearly discriminating puppies. I mean... did you see a single puppy in this game? In the whole game? No?! Coincidence?!?! I think not!!!

There's nothing racist about the Kharaa disliking chinese or mexican food, maybe they're picky?
I don't really see the need for it, tbh....but a quick and easy patch would be accent voice packs - so an asian voice pack, crisp british accent, texas cowboy, black-rapper voice pack...I'd pay $$$ to sound like Samuel L Jackson. hehe. Applicable for females too.

Yeah, I'd go for a voice pack DLC too. Just as long as it didn't get too silly.
While they're at it, I insist they spend all their available resources on recording additional sound assets with multiple accents. Why must all marines sound like Americans? This is an outrage!
Seriously dude, while I see what you're trying to say, there really are more pressing issues to address at the moment, than a barely visible piece of "skin" sticking out form under a helmet.
Ups, already been said.
Long story short, while a nice touch, it's something that would be barely noticeable and there really are some fairly big issues that need addressing right now (like performance). Plus, I'm sure there are mods out there that already do this kind of thing.
By and large I don't need to be any color or sex to feel comfortable with a game. If the game dev intends to create only one unit to represent all the human players then I won't make waves. Likewise if they wish to represent all colors and sexes in their game it's their choice. What I can never understand is why someone who's playing the game can't ignore what their avatar looks like. I will just as soon accept being a woman as be an Italian in a game. I do not feel repressed or unrepresented by those images because that's not what many games are about.
The arguments for having those choices make sense when the game has a high degree of choice and it's character malleable. The Narrative based game sort of demands the player be and accept what they are born into.
I'd leave it to the dev entirely on this though. I can't view my self and any sex or regional aspect I appear as is only appreciated (and just as easily ignored) by the alien team.

Like the second poster said, do you really think the races as they are now will be the same hundreds of years into the future?
Better question, do you think that the races today are the same as the races from 3000 years ago?
Things change, including race. It's one of the reasons why putting emphasis on race rather than culture is ridiculously stupid.

it was just a skin?
would be more interesting if they would have some stat better and some other stat worse then the men

The clone company Must be running a special on White Marines right now...
So it's the same Marines every time bros, just like how the aliwins recycle, so does the TSF.
And there goes another great potential revenue generating income for UWE down the drain.
They would catch more flak for trying to sell a black marine then just not having one at all.
Here is the actual comparison with mine at the bottom and original on top:
