@xsonicchaos the complete lack of female representation/presence in the online gaming community, and that's just how I'm wording it for now, I don't literally mean any one female gamer or character representing them as a whole. I hear some of the things men say to woman online, so Smokescreen's comment took me that direction.

@FireVixen @Smokescreened84 @Raelador21 And there need to be more like you is all I'm saying.

@calvinsora @Smokescreened84 @Raelador21 I'm not sure what you're implying. Avoiding the issue doesn't make it go away or help solve it and this is definitely one of those things that will not solve itself.

@Smokescreened84 @Raelador21 That's pretty weak to be completely honest with you, and I'm a little disappointed to read that, because if 47% of gamers are women over the age of 18 you guys have done a horrible job at making your presence felt and aren't speaking up or representing yourselves by hiding behind male personas.

@PeterDuck You really think you're on to something here don't you? I mean really, WTF are you going on about? I feel like you're trying to reply to other people in replying to me. I never suggested you experience being in the military first hand or even implied. Then you go on again mentioning foreign policy and now bring up 9-11 as if the two couldn't be further from my mind. I'm sure there are people eagerly joining the Army that don't know basic historical facts, because plenty people join up not knowing what's going on right now. I certainly wasn't making a case for those people was I? PS: I NEVER would have guessed the soldiers in Afghanistan wouldn't be there otherwise not for joining the military. I completely missed that when I said that is exactly the reason I wasn't there myself. Good show moron.

@PeterDuck I'm not going to argue with you, especially in this space, about the motivations behind the men and women who enlist in the (U.S.) military. I don't need to defend their decision to volunteer. For one, it's not my place to judge them, and at the end of the day they're doing me a service, because my ass isn't being deployed to Afghanistan, but I'd truly be an idiot to sit here and try to justify something like that to you, I REALLY would.

@PeterDuck Take it from someone who knows U.S. troops, or just someone who doesn't make a habit of generalizing, you sir, are a complete idiot.

What Tom is looking for can definitely be done in the single player experience (Brothers in Arms immediately comes to mind), but I have no clue why he's going on about regenerating health and respawning in multiplayer. It just doesn't make any sense. Greg was right in emphasizing that Warfighter is a first-person shooter, because that's simply what Warfighter has to be FIRST, before anything! Before authenticity, before respect, before it's even Medal of Honor, it's a First-Person Shooter (first), It's a video game (first). Those two things (being an FPS, being a video game) take precedence over Tom's definition of authenticity because those two things directly affect gameplay. Tom's definition would seem to defeat the entire purpose of playing multiplayer. Danger Close choosing to create a head shot counter isn't a reflection of their respect for the troops, enemies, human life, war or authenticity. It's a reflection of the genre, the players, and the stat tracking/achievements they are likely to be interested in, in a first-person shooter. Everything Tom says is completely irrelevant to making the game a good video game or good first-person shooter, he pretty much admits this in saying it would have been okay for their game to not have been fun at all to fit only Tom's standards of brilliance.

Horizon is looking great. It still looks very Forza and if the cars still feel like Forza, just in an open world setting, with typical action race game attributes then so be it. I rather that than the Test Drive and NFS games I didn't like in the past.

I'm going to try my hand at this one, I don't really know why, so I'm just going to give all credit to Snoop.
