Just because there were other issues it doesn't mean that people can't ask for other improvements. That was the point of the beta, to give feedback about everything, not just part of it.Originally Posted by bn38416 Go to original post
A braid would be nice.
Military standards for females do not require them to have short or shorn haircuts. Shoulder-length, in a clean, kept manner, possibly tied away if in dress uniform, is acceptable in almost every branch of military in the world.
To be fair, I'm not sure how a Tier One operator would feel about having longer hair, even shoulder-length, while trying to do their job. I grew my hair out once when I was in my 20's (don't ask me why; all I can tell you is for whatever reason, at the time, I thought it was a good idea.) I got a job doing carpentry work, and it took me all of one day to figure out I was getting a haircut when I got off work.
Part of being a Tier 1 operator is being able to blend in with the indiginous population, hence why the growing of beards is more relaxed. Part of this should be the ability for women to have more feminine haircuts not just skin head types. An example of this would be women from the 14 Intelligence Company working side by side with the SAS in Northern Ireland, who had to blend in with the Northern Ireland populace, or the tier1 male operators working in Syria with the rebels
First of all the problems with the game at the moment should far outweigh the cosmetic issues with Male or Female Operators.
However, since this topic has been brought up and the debate over what is functional, what is within regulation and or what would be appropriate here we are.
I would like to refer you to the images of the women who recently completed Ranger School. Also, women HAVE completed the selection process albeit not advanced onto further processing. We won't even get into Civil Affairs or PSYOPs members.
I think you'll be deflated if not exasperated at the lack of pony tail, braids or female hair styles that I am sure you are hoping will bring about a more eye catching or appealing character.
This isn't SIMs Tactical, Tomb Raider SpecOPs or IMVU. (I have 2 daughters and oh boy...) Swamp phase, (Close to some of the areas you see I Breakpoint) Jungle Phase, Arctic Operations and just overall manageability in an operational environment will present the hair styles you see on the woman I have referred to.
So let me get this straight, in a game where you have a Ghost with a long beard wearing a bright red t-shirt, another one with a bright orange one and one with a ponytail (a style we already have in the game) you draw the line at having a few more feminine/longer hair options? It was stated in the last game that Ghosts have more leeway in what they wear. Midas had a pony tail.Originally Posted by MDR-14 Go to original post

How is that even relevant?Originally Posted by MDR-14 Go to original post
Ultimate Fail.
The male hair styles you mention are options you the player select. Even Holt has a shaved head and face laying on a cot. Why I don't know. I grow a beard and my hair gets longer but never long enough for a pony tail while in uniform and I don't know to many guys that have enough time to get hair pony tail long even upon returning to their joint bases.
I never select a hairstyle with a ponytail as it doesn't pass the smell test.
That is a preference for the gamer who wants to look, Bad****" and well good for you. My beard grows faster than the hair on my head.
How is it relevant? We have several women in our club. I have trained male and female troops all over the world American and foreign and I can tell you by the time American women finish their training they almost unanimously select shorter haircuts/styles.
Foreign fighters, (Kurds for example) wear longer hairstyles,
I can tell you I have met 5 women in my 27 years of doing this who could have been or can be serious contenders for nocking down barriers in the Spec-Ops world. As I stated, women have completed the selection process JFSWC but not advanced.
I would like better hairstyle in this game and trust me, we need some better faces as well..Its not a beauty game, but some sexy hair styles and sexy faces would not be to much
to ask for right guys. I got such withdrawls for playing the beta and i did preorder the Ultimate edition for ps4 on the psn. So pls Ubisoft pls fix the hairstyle and the faces and some makeup as well. That is all I ask for at least. x
Wow, slow your roll Killer.
H3llKnightX88 Ghosts are fictional based on real world operators interpreted by game developers and set on a fictional island set in the year 2022 if we go by the flashback of Walker pulling a wounded character created in the image you selected into a building in Afghanistan.
Now to reflect the red and bright orange shirts that must be in Wildlands as the character I had designed had none of those options to include ponytail. Again this is to transfer the term shooter’s preference over to gamer’s preference allow the gamer to make the character they best think represents some alter version of themselves.
Why don’t we wear fingerless gloves, oh I don’t know, black palm, broken glass, other plants, insects and animals. You’ll see guys wearing Oakley this and 5.11 that but most the time it is simple Nomex gloves or another glove that suits the shooter often Mechanix Brand.
Cravats and drive-on rags are commonplace with touches of things from home like Red Sox caps or insert your favorite team here. I would love to be able to share pictures from my personal albums of operators smoking cigarettes while sitting on top of fuel blivets or up in the mountains with nothing as casual as what you see in this game.
Remember, operators advise from Starship Troopers this game, books and other movies. Half the crap in Wildlands was alright as far as dialogue but then there was stuff that yeah rangers might like. I like Rangers, great people dedicated hard working.
So yeah I think I am one of those who would draw the line too. I don’t need to spend 10 to 15 minutes cutting a wait a minute vine or gotcha twig out of a member’s ponytail. Or spend a moment distracted as he or she pulls a spider web they wandered into out of their do.
As far as what does being a girl have to do with the OP. Because as MDR stated we have women in our club and they make short haired characters. He has trained women and they end up with bobs and short hair. If that doesn’t work maybe because it is a fact men like to play female characters in video games.
Here is a couple a links to videos regarding just that topic.
