And by me 6 minutes ago.

Heh, I have no idea how I missed that line in your post halonachos.

It was more an explanation for anyone who didn't know there is a difference in model and hit box. Actually I was more drawn in by the "players complains about hit boxes being too big." I've played CoD since the first game, which still had pretty big boxes. I've never ever heard anyone complain about the boxes at all. Not even in the MW2 monstrosity.

The notion that female player models are a problem due to size is really silly. I'm unsure why it's even up for discussion or deserves mention. Odd Job and Jaws solved that problem more than a decade ago

Eh, a lot of text I guess.

Yeah, too bad the hit boxes were also different for them. But that'll ruin a game if you shoot the giant in the head and it doesn't do any damage or if you shoot above the midget's head and it kills him.

Yes, integration is a slow process. It's always been that way no matter what demographic was being integrated.

Baron's posts excellently displays that flak seeing as though the spy in NOLF was a veritable badass from the 70s and apparantly I think women die easily in games or something while melissia believes that they should waste valuable shotgun ammo.

Just because I satirized your stance doesn't make it flak. Though, frankly, if I did want to give you some flak, you'd think you were hitting Berlin by day.


If you're headshot by a woman, are you any less dead then if you were headshot by a man?

God made people, but Sam Colt made them equal.

And that is why I love Colt pistols so much. Actually, no, I just like them because they're awesome things (both the M1911 based designs, and the revolvers) which have consistently stood the test of time.

I like the Colt 45, but I think that has more to do with Billy Dee Williams.

Meh, I like the 1911 because it works. My old Remington-Rand made Colt 1911 still works just was well now as it did in 1943. You never have to worry if it will do the job, and it will do it anywhere, under nearly any conditions.

I'll take a weapon I know I can trust over one a general in Washington that's never seen a battlefield thinks I can trust.

I like lazor gunz they go pew pew

Indeed. That's kinda why revolvers are still being used today, albeit not by military forces but for self defense.

Because revolvers are incredibly reliable.

They are also sexy.

I prefer clip fed magnums. They're sexier.

Most of them are trash.

You've confused sidearm with bling. Don't worry. It happens to a lot of people that play 40k. And all of the character designers.
