> > Hi there, as a transgender individual who really appreciates the changes put in, I can firmly say youâre outright wrong. There are absolutely notable differences in the waistlines. I chose the middle ground option, as somebody who definitely has an hourglass, but at 6â3 and broad shouldered, it was the option that felt right.

> > By the way, it should be noted that there was a sect of the Halo fanbase that found the over-donked Spartans since Reach to be a bit much, and preferred that their Spartans look more androgynous or more masculine in body shape. While Reachâs feminine body types were definitely exaggerated and while I donât really care for this group to get a W of any kind, this was one way to appease both of us that if you ask me, has worked.

> > Thatâs blatantly false. About the only way you could tell in BF2015 was the voice. You certainly couldnât tell at a glance. But the question remains: Why do you want to be able to tell at a glance? Why does it honestly matter so much? When the difference is as small as that, the concern is far more about personal comfort and expression which, is fine by me.

> If you canât tell the difference at a decent glance, then you may as well go back to Halo 3 and just have a voice change. And the Star Wars comparison was a joke to show how both that and these options are far too similar. Iâm happy you like the choices available, but donât you think people with a more feminine figure like the Reach - 5 model want a more feminine figure too? Not saying to remove these ones but it feels like theyâve just straight up replaced the old ones rather than just adding. Personally Iâd love 3 different types for each gender. Maybe a muscle, medium and small option? Canât say fat as Spartans wouldnât be XD
Weâre wearing power armor, I enjoyed having a fat DONK in 5 for sure but donât act like that wasnât kindaâ goofy. Not exactly digging the implication I lack a feminine figure though, Iâve worked hard for that. 
What I donât get is why people are so obsessed with seeing âblatant/obviousâ features like⌠Yâall weâre playing superhuman soldiers in powered armor designed to protect us. I think we can skimp out on seeing booty.
You know what actually, lemmeâ use an example. Iâm a welder, yeah? Well, what we wear in the shop are these thick leather coats to protect us from burns, slag, radiation and other hazards or dangers. Not to mention our UV filtering masks, respirators, caps and safety goggles, on top of thick, treated leather gloves, steel toe leather boots and - this is funny but itâs acceptable, non polyester jeans.
We have to wear⌠a lot of layers and a lot of stuff. Now under that protective gear we all have very diverse bodytypes. My wife has an incredible set of hips but you canât see that under her coat. Iâve got a huge rack, but even with my coat properly fitted and all, you really canât make that out. About all anyone can see is my hair bun and eyes when my mask is up.
âŚSo, what do we expect from a pressurized suit with energy shields, an undersuit and plating that can help withstand orbital re-entry, a visor that barely ever gets damaged, and so on? Is it not absolutely mind bogglingly incredible that the armor is as form fitting as it is already?
Whatever the case may be if you want realism and such, take it from the welder: We wear layers.
