As has been mentioned before there is a complete lack of feminine body types. The smallest body type (1) looks about like the Chief in Halos 2 and 3. I keep seeing people ask “How can that be done?” “How can you even tell under all that armor?” and the answer is well… very easily. Ignoring for a second the fact that it has been done for three games now here are some ways to do it in Infinite. All we really want to see is smaller boots, slimmer hands, a thinner neck, a torso slightly slimmer than the current smallest (again it looks like Chief), and a feminine butt. Now before everyone jumps on me for sexualization I’m not asking a dump truck like in Reach. Let’s face it Spartans already have cake, all I’m saying is we should have a body type where it is feminine rather than masculine. If you say you really cannot tell the difference between the two then I’m sorry but you are in for a lot of awkward moments in life. One more thing, I have seen many make the argument that Spartans are nearly indistinguishable due to their augments. That is only true for Spartan IIs and we play as Spartans IVs in this game who were already fully developed adults prior to joining the Spartan program and did not receive those augments. Their strength instead comes from superior more advanced armor. A good example would be Sarah Palmer we see her in Halo 4 and her stature is nowhere near Chiefs and she retains feminine form. another example though a Spartan III would be Goerge who was much bigger than your average Spartan. Anyway, my point is that there needs to be a feminine body in the game. As things are right now not only am I stuck in this unbelievable grind for cosmetics but I can’t even have a character that I’d like to customize.

In all seriousness though, they could have a height scaler at least, since the torso size isn’t noticeable at all unless you’re staring at it, but people might whine about hitbox unless they add playable Elites
Lol, but they won’t scale height due to the hitbox mainly because even if the box stays the same players will still aim for the head and if it is any shorter shots will count as body shots which would break gameplay. That’s why I thought I would suggest some things that would make no changes to the hitbox while still making the Spartans appear more feminine. I just want them so put some effort into this even if the changes start out minimal.
If anyone has seen PSO2, they could add a body scaler. So imagine a cross with top heavy, bottom heavy, bulky and slim or something of the sort.
The community has demonstrated that they can’t discuss this topic constructively and that will likely remain true as long as the insistence on over sexualization of secondary sexual characteristics and the misguided attempt to equate masculinity/femininity with them continues.
