Female avatars existed back in Tribes, or even Unreal Tournament. I'm not a CoD player, but I'm frankly surprised that there wasn't an option. I thought this sort of stuff was a _given_ today. Guess I was wrong.
Anyway, this may be a "puff piece", but anyone with half-a-brain can figure out how much of a jackass move this was on --EDIT-- Activision's part. Why did it take so long to create a female avatar?
Hell, Halo gave a nod to female players by making female spartans inside of their famous armor. (ie: Nicole-458). You don't even _need_ texture mods to officially play as a female in a lot of these games, lol.
