I like gender equality in my shooters. Hopefully Valve feels the same way...

These look amazing, to be honest.

I lol'ed at the heavy.

Very nice.

Let's see if Valve does anything about it.

I came... a lot

Do want!

The medic needs to look like the nurses in silent hill

@Tiff: Not to be an ass, but it’s “hear, hear”. It’s a common mistake; don’t feel bad (or, more importantly, please don’t take offense).

I still haven’t played this game or anything in The Orange Box, amazingly enough. Well, I guess it’s not really amazing — I only have a PS3. But I got The Orange Box for my brother for Christmas, so I just plan to hog his 360 and the five games for the entirety of the post-Christmas winter break.

That scout does look a bit like a boy, but I am thinking more tomboy. It's interesting that a women in video games can't seem to be much other than sexy or horrific... I think maybe the ladies in Half-Life and Portal are one of the few examples of a "normal" woman in gaming.

Because you can have a big, strong woman who doesn't look like Susan as played by Phil Hartman. I think. She could like have Chun Li thighs or something.

That's a damn cool idea. Let's see if these actually come out.

Man, of all the companies that would do an update like this, it would be Valve too. I hope it happens.

I'd stick with the glasses for the female medic, making them look more like a Bond lab assistant. For the Scout I'd be thinking along the lines of one of the female baseballers in A League of Their Own. Heavy is perfect as a Helga-type, I love it! The Pyro could be more of a manic firestarter; psychotic eyes, blackened cheeks and flame-red, spikey, singed hair. Sniper would wear a long, leather trenchcoat and functional, army-style civilian clothing. Spy would be wearing a full cat-suit for cat-burglary: think the current Spy head-gear but with a full-body aspect. Demo-woman could be a Foxy-Cleopatra counterpart to our familiar Scottish, eyepatch wearing bomber. Engineer is a mousey grease-monkey - think Kaylee Frye from Firefly. Soldier is a dyke-type with the graded buzz cut hairdo and similar clothing to the regular Soldier.

I'm all for it! Nice post.

@Calvin: I'm all about the content, baby. =D

I just have fantastic images of Guys vs Girls matches. Well, that and Girl on Girl matches too, but that's a separate issue. I'm gonna get home this evening and start working on some concept art.

I want.

This guy is good at drawing shemales. I wonder if I can hire him...

That heavy scares me.
