Aliens Colonial Marines - Female Marines?

You may or may not be aware that GearBox Software is presently beavering away at an upcoming shooter title based on the Alien franchise. SEGA will be publishing the title at the end of this year (if it doesn't slip) under the name Aliens: Colonial Marines, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.


Aliens: Colonial Marines will feature a squad based FPS dynamic where you control 4 members of a marine squad (think Hicks, Hudson etc). We've looked into this with the obvious question of female marines, given the Aliens film had a few, including Vasquez (seen above), Ferro (the cool pilot) and Dietrich (the medic). We're hoping GearBox will get back to us with the goods because we're quite excited at the thought of this title, but that would go into overdrive if they actually include a few female marines in the mix, as is only fair and smart.
