Need more "brothas" Dice.
Good morning Dice,
I am aware that there's alot of forums on gender and race characters within BF6. This was one of my experiences, among many more. Yesterday I was enjoying a game of conquest on Operation Firestorm. I was lucky enough to obtain a attack helicopter off the start of the game. One of my squad mates was even more lucky to become my gunner. We started the game by speaking voice chat, calling out targets, and generally having a great time.
Somehow we got on the discussion of gender specific characters within classes. My gunner and I both agreed that we dont necessarily want to be female, if we're not female. The female call-outs within the game in heated gameplay, really throws off the vibe when you're expecting your character to be a male voice.
Okay, now onto the hard part. My gunner, being a really great guy, chirps in the background, of obvious African American decent. Explained to me in grave detail, using a word that I am way too white to ever say to anybody, stated in these exact words "they really need to add anotha brotha to other classes, I dont even play recon." Dice.......... I couldn't have said it better (even though I am pretty sure I wasnt allowed to say it better). I allowed my squad mate to take the lead of the conversation, for I was too afraid to speak on the matter, in fear of words slipping. In the end we both agreed there should be more race diversity within the classes to ensure your character is as close as to you IRL. Okay, see we made it through that, even though it took me an hour to get my wording correct.
We continued to flow through the conversation more conversation on we're neither female nor Asian. We both agreed that there needs to be more diversity within the character selection, so as we described, your character is you as close as it could be. I want to thank everyone for reading my post and hope this gets upvoted so Dice may come across and maybe create more diversity in character selection.
