I think personally it was a bad move on EAs part. They should have done a separate mode for women (secured more female players in database) and perhaps placed objectives and achievements to create multiple men and women's squad so people still used them.
I don't rate UT much anyway and adding women just reinforced my views. Arcade mode with 0 realism.
Totally fantasy and I could ramble on more.
And BTW, in 2024 you are still allowed to have views against this. You dont have to agree with everything this world pushes. Called free speech. Don't let anyone tell you different.
