On a historical accuracy context, woman did fight and give their lives in combat situations right through World War One and Two.
I think the recent spate of female gaming protagonists has been a breath of fresh air for the games industry. Do I have a problem with a woman being playable characters in a war game? Absolutely not. The whole thing just stunk to the high heavens of EA, trying to pander to every possible demographic out there. Then a few unrelated experiences and events changed that, the first being the Battlefield V reveal event. Even as late as this year, I was planning my review schedule and had Battlefield V firmly in place with no inclination to play the new COD.
