I have to agree with Direkitten that a female spartan voice in the stories is not really what we would be jumping for. We love the masterchief and don't mind playing as him through campain. Having a female spartan on multiplayer would be neat. Even though it would cause alot of confusion (guys picking a female spartan and pretending to be one ...Wishfull thinking). But I do know some girls who are more feministic than me and would die to play as a female on Halo. It would always be a plus, an extra. Like, you can decide to play as a female or male. So it is a win-win . But I soooo totally agree on the strong voice. If she would have the voice of a Barbie no one'd take her serious. Covenant and Flood would just laugh at her and wonder why she wouldn't pound them KO with her pink purse. She has to have a strong voicce that is yet female but that expresses and authority and determination. I dunno, but when I say strong woman I always have to think of Lara Croft from Tombraider III . Strong, sensual and kicking ass voice. But I soooo woul NOT like to see a Lara Croft spartan walking around. Just average muscled female version of a spartan will do for me and will satisfy more girls than a skinny spartan you can pull through the eye of a needle. Make her the new role model for girls ;)
