Actually I'm a neurobiology major who also was the runner up for miss teen Texas 2000. I have no problems being a chick, but I don't think the only way to improve a game is to sex it up. I'm not denying sex sells, but it's not what makes a great game. Remember that volleyball game? It did ok, nothing compared to the sims2.
This game is based on realistic models of learning and evolution. What is interesting is the tatics, I see it even more as something as a useful model of psychology or sociology. You can make aggressive teams and see how they do against sniper-like teams. (When a very agressive team fought a team trained to avoid the enemy, the teams were about equally matched.)
You can see what affect it has to reward soldiers for shooting at each other, to see if they exhibit more "deviant behaviors" such as spinning around in circles.
This type of game is definately different than some stagnantly programmed game. And this female is getting tired of people being closed minded enough to think the only way to make a cool game is to "add a few more 'sexy' woman screen."
The University of Texas is different from Southwest Texas (aka Texas State University) in San Marcos. The only argument about the phrase "Texas University" comes from Texas A&M who claim they were the original Texas university. The A&M students also refuse to correctly reference UT correctly and instead call it TU for "Texas University."
While that is indeed the correct reference, Austin is the primary University of Texas campus. Within the state of Texas, simply stating UT implies the Austin campus.

While UT Dallas is a good school, UT Austin is consistantly rated in the top 10 for computer sciences and UT Dallas is not.

Have you tried asking this on the NERO forum itself? The original programmers spend a lot of time answering these kind of questions there.
