An interesting article I came across today, thought some of you may like to read it considering the authors of this study used Halo 3 Multiplayer (Team Slayer) as their method to test this

"First, they created three Xbox Live accounts for three conditions: one male, one female and one voiceless. They are represented by their gamertags and their voice, the three accounts have very similar gamertags." ...

"The authors together played a total of 245 games. 82 in the voiceless condition, 81 in the male voice condition and 82 in the female voice condition. Each game had typically seven other players, which resulted 1711 players who players along with the researchers, 1660 were unique gamers, so quite a small chance of meeting the same player." ... 

"The take home message is that female players when heard are not treated as well as their male counterparts despite skill level, wins or losses."
