							Nice work for so far! Even if it doesn't become an actual Gen player model it will still be a welcome addition to the Q3 player roster alongside the Imp, Arachnotron, Q1 Grunt, etc.

							Why take the word of someone who has nothing to do with the mod or this model? I say it becomes a Q3 player model (hell, I even did that in the first post of this thread   ). Optimizing  is sometimes the same as cutting polies. Polygons that are not visible at any time, polygons that are not nescessary (ie. can be effectively replaced by details on a skin) etc. Considering it's not done, and some detail will be added later, I have to make sure the total polycount keeps well under 1500, to prevent it from being nuts :] For instance, the detail in the abdominal cover of the armor added about a hundred polygons, while this effect can easily be replaced by a good skin.

							Whoa, all I said was it would be nice to have him a Slippy player.  Never once did I say what was going to happen.  Before anybody thinks of knife throwing, it was a suggestion not fact. I said it because you can tell already that it is going to be a sweet looking model, and all I asked was if there was any chance of seeing jaeger any time soon.  As for the enforcer, it would be nice to have him as a playable Slippy.  I didn't imply one way or another.

I'm sure some soundforge action on the ranger sounds would be suffice   .gif)

							The 'burning question', to me was whether or not this in any way can be part of the Gen package. Sounds can be made, but if only a few will be able to hear them, what's the use? :]
