My Rant:
 This is the first player model I have ever made, I think it has turned out fairly well. I had to keep turning down the brightness and contrast on the skin because it was too bright in-game on my system, this may have led to a loss of large amounts of the detail originaly on the skin. The large file size can be contributed to the way I layed out my skins and the size of the "rank" skins. This model features my first attempt at player animation, I created new die_forwards, backwards, spin, headshot and gutshot anims, most of which turned out pretty well especialy the die_backwards which looks great ingame. There are some problems with the mesh in the hips when running, prone and on the left arm in some animations, which I'm not sure how to fix/work around. 
The new death sounds are taken from SpecOps:Rangers Lead The Way.
