Some call me crazy........ They're too modest.

light is coming down an across from an overhead streetlight, which produces a compact shadow, we don't see the full body length , that shadow is right.

I'm not sure about that man...I mean I'll look again but it really doesn't seem to match up with her head/body shape at all.

have another look, shadow fits the shape of the helmet.. picture the light being around a foot away from her head

But its wierd when I first saw that picture.

I thought someone just copy-ed and pasted a pic of recon over her head, but I was sooo wrong...

Granted, if the light is like 6 in. away from her head and to the right about like 5 degrees, than the shadow is correct. It'd be better if the light was in the shot.

i wouldn't be surprised if they just added a light source to showcase the characters so you wouldn't be able to see any model of where the light is from.

anyway doesn't really matter.. I WANT THIS GAME
