Why is it that almost everyone online decides to make their character model as giant and bulky as possible? It makes everyone look like they're either from Gears of War, or an Optimus Prime stand in. I try to make my character look kind of sleek, not really overly thin but just looks like someone who would be in an elite squad as the Spartans are. Anything I'm missing? Did I not get the memo? Why is that?

I like to use the Security Shoulders and I used to use the grenadier body like Jorge's, but now I use the Para body with the robot arm.

It's only natural dude. Most people get a sense of power when they make themselves big and bulky.

I try to balance out my armor like maybe I'll have the right security shoulder and a smaller or a lower rank unlocked shoulder with a good chest like para.

I wear default. Mouse I guess.

Mines either like Carter or the Meta so I guess kinda big.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I've always been a heavy armor fan, but the overly bulky high ranks look ridiculous. I think I wore double security and grenadier collar for like 5 games just because I could. It was more of a "right of passage" for getting to the rank of General than anything.

My current configuration is as follows:

GUNGNIR HU/RS
Grenadier Left
Grenadier Right
Collar/Grenadier [UA]
UA/Buckler
Grenadier Knees
Gold Visor
UA/CHOBHAM

All of this armor is pretty thick and heavy, but as you can see most of it is part of a matching set. The pieces look aesthetically similar to one another and give my character that heavy armor type look that I love. It's bulky, but not stupid bulky.

Vote for me for a free cookie.

I agree. I always see people with jorges chest, Emiles knife shoulder and the left shoulder version, gungnir or security helmet and grenadier kneeguards.
