I think the females look pretty realistic. If you're referring to the size of the forearm, I agree that it looks very slightly underbuilt, but I think the rest is right up to snuff.

The TR woman definitely looks malnourished .

Mean as! MAX units kick-ass.

I thought they weren't going to be in PS2... that's what I read around announcement time, did the community make them change their mind?

What parts of her specifically look underweight?

Nah, they've always been in.

Although, Battlefield and Call of Duty don't have MAXes, so some players may have assumed they wouldn't be included

Lol, look how skinny her legs are compred to the VS, and NC women. This is not right T-Ray we want our women to be beautiful ,

Remember the MAX suits don't have a regular trooper next to them to show the scale, so the VS one could well be taller and better armoured than it appears.
Just remember the first pic we saw of the lightning next to the 3 empire specific MBT (it looked huge), perspective is everything.

The TR model is wearing tapered fatigues and has hips and legs almost directly aligned with the camera (ze goggles, they do nothing).
The NC model has the curve of her bottom making her leg look thicker plus the baggiest trousers of the set (dirty scavengers don't dress well), the VS armour/padding make them more muscular than the other empires (Tech = Might

).

You mean compare the 2 sets of baggy combat fatigues with a skin-tight synth-suit?
If anything the Crysis-suit style padding make her look more muscular than the others.

Lol, Your right, but hey perception is everything.

Wal-Mart women are not average American women.

You don't live in America, do you? Our women come in all ranges, from morbidly obese to 80 pound anorexic twigs. Most are in the middle. The women models we've seen look like they're about 5'8, 110 lbs.

I expect women soldiers of Planetside to be built more like a triathlete than a cheerleader.

Notice the buffer shoulders and upper body and the less pronounced hips and only slightly more slim than the male triathlete.

Not expecting them to look like Latino weather anchors, but I do expect them to look like someone who gets a lot of exercise and lifts heavy equipment quite regularly. Other than a slightly smaller stature and maybe a less rugged face I don't expect them to look all that noticeably different from male soldiers.
