Although there is some nice work done here, this skin relies quite heavily on the default Hgrunt skin provided by Valve. It would have been nice to see some of the recognizable attributes of the Hgrunt skin altered to more accuretly fit the theme of this skin. Overall, however, the author has made some nice artistic choices, and added some interesting variation from the too over-used default Hgrunt skin.
Hgrunt model is the most widely used skin on-line, which also makes it the most boring.
Desert Grunt offers a relatively minor variant of that skin, while achieving a very different visual effect, and maintaining some of the great color shifting ability of the original. This makes it a good choice for both FFA deathmatch and team play. However, I feel that more could have been done to differeniate Desert Grunt from the Hgrunt, and in low lighting conditions the two look an awful lot alike. Still, this makes a nice team play skin, and a great alternative to playing the boring Hgrunt. Cool Desert Storm theme.
