up to now it has 2652 triangles, but i think i can reduce that number a bit.
i have read that solid snake had around 3000 and leon from resident evil 4 had around 9000.

I wonder if he meant "average verticals". I checked all the normals' options, and there isn't any harden or soften settings. He could be reffering to a MAX command.

Anyway, I think you should define the muscle groups a bit better. I think more muscle definition would really make the model stand out, if your going for high detail.

Err, I accidently overlooked that in the edit polygons. I wasn't looking hard enough.
