Default Lara is supposed to be "S.A.S. trained".

What ever the hell that means. Like she went though boot or basic or something? I'd like to see her hook up with one of her old platoon or at least squad members in a future Tomb Raider. Have it give some more depth to the otherwise "lacking" storyline.

I think you have played too much of Resident Evil 5.

My apologies then.It's just that your description reminded me a lot of a character in RE5 (Sheva.)

And to answer your question no, i don't think that Lara's character fits within a training military squad.She's too much of an indepented person too work well under team orders.
It would have been more believable if she had a personal mentor who trained her on combat and weapons as well as with lots of physical training.

Btw,i think this thread better belongs in the Future Tomb Raider Games section...

If I remember well, in the movies there was a picture of her with military colothing between some other guys in a military outfit.
Or was this a refernce to something else?

I think you have been watching too many movies, it has never been said in the games Lara was SAS trained, which stands for Special Air Service. Some of the models have had SAS training to help them be more like Lara, that's nothing to do with the games. Lara is not a soldier and there is no reason to attempt to make a fps or any kind of shooter out of an adventure/action game. Yes she was shown with some services friends in the movie, no I do not think she was ever officially part of their squadron, but then I was never that interested in the movie version of Lara's history, maybe it was mentioned somewhere.

^^^Hey that's just plain mean imo. Lara isn't a robot...a romantic interest doesn't hurt anyone.

I guess some of the charm that Lara has come from being single and not having inerest in a relationship. But I wish they, somehow, gave Lara at least a little romance in her life.
wow, this is really off topic lol
