I was unable to see my character at all, oddly enough. I have the brightness maxxed out on my monitor, so that was not likely the culprit. I saw only a white patch at the center of the screen, with the soldier occasionally silhouetted against it as I passed.
I ran it a second time, and noticed that -- for an instant -- the background was a lighter gray, against which I could see my player model. Then it went dark before I could move.
I took a screenshot and brightened it by 50%, so the blacks were all gray; at that point, I could barely begin to make out the shapes. Not sure if it's my vidcard or what?
