They actually didn't, I was just exaggerating. You can see that in some of them he's facing away from the camera and stuff
If I had to guess they made him look the same to represent the in-game model

This is actually something concept artists do, they have a character silhouette drawn separately and just add it to the composition for scale and/or detail, you can see it quite clearly on the borealis concept art for HL3/EP3 that surfaced a few years ago with the advisors.
Since the concept art is just a way to show the dev team what the game is supposed to look like, not advertise it, it's mostly acceptable to do this kind of stuff.

This concept art is incredibly surreal, but unfortunately CoD is never trying to be surreal. It's all about big grand vistas that act as set pieces for driving plot. I would love to see a shooter outside of Spec Ops: The Line that can take a moment to be surreal.

"Object impacts in water and other fluids often create cavities that generate jets when they collapse. But impacts on granular materials can produce similar results, forming a cavity, a splash corona, and, under the right circumstances, a jet. This Sixty Symbols video explores the effect of grain size (and thus weight) on the formation of such a rebound jet. Ultimately, the jet behavior is driven by air. When the granular material is poured, air gets trapped between the grains. The impact compresses the grains, forcing the previously trapped air up and out through the cavity created by the impact. Interestingly, once the air pressure is low enough, jet creation is suppressed, not unlike splash suppression in liquids."

It was a high explosive grenade, he'd have a higher chance of surviving kicking it and blowing off both his legs than crouching and having the entirety of the concussive forces placed on his upper torso.
[QUOTE=noh_mercy;45003885]he really should have just kept his shield there, by trying to kick it he exposes his whole body to the deadly fragments that are released from that nade.[/QUOTE]
It seems he got very lucky with his positioning, by blocking it with his foot he spared the rest of his body and likely many of the others.
Those shields wouldn't really have done shit against that grenade.
