LOOKS weaker, but isn't :D. Why does she NEED to look scary anyway? Ya want aliens urinating on themselves, like you're some sort of bad arse? I prefer the idea of her actually BEING human rather than cold blooded and generally being scared of the things she fights (not that this has anything to do with the look mind you :D). That seems to be the mood the series is going with anyway though. Personally, I just can't stand the "completely cold hearted only cares about doing the job and says one liners to everyone they kill" persona anyway, like Master Chief, the completely uninspired and dull personality in Halo. Hmm, seem to have slipped into an unrelated rant there... :D
Besides, lots of new battle suits in the real world have an organic look to them. Sort of form fitting outfits that don't really make the wearer look beefy or anything, but get the job done and look good in their own way. Perhaps you compare this design to the previous too much, only looking at how this one doesn't have such and such compaired to what the previous one did, rather than analyzing it on it's own merits. I'm sure that knights in shining armor, some of them anyway, would find what we dress our most updated soldiers today to be very weak looking, until they try stabbing one and it doesn't even phase the soldier... OOoh ooh, and gas masks and guns kinda create a similar appearence offset in the real world too.
Um, ABF, you just explained exactly why it doesn't say anything that it isn't being used in those two games.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
