UPDATE: Added Textures, Wearntear and improved Lighting.
Oh god, I did it. Wtf.
So yeah, there. I was on a roll, so I thought I´d give it another shot and made this template. Added a few pointers and some text and voilá, instant-schematic.
This is very rough. If at all, I´m going to describe all the details in the comments, and not in here. Simply because I can´t be arsed :V
Suffice to say, this is about the kind of equipment you´d expect a reasonably well equipped fringe-world Soldier of any of the Csye states to have. Liquid-core armour (which hardens when heated or struck by a bullet) inside the plate carrier, which is attached to the modular torso armour below. Another such flexible piece protects the abdomen.
The Suit underneath is fully enclosed, but not space-worthy. Csye´s own atmosphere is rather curious, so it´s rare to find Csye outside of their suits in any place but their Ships, or their own Worlds. Because of this, the Suit also has system with which it can seal even relatively large points of damage where they occur, to prevent a potentially lethal atmosphere from leaking in.
Not shown is the back of the suit, which has a similar attachment-point system as the front. The backpacks that can be attached are made up of sections, scaled to suit the respective mission. These can range from small 3 day to 7 day packs, Radios, riggings to carry large portable weapons such as heavy machineguns, missle launchers or explosives, and various other types of gear.
One thing that, even in the far future, is never going to change is the fact that you need to support yourself: many designs of scifi armour I find lack any provision to carry gear, ammunition, or other things necessary for surviving on the battlefield. I´m also no friend of techy-overkill as is habitually done in startrek (where everybody relies on the most advanced and complicated technology that could be devised, even for the most simple applications).
That is why instead of fancy antigrav gear or silly portable shields or phaser-based cigarette lighters, Ropes, old-fashioned but very advanced Bodyarmour and Matches are commonly still found in use.
That is also why I added the chest-webbing and additional webbing attached to the leg-plate. Especially with the more advanced armour sporting neural interfaces and active-motion assistance in the form of electro-fiber muscles or servos, this means that an individual soldier can carry all the gear he/she needs to outdo the enemy.
The rifle is another point of simplicity: firing classical chem-propelled projectiles, using well-tried and established mechanisms, it is easy to maintain, and can be repaired easily in the field, compared to a very advanced and sensitive hypo-shock-tesla-molecular-detonator-ray, and with the right types of ammunition, it will still be able to defeat even advanced enemies.
Wuh, that´s about as much as I can think of now. If you have questions, put it in the comments. Sooner or later this century I will (probably) find time to read and answer those, in case there is interest, even.
Toodles!

Is there a cooling system someplace? Bodies vent heat to the air around them during physical activity, which is one of the major problems with full body armor. Full body armor prevents the body from cooling and can cause the wearer to overheat unless it is carefully made to permit airflow to enable cooling.
The suit has a integrated liquid cooling system by default, similar to what is used in space suits nowadays. The undersuit has a web of cooling-lines, trough which the coolant is pumped. That goes into the power-module in the back of the torso armour, where the heat is then removed by a powered heatsink.
At any rate, on IR-active vision systems, such as Thermal Vision, this suit will glow like a Christmas tree, at least on the back.

Actually, what I said there is stupid. The suit would naturally be geared to have as LITTLE of an IR signature as possible. While being climatised, the suit also transports body-heat to a heatsink mounted on the back, which would be the only part of the suit with a major signature.
Well, given the games I play, the heat sink could discharge some of the incorporated heat at random times, or like when submerged so not to cause a sudden spike on thermal sensors.
Having said that, you have done AWESOME!
All the stuff is thought out very well, and why replace something that works very well, and has a proven record.
Anyhow, I applaud your work

Neat. Though I'd point out that's a scope on the rifle - There are red dot scopes, but a red dot sight doesn't look like a scope.
That was your moment of pedantry.
Because I quite like your design work and I think you did a good job of including the MOLLE Webbing and laying out the hardplates.
Though I'd love to see this sort of thing with all the gear glomped on for a patrol - It'd probably make you rhand fall off at the wrist.
