Like most Brink fans, I messed with different appearances for a while before I created a character whose visual appearance I was proud of. All of my characters have the Peripherial Vision upgrade which switches the camera to third person and allows you to look around while performing tasks. When I play online, my character often randomly and automatically changes into a different character, not one of mine, but a random, jumbled one. Occasionally, it is complete and I receive a disjointed looking character who looks nothing like my own. Other times, it is partial and my character's skin, hair color, or archetype will change. It doesn't effect the gameplay, and I've never had my bodytype change. I'm simply distracted by the fact that I'm rolling a hideous character about who isn't the one I put together.

One of my characters, a Bruiser archetype who looks like Ice T, has had a seemingly permanent voice change. I gave this dark-skinned character a voice more suited for a black man. His voice has changed to match the voice of my first character, who is caucasian (I think). While that voice suits my other character, it looks silly coming from my Bruiser.

I'm concerned that people who do not use Peripherial Vision do not realize that their characters are being randomly jumbled.

This shouldn't be one of the dev's main priorities, but I would like to see the problem eventually fixed.

Often it will be replaced by a character that was originally in the cut scenes. Sometimes it will be another one of your own characters. This issue has been addressed by SD and should be fixed in the upcoming patch.

I've not noticed this, as I haven't used the Sense of Perspective. However, I have noticed that killing incapacitated enemies often changes them. Not that big of a deal, but it's still weird.

I have not noticed this problem and i do not use that abbility. But when i die (die not incap'ed) i see my character as i made him.

Are you on pc? Ps3? 360? Im on ps3 and have not encounterd this problem.

Yeah it's only a bug on xbox. Rather annoying but it does usually fix itself if you stay in the game till the next round.

Oh. Well hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch.

i was a black soldier with the bottom voice in with a green Freak coat on in-game i sounded like a white dude with some sort of fluffy white coat i could see my sleeves and it was bright white. thought it was odd my voice sometimes was right but my coat is always wrong on my screen.

This occasionally happens on PS3 also, not just XBOX.

The changing of characters when incapacitated always throws me off

I've noticed this on the PS3... Doesn't bother me too much, but it should be fixed

Did anyone else think this is like the World at War days where you would switch to another players load out or end up with two types of primary grenades; or was that Black Ops? Sorry it is a little difficult to tell the difference sometimes SILLY me...

Enemy in disguise!

I've also noticed that sometimes as Security my weapons have the Resistance Skin. Related, perhaps?

I think it's just something to do with loading. Anyone remember Force Character Models from games of yonder year? To decrease game internet capacity everyone was forced to look the same so it only loaded one model and one set on animations etc. etc.

I own a PlayStation 3.

I stand corrected. Maybe they'll put a higher priority on fixing it in that case.
