title says it all. should we be able to swap between our characters between maps?

im not sure if you have the same feeling but its so annoying that almost every time you pick your character its the one that isnt that useful for the next map. for instance not having picked your operative when you have a hack objective. not having soldier when you need to blow the bridge.

i know they talk about the ranking but IMO that is just massively impacting on gameplay. if i make a new level 1 character its still me using him and i will come top of the xp board. i think this limitation it having a negative affect.

I definitely wouldn't mind being able to switch my character after dying and with like a 5 minute cooldown. Because sometimes everyone on your team is set to be a specific class so no one want's to switch to something they don't have set up. That's just my two cents.

good call. i didnt think of a cooldown for mi-game swapping. i knew it could be abused if not locked down. but im not sure i have an issue with that anyway.

to me this level cap thing causes more harm than good. its not like a level 20 has that many more toys than level 10.

can the people saying no give a reason. i cant see the issue, you can exit and swap character and rejoin the server but you could lose your place and lets face facts, the server browser is pretty poor!

Server browser on PC is pretty poor.

Not even having that on consoles is even worse.

I don't think you should be able to do this mid-game, at all, but between maps, you should be given a "swap character" option.

Maybe halfway through the mission you can chnage your body type and @ the start of each game you can change your character.

I agree with obliviondoll, swapping between maps should be allowed but swapping mid game would become very heavily abused in no time at all. Imagine trying to break an enemys grip on a small well covered area around the objective when they've all become medic/agents and have covered the area with caltrops and are reviving each other like its going out of fashion.
