Is it possible to play both the Security and Resistance campaigns in Online Versus mode with the same character?

I started by making a Security character. I finished both the Security and Resistance campaigns in Solo Play mode. Then I played through all of the Security campaign levels in Online Versus mode. When I went to highlight the Day 1 level on the Resistance campaign, it showed my character with the Resistance outfit I set up, and I selected "Online Versus" mode, but when I selected to start the game, it switched to my Security outfit and started the Security Day 1 map. I tried it a couple times and it kept doing the same thing. When I select "Solo Play," it stays on my Resistance outfit and starts the Resistance Day 1 level.

Is this a glitch or do I need to start another Resistance character to play the Resistance campaign in Online Versus? I'd rather not have to start a new character.

BTW, I'm playing on the PS3.

Thanks.

P.S. Personally, I think this game is awesome, though the lag can be pretty attrocious. That definitely needs to be patched (and not by reducing the number of human players). And the level cap should be bumped up, at least to 30.

I play as Security forces for the most part but have been force to play resistance due to room balancing...points earned went towards my security character if that helps.

Bump.

Okay, it appears this is some sort of glitch. I started a second character as Resistance and played through all of the Resistance campaign in Online Versus, and it will let me play the Security campaign in Online Versus as well. For some reason it still won't let my first Security character play the Resistance campaign in Online Versus, though, which kinda svcks because A) my first Security character is a higher level, and B) I like the Archtype face I picked for my first character better (guess I should have just picked the same face for my Resistance character).

So yeah, it's some kind of glitch. Devs take note.

It's not so much a glitch really. Each character you create can start out as "Resistance" or "Security", but I tend to think of it as who I would support if I had to be one thing for all eternity. As far as playing online goes, you're still gaining experience towards leveling your character. Think of it another way: rather than choosing a side, then constantly tweaking your gameplay style and perks, you actually set up a perk/stat profile, and then choose a suitable skin for whatever storyline you're trying to run through.

no.
low level cap means less pointless grinding.


I love that Splash Damage have sense enough to realize how stupid too much grinding is.
Take your level 20 character and enjoy the gameplay, or use all 10 character slots followed by using them at level 20 for fun instead of xp.

Oh, I understand picking the factions and that all XP goes towards leveling the character. The problem is that the game won't let me play the Campaign for Resistance in online Versus mode with my first Security character. However, it will let me play the Campaign for Security in online Versus with my Resistance character. If I select my Security character, and highlight the Resistance Campaign Day 1 level and set it to Versus, when I hit "start" it jumps up and highlights the Security Day 1 level and starts the map. But it doesn't do that with my Resistance character (I played all of both campaigns in Online Versus mode with my Resistance character). I was able to play both the Resistance and Security campaigns with my Security character, but only in Solo mode.



I don't really consider it "senseless grinding." At level 20 you can set yourself up really well in one class. Then you'd have one nice class to use while you keep leveling up and unlocking abilities in your secondary classes. It would be nice to be able to have at least two classes with a bunch of abilities unlocked. I'm not even suggesting enough levels to max out all classes, just enough to set up at least one really nice class, and maybe second, or spread points around the other classes. I know you can set up a bunch of characters, but A) then you have to keep switching characters, and it does no good when you want to switch classes in a match, and B ) that means you have to level up multiple characters to level 20. Talk about "pointless grinding."
