There are Archetypes not included there. The Eel, The Voice and The Lost for starters...

Most then, Hard to find full pics of those later additions.

I couldn't find an all-yellow Bug... but I did find a heavy guy with what looked like Good Cop clothes and a Bug mask in yellow/orange, blue and black. Looked totally bad-ass.

I doubt there will be a lack of customization options for either side. There are thousands of different clothing combinations and color schemes.

Patterns and Colours are tied together.


If this was true, there was no need for red nuclear sticky waste.

His question was if there was sweatpants, I showed him what I could find on the site, and some of them look like sweatpants, which I feel like answers the question, no?

It is true. The rim lighting you are talking about, is for players who are farther away - it dissipates, and eventually disappears completely the closer players get - this is when the color schemes come into play. You know, when they are actually close enough to be effective.

I know how it works.
And as the videos suggest, "close enough to be effective" is when you can see the white in their eyes.


Really, why does BRINK want it and hundreds of other games don't even give you the option to have it?
Team Fortress has the exact same models on each side, but blu and red.
Counter-Strke has different models on each side with their own colouring.
Call of Duty has sometimes more, sometimes less different looking models on each side with sometimes more, sometimes less different colour schemes.
Halo has the same models with different colouring.

And all those games work perfectly fine.

No, you don't have to be that close - Players who have played the game say differently.



TF2 uses standard red and blue along with distinguishable silhouettes for all its characters
CS has different models static models on each side, and again, blue and red
COD I'm not too familiar with, but I know it doesn't have extensive CC, and uses a pretty standard method of distinguishing players.
Halo again uses standard colors per team, to distinguish players.

Brink offers full character customization - colors and appearance.
- The blue and red bit won't work, since the teams aren't comprised of just blue and red
- Both sides have access to all body types, so at a glance, the shape/size of a player can be the same, especially at a distance.

Choosing to use rim lighting along with the color schemes for each sides, make the process as a whole better in Brink's situation, with the amount CC in the game. It produces the same results as choosing to do blue and red, or use nameplates or use completely different static models for each side - they just chose a different method. I don't see a problem with it, and funny enough, the players that seem to complain about are the ones that haven't played the game. I have read hands-on experiences from players that recently played it at PAX, and they said no one seemed (including themselves) to complain about it.
