On The Fly...

Ok, so I understand that you can change you class mid match, and that you can level up your overall character just by playing, due to the fact that you are keeping the same character through the entire game....

That being said, knowing that you can have several characters lined up, I believe it was 10, does that mean that you really just have 10 different load outs that you can change between matches? Or do you have 10 seperate characters that level individually?

I know that you can tweak your character between matches etc. And can you change your characters weight between matches as well?

It is good to know these things before starting game play, so I know how to change things on the move, and to stay ahead of the curve.

I believe you can have multiple load outs saved to a single character. And you can choose a different character between games i believe.

If you look at some of the newer videos, it seems to me that you can pick any weapon you want from the main control point.

I don't know if that is just the start of the matches, or if it is just a thing that they devs made possible for those videos.

Originally, you couldn't change body type between games, but now you can. Apparently.

And weapon loadouts have been scrapped - you customise your weapons, then get to pick any primary and any secondary you want when you're at a CP.

Characters are entirely independent of one another, leveling up and having completely separate sets of abilities they unlock independently of one another. They did have the ability to transfer XP between characters, but it didn't stay in.

Each character levels individually. That allows you to "learn" different abilities with each character.
There are no weapon-load-outs per se, as obliviondoll has pointed out.

The bodytype/-size of your character and your character itself can be changed between Freeplay and Stopwatch matches, I guess. In Campaign, you'd see a cutscene and I guess you're supposed to stay with that one character.

Might be odd... But I wouldn't actually want an option to change body type between matches. (fair play in free-play and stuff though)

I think it'll make people choose more carefully about who they play, and all in all, probably better at whatever body they end up settling with.
The perfect thing for me, would be a kind of testing level range, where you could change, like 1-5 maybe, and above that you're stuck with whatever type you choose.
