i'm still in the dark in certain areas regarding customisation and multiple characters and how abilities are spread out.
will all the scars and tatoos be available at the start of the game. I've heard that you cannot remove tattoos and scars so how does that work if i unlock new ones later on but cant remove the old one to use the new ones?

can i make multiple characters at anytime in the game and will they just use the same xp level that i have accumulated so far in the game? by multiple characters i mean there complete visual look not there class type.

when i get xp can i spread it over the 4 class types so that the same character will be able to do several class type tasks but without having to change my class type at control point? so that i could heal someone (that's a medics job) then go and plant a mine (that's a engineers job) but i have not changed class? i take it you can only do a medics job if you've selected a medics class and an engineers job when you've changed to an engineer class.

All tattoos and scars are unlocked from the start it seems

You can make 10 different characters (look-wise and ability-wise)

You have to level each character personally with them, you can't transer levels/EXP from one to another

When you level you get 1 Ability Credit, you can use this Ability Credit to buy an ability, from either tree

As you go up in Rank you will earn new abilities

RANK1: 0-4
RANK2: 5-9
RANK3: 10-14
RANK4: 15-20

If you choose to be a Engineer you can only do the Engineer objectives, and your Engineer abilities will get activated, if you later go to a command post and change you will lose the Engineer abilities and the class' abilities you choose will get activated

Universal abilities are on all the time, and I believe they're always passive

ok.
as far as i know, tattoos and scars are ALL unlocked from the beginning.
you can have 10 characters, but can only switch between them between matches.
and xp is not shared, although if you unlock something on one character, then it is unlocked for all of your characters.
you can spread your abilites around clases, but you must switch to that class at a CP to use it's ablities.

EDIT: :ninja:'d

From the customization videos ive seen, tatoos are changeable... but im no expert.

actually, some universal abilities are active, like Downed Fire, Sprinting Reload, Grenade Shooting, etc.

muchness of thankness for that guys

You're welcome, Helpmeout

Sure, what do you need help with? BAW HAW HAW

Schwarzeffwfds, you are a scholar.

I think all tatoos and scars are there at the beginning... and both are permanent, just in case it has not been covered

'Tis true, you don't have to choose when you create a character and can apply them at any point you like, but once applied they're stuck there for good. If you wind up hating them you'll have to delete your character.

I foresee many topics and rages surfacing because of this... :unsure2:
