I’ll go for both. Horray for Non-Biasism. 
(I doubt that statement would remain true in any possible way after I get to know what scum the Rebels/Security are)
What side are you on?

Basically, when you’re going through a campaign, team swapping it turned off. 
It’s the only way to have the whole thing make any kind of predictable sense to players.
However, you don’t have to play through the campaigns if you don’t want. They’re totally there as a suggestion. So if you opt out of the campaign storyline structure, then you can hop sides. And becuase you’ve opted out of maintaining the campaign structure, it’s no big deal if you get yanked around by your friends, who are still in it.

I hope when you create a character you are not stuck on either side. If we’re going to have a server for Brink as an admin I’d like to be able to change sides to help balance things out.

Good.
P.S. Just watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas again, mind blowing… As your attorney I advice you to keep up the good work, HAHA!!

I’ll probably try both sides, but I’m leaning towards Security as a small favourite. Ragged geurilla-style is cool enough, but I’ll rather have style and high-tech equipment.

rebel for starters, most likely, then after I get a feel for the game I’ll probably be playing different sides depending on the campaign/map… for I have preferences =P (atk vs def)

[QUOTE=Rahdo;204835]Both sides will have an equal number of offense and defense maps in Brink.
A part of customization can still be seen here: http://www.bluegamer.net/2009/08/14/brink-customization-videos/ Bear in mind, that was a totally bogus interface we threw together very quickly for E3. Not representative of the real deal.
The real deal is basically, when you first create a character, you choose stuff about him that’s permanent, which you can’t change later (skin colour, voice, face, tattoos & scars). Afterwards, you get to choose two outfits for him: one that he’ll wear when he’s playing in a security team, and one when he’s in a resistance team.
Then, as you’re playing through either campaign, you’ll always see him in his appropriate outfit. If you’re not playing through a campaign and are just jumping into specific matches, he’ll again be in one of those two outfits. You can unlock new clothes and stuff to change his look, but your character always has these 2 outfits he wears.
If you have multiple characters, the same is true for each one of them.[/QUOTE]
are all the permanent options (voice, face, tattoos, scars, etc) available from the very beginning, or will you unlock a sweet tattoo later in the game and be like “aw… man…”?
curious as to how it works. i like the idea of permanent stuff, but at the same time, if i unlock something sweet later on and i’m unable to use it, i’ll be pretty bummed.

Paul said the way you unlock weapons and customization stuff (attachments and character options), is by completing challenges. Voice and face will all be available from the start, I would think. tattoos are something that you can unlock, so don’t apply one until you can see them all.

Would be cool if you could like upload a tattoo which you can share with your clan mates and they all wear it.
(Or maybe not a tattoo cause they might get kicked of the clan and the tattoo is permanent, right?)
So maybe a clan icon which they can all wear on their clothes?
