The Character Customization Menu
There have been three character customization menus seen so far.
The earliest one, as seen in the earliest Brink videos, used a little hand-held touch device like the one the Operatives use and the background is a dynamic Container City theme.
A new and improved version was revealed at E3 2010. It has a fixed white background and a circular menu that kind of looks like a large objective wheel.
The latest variation of the Character Customization menu, shown in trailers such as A Choir of Guns and A Matter of Class, is not much different from the E3 2010 version. This one replaces the circular menu with a translucent black sidebar, and all customization choices are simply listed.
