==Decals & The Decal Editor==
===What is it?===
*The player can unlock decal images that can be used to decorate certain items in-game:
**The player can also upload decal images to their profile through the THQ online portal
*An in-game decal editor allows the player to position, rotate, flip and scale the decal image to personalise how it will appear in-game
*Only a single image can be applied to an object at a time
*The player’s rank icon will also shown on their in-game character model:
===What is the Decal applied to?===
*Vehicles – As a large element on the sides of tanks or the doors of jeeps etc.
*Characters – In a prominent position such as chest-plate or arm
*MP Weapons – In a position that’s ideally also visible in 1st person
*Resistance Weapons (in SP)
== Character Parts ==
*The player can customise their MP character with a range of different ‘parts’
*Available parts:
**Gas mask
**Armour / Dressing (class-specific)
**Helmet (class-specific)
*These are purely cosmetic modifications and do not provide any gameplay benefit
== Weapon Skins ==
*Alternate texture skins for existing weapons including camouflage colouring and more exotic, Resistance-style graffiti dressings
*Purely cosmetic modifications to weapons (no gameplay modifiers)
*Unlocked as part of MP progression and also available through DLC

== Name Tag Image / Helmet Icon ==
*The player can unlock name tag images (personalisation icons)
*These are small icons designed as a form of expression – for players to define who they are as a player / person
*In addition to appearing as part of the player’s Battle Card, name tag icons could also appear on in-game character helmets, similar to NFL helmets

== Battle Card ==
*In HF2 MP every player has a Battle Card (perhaps visualised as id papers in the HF2 world fiction?) that shows their rank, total number of kills, and other TBD information (see below)
*Battle Cards can be viewed by players in the lobby and also appear on the death camera during gameplay
*Personalisation icons (see previous slide) also appear as part of the Battle Card
