Absolutely horrible update, and entirely focused on the PC side of things as console is neglected.

With the introduction of class gadgets, I can't use it if I have grenades bound to the same button, unless I've used up my grenade, which would require wasting it in most cases. I automatically switch scopes when trying to change a different attachment, and I can't change the attachments of the primary weapon without switching to my secondary weapon first. Horrible update, console has been absolutely ignored for the favour of PC in this update


I now have 3 choices,
Do I use grenades on the up directional button, and prevent myself from being able to use class gadget?
Do I bind grenades to L1, allowing me to use both, but not being able to change attachments any longer in a practical way?
Or do I bind the attachment change button back to L1, preventing me from using either grenades or class gadget without wasting a grenade

This was a horrible implementation of yet another bind when controller layout is already maxed out on binds.

@Valbrandur I don't recall ever posting to this site, but I have to chime in.  I totally agree with you; the controller layout now makes zero sense.  I'm not sure what the solution is, but at the very least, they should allow for complete customization for controller so that anyone can make the controller whatever they prefer.  I like RB (I'm on Xbox) being grenade again, but the binds you mention are horrific. Please, DICE, just stop. I was enjoying this game again, and the button layout changes make it really hard to justify playing. I'll come back once that controller layout is fixed.
