DICE TeamI personally don't mind specialists but I thought of a potential compromise that you could do depending o if you like the idea or think it's too risky. In the trailer you had scenes displaying regular default looking soldiers along side each individual specialist. This reminded me of Star Wars battlefront 2 where you could have heroes and soldiers in game modes like galactic assault, capital supremacy, etc.... What if you made a similar design choice for 2042 where people would spawn is as default soldiers like the AI which can make for those who miss it feel like they are one soldier trying to make a difference agin by playing their specific role; while still keeping specialists but involving them in a more strategic way so they are used to assist in shaping the battle instead of being the main focus. If you'd like you could even operate certain specialists to certain items so every team has a specialist whose a medic type, assault type, engineer type, support type, or recon type. You wouldn't have to make it like battlefront 2 entirely with the points system but more like picking a vehicle and only one of each can be spawned in. If you wanted you could even make it where they aren't available to deploy until all objectives are captured on the map and then they're unlocked. If not that then add the ability to do both since this game was about having freedom of choice so you could add classes into the game as well and just choose which one you want if you even want it at all. Also as a side note would it be possible to have more specific restrictions for portal in regards to leveling up. What I mean is we can't currently play hardcore at all and hardcore was a big deal not only for me but many in the community. So could you potentially make it to where full xp is given as long as you don't have Ai's in the match to avoid xp boosting and weapon farming. Thank you for reading this or not depending if I'm too late and regardless whatever you'll do the game will be fine. This isn't the first time you've pulled a comeback so I believe in you guys.
