2042 AOW - portal soldier classes to compliment the speciali

seems like same side is against same side at the moment especially when you’ve just played same map twice 1st you were US the next your Russia it leaves you questioning it since ya using the same characters as you did the previous round.

And so It could do with Russian soldiers like those over at Portal as playable classes ,people would play them and so would make for variation and also make it seem like your atleast at war with another faction.

  • So lets see:

    KIMBLE “IRISH” GRAVES – US America

    WEBSTER MACKAY – Canada

    MARIA FALCK – Germany

    PYOTR "BORIS" GUSKOVSKY - Russia

    WIKUS "CASPER" VAN DAELE – South Africa

    NAVIN RAO - India

    EMMA "SUNDANCE" ROSIER - France

    SANTIAGO "DOZER" ESPINOZA - Mexica

    CONSTANTIN "ANGEL" ANGHEL – Romania

    JI-SOO PAIK – South Korea

    There are only 1 US American Specialist and 1 Russian Specialist the rest is from all over the world not only America 😉

    Have read the lore? USA and Russia are the only factions that left after the earth is going crazy.

    The People who lost their nation due to the catastrophes are fighting for one or the other to survive as mercenaries.

    So, at the moment we have specialist from a different countries (and only one from each country!) so it would not make sense to request a Russian specialist (which we already have) or an American specialist or even mix it with the old classes.

    So, we have a multicultural mix here^^ Which in my humble opinion is nice ^^

    Also, they speak in the language you play in, if you play in English they have English voice lines, if you play in German, you have German voice line and so on, there are only some few parts whcih are in their mother tong.

    To make it fancy I would more request an option for their voice, so that every specialist speaks in their native language ^^

    Also, the Specialist are here to stay (what EA already mentioned) and in my opinion they are a better solution as the class system. You can build you own class with freedom of choice in weapon and tool

    See you on the Battlefield

    @CountSeroThanks for the clarification. Don’t get me wrong man I like the specialists and each of their individual vibes… But it gotta still feel like the two sides at war is all

    @SillyCybthey have planned at least 4 new Specialist so let’s see what will come,

    Maybe DICE will suprise us and bring more specialist

    And yes, in know what is you intention is but what is about the other nations than?  So, you can't please everyone and I thin the specialist system as it is, is a good choice

    @CountSerosure when you play as Russia the comms bloke is Russian and the women announcing at the start of the match , but it still the same guys and gals ya used when you was US that fight against eachother breaking the illusion of the two sides actually at war .

    Should of split the group into 2 and formed 2 sets of specialists US and russian.. ya should bring in 10 Russian Ops now ;-) so when your russia your actually a certain Russian Op instead of Mackay get what I’m Sayin ? I like playing as Russia equally but when I am it just don’t feel as though you are 

    And when your US the only thing that helps it a drift is they have implemented Russian voice overs that you hear when your the opposite  team - but when you know it’s coming from mackay or angel or anyone else you just downed your a bit miffed by it , so that’s why I though just adding playable Russian and US classes normal soldiers (if you ain’t going to make a set of Russian specialists) to compliment the huge mix of 128 mix of Ops from a choice of 10.. I know they’ll be adding more , but it still gotta feel like these two sides are actually at war so there’s a danger of distorting and contorting the illusion and the actual point of it 

  • @CountSero provide people the choice add some variation to the theatre of AOW otherwise you play a map like kaleidoscope and it’s just SunDancer vs SunDancer (as great as that can be don’t get it twisted) or manifest mackay vs mackay…exaggerating but you get my drift.  

    When soldiers are masked up like those Russian American ones from older bf games and geared up they did a good job at providing the illusion of many, even though they’re mostly the same models under it.

  • They could just let us use the bot skins with class distinctions.

    The bots look so much more approriate to the setting.

    They would definitely compliment the setting 

    with 128 players it’s sort of needed atleast for now Fixed Russian engineers and so on when you play as Russia would just be nice to see , out of 64 players you’ll get a bunch choosing the class and I would to from time to time just so I can hear my character actually speak Russian when i request for backup and not Mackay or something else that doesn’t fit the Russian vibe 

    either that as i say create 10 Russian specialists and others across the world that are on the Russian side so that then you can split them into 2 sides USvsRU 

    Devs probably had a lot more planned like the above to offer from beginning if a pandemic hadn't hindered everything. On the side of caution without not really knowing how it effected progress in 2020/2021.
