I agree, but..
The specialists were made into 'clowns', instead of soldiers fighting a war. Dice set the tone to Fortnite instead of BF from the start. Even the 'specialist-makeover' didn't really do much, the specialists still look like characters from a bad cheap action movie.
We still have awful voiceovers about 'drinking 5 cups of coffee'.
Putting more 'war tone' into the game would probably feel out of place.
This is because 2042 is flawed at the very core. Its a hero type shooter.
Only when Orbital is in bad weather, at times, your getting real BF vibes. Had they focused on making it dark, climate and war torn, it would have been much better. Look at some of the early concept art. The Specialists looked amazing. They talked about next level destruction. 2042 is none of that. It still looks in some ways like a cartoon to me. And i miss Levolution. Every map is so static and boring. The storms dont do anything really. 2042 is one big missed opportunity. IMO.
