All Specialist Gadgets/Abilities need to be nerfed or removed

All Specialist Gadgets/Abilities need to be nerfed or removed. They upset the rock-paper-scissor balance this franchise used to have. Most of them are cheap, mindless, no skill tools. Rao hack, Boris...

@Joe234567891011 I'd love to see specialist abilities de-emphasized considerably and acting more as "flavor skills" for their respective classes (since specialists are de-fact sub-classes) instead of the powerful abilities they are now. I'll lose my healing dart gun on Falck but I can live with that.

But alas that will likely never happen, so we'll have a perpetually impossible to balance game because DICE wants needless additional complexity that they don't have the skill to handle.

    @edgecrusherO0   I was rereading our exchange from last night and decided to make something you said into a post because I agree with you 100%. Specialist abilities should be de-emphasized.

    Sorry I got a little hostile yesterday.

      @Joe234567891011 All good dude. We're all on the same team of being disappointed with 2042 and wanting it to be better, even if we have some different ideas on what "better" means for each of us. We've got a lot more in common than not.

        I strongly agree with the sentiment that BF2042 leans the game more towards gadgetplay than gunplay and is worse because of it.

        Ranger and turrets are the greatest offenders, but I wouldn't put Rao's hacking ability in that same group.

        The hack offers a temporary status effect.  Smoke, flares also offer temporary status effects - would you put those in this same group?
