I for one enjoy the freedom the specialist bring to the game. When I play the older BF games the classes seem so restrictive.
@CantGetRighteach to thier own mate, if you enjoy it then more power to you, but the majority dont and is also part reason why 2042 is in the dire circumstance that it is.
the classes and its restrictions is what encourages squad and teamplay and is the basis for a Battlefield game. Each brings their own and gel to form a good squad each with their own gadgets etc and having that comradery of having to rely on each other. Also the feeling that you are just a soldier in a war is what helps make Battlefield, none of this semi-hero solo play style malarky.
My friends wont even touch 2042 because of the specialists (and other reasons but a big part is the specialists) I am the only one who plays it. In 2042 there is no feeling of needing a squadmate other than to spawn on them. They literally stripped any enthusiasm and necessity to play as a squad. The specialists are made for solo gameplay.
And the abilities are not needed, BF is not about wallhacks, crazy medical pew pew guns, auto turrets, wingsuits etc. Its just not Battlefield
Dont get me wrong the game is fun for what it is, but its not BF fun, and I dont consider this a Battlefield game but in name only
