Any updates on Missing Features and Quality of Life improvements?(Listed within)

@Straatford87 New skins are nice but when are we going to see some major Quality of Life updates?   If "all hands are on deck" when can we expect to see a major QOL improvement patch?   Also what...

@Zhukov211 Locking people into classes and restricting loadouts isnt a QOL thing. It reduces QOL for a lot of players. It is too late to add classes and lock loadouts. We are almost 9 months into the game.

    @Psubondwhile you’re entitled to your opinion I’ll have to respectfully disagree. I’d think that by every imaginable quantifiable measurement, 2042 is hands down one of the most unpopular, worst performing games of the Battlefield franchise and was one of the lowest rated AAA releases in recent history. The hero shooter, trend chasing Specialists play a big part in that failure. 

    To suggest that the iconic Battlefield classes aren’t a big part of the formula of success for the most successful games of the franchise would be laughable. 

    As I stated, the comprehensive list was posted by someone else on Reddit months ago. I just added a few things that I felt were missing.

      And i think you are wrong.  I guarantee the vehicle situation will be way worse if you lock down classes they way they are in previous games.  I dont agree that locking down classes will fix anything, it only serves the control fetish people have

        @PsubondBF4 Engineer disagrees. You can carry 6 AT mines or 6 SLAM mines or 2 AA mines and 4 RPGs per Engineer with the right perk. An RPG that can one shot any aircraft in game.

        Carry that same lethality over to 2042 I don’t think your theory checks out my friend.

      @Zhukov211 They'd need to double the number of available weapons if we want locked classes with weapon restrictions.

      Do you honestly think the current team at DICE can just double the number of weapons in AOW in a month or something? It's been almost 2 months since they announced that "a few" Portal weapons were coming to AOW and we haven't heard anything since then.

      I don't know about you, but I don't want to be stuck with like 6-7 weapon options when playing a class because DICE gutted the number of weapons the game launched with.

        An option for me to lock weapon loadout to a specialist would be fine by me. Others can just have it off.

        I don’t understand why they didn’t just add a new class. Called specialist. 

        assault (medic)

        engineer

        support

        recon

        specialist

        and introduced some of the new weapons features as a third tier of items, in the Rock Paper Scissors fashion.

        engineer/ support could have had additional choice of robot dog or sentry fun.

        Specialist/ sniper could have had, skydive/beacon/grapple

        assault/specialist could have had grapple/medic/call-in/hacking

        personally, with better options I could create these combos I guess. 

        biggest thing for me is ability to manage squads/ and play on persistent servers with better map rotations. I guess portal will eventually do that with XP given and hardcore mode. Until it does, it’s stayingnunisntalled.
