And apparently you missed the part about also carrying 2 AA mines. Do you even know what those are and how they work?

Yep.  I know how they work, i have specifically hunted vehicles since battlefield 2.  i guess i missed the patch that added them to 2042.  

You can argue that YOU want to control how people play through classes and thar YOU would prefer it, but you can't argue that it would improve the game or bring players back because you cant prove that.  but it doesnt matter.  What you posted is merely a wish list and i dont think the people who have a control fetish in regards to locking down loadouts will get what they want.  Specialists arent going away, they are there for micro transactions

@PsubondBro stop making this about me. How silly. I’m echoing the sentiment of the hundreds of thousands of Battlefield fans world wide. Don’t slay the messenger.

And again, it’s not my list. There are dozens of similar lists out there from various gaming publications, game reviewers, streamers and players from around the world all covering the same missing features. 

June 21, 2022:

"So we want to improve the core gameplay experience and that is what we have focused on.”

“..it's important for us to improve Battlefield 2042 and the experience that we can provide to our players. We owe them that."

“..considering the negative reaction to 2042, it must have been tempting to draw a line under the game and simply move on. But ****** insists that was never an option.”

“As I said, we owe it to our players."

"We are only focusing on Battlefield 2042. There is no time for anything else and this is what we want to do.”

“We’re completely focused on Battlefield 2042. The majority of the team here, plus our colleagues over at Ripple Effect, are focused on Battlefield 2042. We owe that to our community, to our players, “

WHERE IS THE CONTENT?  WHERE IS THE COMMUNICATION?

A class is essentially just limiting certain primary guns to certain gadgets or certain gadget/ability combos.

For primary/gadget pairings I do not see what problem needs to be solved. For this classes are a solution to a problem that does not exist.

With primaries/gadgets I'm not seeing any sort of OP synergy that needs to be avoided.  I'm sure we've seen nearly every combo possible in BF over the years - even the extreme case of no primary and gadget only for the BF1942 Anti-armor class.

BFV Semi-auto rifle = Anti-armor class

BF1 Semi-auto rifle = Medic class

BF4 Semi-auto rifle = All classes

BF3 Semi-auto rifle = Recon

For gadget/gadget or gadget/ability combos I agree there are problematic pairings, but do not see classes as the solution. I'd rather those pairing be dealt with case by case, such as Lis with the M5.  

Other than C5+wing suit what other problematic pairings are in BF2042?  Wouldn't it just be easier to limit Sundance to (2 ) C5 to solve that problem than bring back classes?

What problem does my LMG+Rao+Spawn Beacon create?

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.

There's truly no reason for "classes". Specialists does work fine, and while people make plenty of noise over the matter, they are absolutely misguided as to what mechanics have hindered BF2042.

If you were to remove specialists entirely and implement ANY form of class system similar to prior titles, the game would fail just as miserably, and even more so.

The issues are the lack of performance, lack of polish, abundance of bugs, and most importantly, HORRIBLE MAPS WITH HUGE OPEN SPACES.

Classes do not fix any of that, not in the slightest.

Instead, as stated above, they limit our playstyle. I assure you we'll get bored of playing assault with SMGs-only on huge open maps for the sake of anti-vehicle explosives. Or would you call that class "Engineer"? Changing the name doesn't fix the issue.

Breakthrough exposure, and you want to lock specialists to a class format? Irish, Falk, Dozer, Rao Mackay, and Liz are all absolute essentials in that map & mode. Sundance is also a high recommendation. Teams lacking these specialists suffer SEVERELY. For lack of Irish, I've seen entire teams wiped in under 2 minutes entirely by grenades alone. Don't go locking players out of essential classes just because the weaponry / gadgets are useless in their circumstance.

There's no justification for class limitations. Specialists already have specific roles creating heavier teamplay than classes ever did - something gadget-freedom also contributes towards. If you want to lock things down for yourself, you've already always been able to with the customizable loadout options. In what world must one live in, to think less freedom is better, or that less options makes for better play? Try removing  your ASD keys, and only use W henceforth; you'll quickly appreciate alternative options.
