Are wing suits and grapple hooks going to wreck the game
I personally don't like them and think they are going to be a really bad gimmick in the game

@Scotty-dre No because we had "grapple hooks" already in other Battlefield titles.
Grapple hooks (what I saw from leaks so far) seems to works similiar like the one from Apex Legends. It also does have a cooldown which seems okay.
The Wingsuit also doesn't seem overpowered, we already had in different Battlefield titles the parachute which somehow worked like a wingsuit with the different that you have now a better overview (in 3rd Person) for a short amount of time while gliding.
Just wait for the Beta, play the beta and see if it is to OP or not. But for now, no.

Fully agreed @CloudMcRip ,
The grapple hook I would more or less compare to the ladders/ledges we otherwise typically have had in the game, to climb up on various buldings, roofs, containers etc. What the grappling hook does better is of course it enables more creative gaming, so we can climb where we otherwise would not be able to do so, so think this is a great thing really!
For the wingsuit, then its not really a big gamechanger, versus aka the 'paraglider' style of parachutes we had in aka BF4. Though think we observed more speed and distance we now can fly with them versus just the standard paraglider chute. So also great, as it adds to the dynamic flow of the gameplay and ability to 'wingsuit' in behind the enemy frontlines! 🙂
The grapple hook was an excellent addition in BF2:SF and never considered as gamebreaking. I assume it won't break it this time either.

@infantrypeasant I agree and BF2SF was the first thing I thought of when I saw the grappling hook. Of course I'm not a fan of more verticality since it normally leads to a sniper infestation but we'll have to see how this all plays out now that DICE has thrown a large portion of the Battlefield formula out the window with specialists and no weapon restrictions.
