Buying what ? He said nothing but a single sentence .. That X and Y will interpret the way they want . ALso the guy is a " narative " director and not a gameplay director . Also if they were to change fundamentally the game inside the base game .. they will loose all the millions players who play the game everyday and love it .. They cannot fundamentally change the game at this point .. All they can do is a better job for it to make sens ..
Like remooving corny lines at the end of the match . Making specialist more serious and more enbedded into the game to make more sens and look more like the exodus type of thing .. But specialist and loadout system of the base game is here to stay and its not a narative director who would change any of that . But if he could make specialist more grounded and less corny it would be appreciated .. if they can evolve the narative and world to be better then it will be a welcome change ..
If they can create some somewhat story driven stuff that enhance the game or create some more unique game modes etc.. it would be amasing .
But peoples interpret whatever they want from a single sentence and those interpretation are wrong and bias left and right ..
BF2042 is the work of hundreads of peoples and designers . and after playing a lot and i can say a lot nearly 350 hours now and having play every single BF games ever . I can stand behind the change and the specialist and loadout system . Its simply better than the old system .
What need to improove from a design perspective is LObby size to matchmake .. Team composition we need 16 players lobby combosed of 4 squads of 4 , We need a commander or OIC with VOIP broadcast , we need command VOIP chanels to coordinate with other willing platoons /squads etc.. this is what is lacking in the battlefield franchise since matchmaking was introduced in Bad company 1 .. Since then the game was focused on 4 man squad only gameplay wich as created more individualisme or more " squad individualisme " and as decreased team cohesion .
If we can have this below in BF a command structure and system similar to MAG and bigger lobby , BF2042 teamplay and BF as a franchise teamplay will be in a better place than ever before in its history

@Stew360 pointing out that i interpret too much from one sentence and then interpreting just as much out of my sentence, you sir are a treat to deal with at any step.... but i guess that is just who you are....
your stance on the loadout system has been noted and if you like it go, my statement literally never mentioned anything about that here....
all i said is we have had the same talk and statement from people working on BFV for example and the moment they said it they tossed all the promises to the curb and kept digging their hole deeper and deeper....

I was not refering to your own statement but to the dozens of videos one of wich is linked into the OP . Where peoples think as if he was agreeing with them on the whole " classes vs specialist " debate and so many unrelated topic ..
The guy is responsible for the narative and integration in the game .. He is not a designer for game mechanics but more of someones who draw inspiration and context where devs and designers create mechanics around ... Like i said the only thing he as agree on was that the game shouldnt feel like a " Circus " and i hope he also agree that the current corny lines specialist does should be remooved or changed ...
that more story driven stuff should be introduce giving context to new modes or to create the " TITAN " mode context and justification leading to 2142 iceage type of stuff .. the Final stand BF4 DLC had 2142 " prototype and a titan under construction .. all this lore could be used to serve BF2042 and remoove cornyness and not regress the gameplay back to worst ..In this BF4 Map from Final stand you had 2142 Tiitan under construction in the hangard i hope we will see drop pods and titan eventually comming out with amasing narative driven sequence to introduce them
And here the titan mode if you are unfamiliar with it
- @Stew360 I hope you are right. My bold prediction was that they will add Titan mode and connections to 2142 with a year one rebrand. But I have a feeling that's wishing for too much.
If they indeed to this, I'll be there for sure.
