Battlefield 2042 Factions

Hi Folks, long time veteran of the series. 

Having been through the launch and early access of 2042 (currently level 80) I have some worries. 

Mainly the No-pats, I'm fine with who they are as characters, but Its really starting to break the immersion for me seeing exact copies everywhere on both sides. Is there any chance in the future we could have a feature implemented to equip skins for American No-pats and Skins for Russian No-pats. 

As an example: I select Sundance, upon entering the outfit selection UI I can choose to equip an American Sundance and a Russian Sundance skin. When entering a match, my skin will load according to the side I am paired with and the selected skin I assigned to that side. 

You could make money, It wouldn't be taking away from the characters identity. You could have Americans skins themed to be more Liberal and gimmicky (which is a good thing, shows what their fighting for) and then the Russia skins could be more dark and menacing. 

You could do any theme you want for each faction what ever fits best in the universe of 2042, again these are just examples but having clear uniforms for each Factions could be a massive step in the right direction. 

Please guys I need something, someone official. I can't take this game seriously anymore. I believe in it though, I know it can make the come back. I think this could be a great start. 

And if you want to hire me and let me help I'd love to do that too, I've been playing since 1942 and I've just got my 2:1 degree in Games design from Falmouth Games Academy. I even wrote my thesis on BFV. 

I really need to know, if its on the table. I love this series and as a games designer myself I can't see this being impossible, offensive, or taking away from the work and establishment of the characters. I believe it could have a really positive effect on both  the community and the reputation of battlefield.

  • The whole gimmick of no-pats fighting is totally flawed anyway, as we are in every single game round being assigned either to a Russian or to a USA side.  So why not adhere to the same looking uniforms.  Its plain silly and just another bad excuse for trying to sell us on the super hero and MTX skins monetization scheme...
