This reasoning genuinely baffles me.....

You are perfectly happy to have 4 identical character models in earlier games but 10 identical models is weird because they have a name?

Really?

Yes, really. Playing as a nameless soldier is one thing. 128 players sharing 10 unique identities and backstories is just strange. 

@Trokey66 It has something to do with immersion. The first is that at that time it wasn't a big thing to implement an avatar system. though such a system is the dream for every game that is multiplayer. 
When playing at that time the Unknown soldier is fighting for the faction. So you were either faction x or y. This is being removed by giving the players are a certain hero with a story. so when you join the game you are playing this hero not "yourself". the lore also remove any feeling of faction loyalty since we are all no-pats now or PMC as they truly are. 

I will bet that spec system will be these heroes with different skins through battle passes. same as warzone and apex. Its going to be a pain in the å** when the enemy team also like identical too the ones own faction..

My wish would have them make an avatar system where you could customize your soldier but with a limitation to the faction, they are fighting under for unit cohesion.
