I had a similar opinion in another post, where i stated:
"
First of all, i believe there is a missconception about classes and generic soldiers. Many people is asking for the return of normal classes, but others (including myself) are just saying that we need generic soldiers with unlock weapons and accesories but not attached to a specific person (like Boris,Maria Falck, Wikus, etc) because that breaks the inmersion A LOT. And it doesnt get fix with more cosmetics because the problem remains, it's just clones with different costumes
Many players did propose many solutions: personalised soldiers, coexisting generic soldiers and operators. And all are great options. I took some of them and here i'm just expresing my idea:
On one hand, you can have generic soldiers with customization options and, in the other hand, you can have specialists like special forces or some sort of "heroes" like SW battlefront heroes but with a more realistic aproach.
- The generic soldiers could have normal health and armor and will lack of the specialist gadget. They may have a trait to give them some difference between them. They could choose any weapons grenades and traits.
- The specialist will have specialist gadget and could have more HP and armor. They could work as heroes and any players could choose them if available (like vehicles) in BF, you can have one per team or you can make them per faction, eliminating any chance of clones in the game. This make sense because there are 10 specialist planned at launch and others 4 just with the first DLC. In a year you can have easily 20 specialist making very easy to choose one
