Speak for yourself, I want them as I can see they solve a few issues in the old BF system.
1. Weapons being more accessible. To perform a function without being restricted to a range.
2. It removes the 2 tier players Killer or Support. In BF it has become 3 classes supporting the single action man.
3. Better balance. Look at traditional Medic gadgets giving a heal gun(replaces bandages) and revive tool, so what else should they be allowed to have; Smoke launcher and Medkit then what? When does medic class uniuqeness end when compared to others. Who gets what gadget: sentry gun, wingsuit, grappling hook, ammo, RPG, drone....
This is on top of abilities that often get set once or left as default.
4. Better expansion. New gadgets could be ironman suite, skis, SCUBA, NVG, mortar, UUV, UWV ..... Without causing massive advantage to a single class.
5. Easier classification. As for character names that is easy classification method. Think about it having the title Advance Medic and then add a new title Battle Medic. How will these be called by the community? Medic A and Medic B, old medic or new medic, so why not Maria or Greg.
6. Customization. OMG for over 20 years some BF players have been asking and DICE have been upfront about, now you say we don't need because you don't want MTX. So a company is no longer allowed to make money. You...Audio not available.
7. What core BF principle is this deviating from. As it looks to me that this is actual the first major step towards the core infantry sandbox.
