Class re-rework
I know that the hero/class rework hasn't even launched yet but I am just wondering. Is it possible to separate the support class and medic class? It makes no sense having one class having the duties ...

@ace_wolf08If classes had been part of the game from the beginning, it would have been great. Bringing them in after a year is going to be a major pain in the rear. I may be trying to T1 a specialist and a particular weapon, but I may not be able to do both at the same time anymore as a character may no longer be able to use the weapon I want to level up. This particular change is going to break more that it fixes, just you watch.
@ATFGunr Any specialist can still equip any weapon though
- @UP_LordPlumber I could SA wear I read that weapons will be limited to certain classes. I’m at work (I know) so can’t search for it. I’d be happy to be wrong.
No, I wish though hut ' for now' they are just class locking the gadgets. They are adding some sort of weapon proficiency to class specific weapons. Like recons using sniper rifles, they get to hold their breathe longer..
To answer the other person's question, I honestly can't say, I just know for me, having class locked weapons with gadgets just feels right. This whole create a class just feels too much like CoD to me...and doesn't sit well with me.
I would be completely fine if they tweaked the classes where certain classes got different weapons then normal.
Course the real issue is the insanely low amount of weapons in this title. I mean, for now...with the low amount of weapons, they couldn't make a decent class locked weapons list.
Medics could get carbines instead of ARs, so they don't get the ' best ' weapon type. ARs could be thrown into the universal weapons pool, like BF4 had.
Or they could change it up a bit, where classes got two types of class weapons ' shrugs' bit that could be further down the road.
My main issue ATM is support not having to sling medical and resupply team mates and having two classes that technically were made to deal with vehicles. We don't need assault while we have engineer class but we DO need a medic class.
What we have so many been asking for since before the BF2042 launch is to rid of those silly super heros and instead have the classic BF soldier classes instead. Think about e.g. the old but good BF4 soldier classes and sub classes, because that is were essentially now BF2042 and the super heros could simply adopt towards.
In BF4, we had the 4 classes but inside each of these, you could still choose what specialization on top, which would be maxed out and rewarded through collaborative team and squad gameplay. Exactly what makes Battlefield extra fun and special and what is still absent in BF2042.
E.g. in BF4 you had these classes and sub-specializations:
Assault:
- Defensive
- Shadow
- Offensive
- Combat Medic
- Grenadier
Support:
- Defensive
- Shadow
- Offensive
- Indirect Fire
- Perimeter Defense
Engineer:
- Defensive
- Shadow
- Offensive
- Mechanic
- Anti-Tank
Recon:
- Defensive
- Shadow
- Offensive
- Special Ops
- Sniper
So can we please stop having to use those silly first name heros and instead use relevant and much more meaningful Battlefield military references instead for how we want to loadout our soldier!
