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.
Well, unfortunately, this new class rework is still keeping weapons to be all universal. It is just if you are using the correct weapon for a certain class, then you get a boost in performance with that weapon or ability somehow. Like recon using a sniper rifle and being able to hold your breath longer. I think support gets a quicker deploy time with the bipod? Idk.
Personally, I prefer class locked weapons...because, just like having class locked gadgets, it better helps define the class and the role they are meant to play as within the match.
While this rework is a small, itsy bitsy, step in the right direction. It might not be enough to draw in those of us that refuse to play a hero shooter..
It might be enough to peak our curiosity, I know I am going to try it out on the PS4 when it comes out on EA play....but, it might not be enough to keep us.
Most likely I will just fall back into Portal and play with the BF3 factions but sadly....there isn't enough content there to make it worth wild. All of their weapons and gadgets are already unlocked, not enough vehicles to pick from..or weapons or gadgets. Certainly not enough classic ' legacy maps...which is for now, they play just as well on the 2042 maps. But they also don't get to use any of the new weapons, vehicles or gadgets...so..that's a bummer.
Plus they are stuck using the 2042 class method of sticking you with a gadget slot that is locked and pre picked for you and just one open gadget slot to pick from...not cool...

This statement seems to imply you think some roles weren't getting filled by the original BF2042 approach.
Which roles aren't getting filled in BF2042 currently?
If you want to argue for class locked weapons because you like the role playing element I can accept that.
I have a harder time accepting the idea that class locked weapons will 'solve' an issue with under/over used roles.
Consider that any under used roles we have currently are likely because that role isn't much fun. Forcing weapons to get people to play unfun roles doesn't seem like the right approach.
