This class system limits you. What if your on a squad and your team doesn’t run ammo boxes, now your stuck running around looking for ammo to replenish your rockets. Or what if your angel or Casper you have no way of defending yourself against heavy armor or light armor. I am a fan of battlefield. Been playing since bad company, but when 2042 came out it changed everything. At first you can either run with your squad or go solo. But now it’s forcing you to be a team player. Which is not kool, everyone has different ways of playing. Some like working as a team, others like to go on there own path. And you have completely destroyed that with the class system.

@Hellhound88 You're complaining about team work in a team work game. Maybe Battlefield isn't for you

@Hellhound88 god forbid that you need a team in a teambased shooter....call me shocketh.....if your team lacks a certain element, be it ammo, healing, spotting or AT you have all the tools at oyur disposale to help said team by filling that hole. i know its a very difficult concept to grasp but teamplay starts with you.

It does suck for Engineers, who are already a terrible class as it is. The lack of resupply options makes them even worse. At a minimum, there should be resupply points at your spawn (in BT and Rush) and at key objectives in Conquest.

@DPsx7That is subjective.Here is my own subjective opinionWhile I was never perfectly happy with classes in the past due to the weapon restrictions, I am finally happy with the way they re introduced the classes in 2042.Battlefield like you said is a franchise and franchises have defining characteristics that got to be respected, less they lose the appeal of the franchise brand.The original 2042 has a legion of franchise violations already. When you go to a Kentucky Fried chicken, you expect breaded fried chicken and not breaded and fried crickets.If the game is not running optimally with classes right now is partly due to needed more rebalancing to make all classes good enough, it also needs players to adjust to it after learning to play in another way

@Adamonic100% this, BF2042 definitely needs resupply points, in my experience I rarely see ammo boxes these days and never see Angel's crate.

The class system has always failed at forcing players to use teamwork. Which is why as predicted squads are mostly still a disjointed mess no different from how they were post class patch in BF2042 or in previous Battlefield games.

Because the class system setting of 2042 is different from other Battlefield series
Support soldiers can be equipped with Ammo Crate , Medical Crate , Smoke Grenade Launcher, M18 Claymore, because the equipment can be changed so that the support soldiers you see are not necessarily carrying ammo boxes.

Several improvements can be thought of.
1. resupply points
Hopefully the vehicle ammo limit will be increased as well.

2. Remove support soldiers who can equip Medical Crate , Smoke Grenade Launcher, M18 Claymore
Assault returns to be able to equip a medical kit?
Added that players can directly press F on the support soldier to get the ammunition by themselves.

Another problem is destroying vehicles
Before implementing the class system, I felt that not many people would equip ammo boxes. But I could see a lot of Angel's crates.
Vehicles can be destroyed very easily since everyone can equip anti-vehicle weapons.

Destroying vehicles after implementing the class system is one of the main problems at present. Can a single person easily destroy vehicles? How to cooperate with teammates to destroy vehicles?

I really don't know how to improve this situation.
The way I can think of is vehicle ammo limit to reduce the continuous threat of the vehicle to the area, and reduce the camping vehicle. The vehicle must be replenished with ammo at the supply station

Vehicle part damage rate, when the track or wheel of the vehicle is damaged it can cause him to be unable to move or move extremely slowly. But hitting the track or wheel will only cause 50% of the original damage or less damage.

BTW I like the class system, but the class system of 2042 is not what I imagined.

Be honest, how often have you ever experienced this issue? It sounds like you're nitpicking. You can literally see what gear people in your squad have equipped, if someone is not running with ammo, then you should but in my experience I've seen at least one ammo box at every objective.

Casper's drone can EMP vehicles. He can also spot it and other enemies so that your team can respond to the threat. Angel is not meant to deal with vehicles, he is part of the support class, not the engineer class.
Admittedly, the engineer class is weak right now because Lis is the only good engineer whilst Boris and Crawford need to be buffed.

This is a very contradictory statement, Battlefield has always been a team based game. I love the class system update because it adds that little bit of immersion that 2042 lacks in totality, that you're part of something bigger than yourself.
I can not overstate enough, how glad I am that not everyone is running around with a rocket launcher because literally, why would you run anything else but it. It made the gameplay completely stale because there was literally no variety, everyone just ran meta weapons and gear.
So yeah, I completely disagree with your argument and believe the class system has added what 2042 was greatly missing, team play even if it is still lacking in many team play aspects i.e no commander.

@AsahaTx I totally disagree with implementing vehicle ammo restrictions. The maps were clearly not designed with attrition in mind and will negatively affect gameplay way too much.

Yes it is really bad in 2042 specifically. Game wasn't designed for it like it was for previous games and it is very telling.

@Hellhound88 While the execution of the class system in 2042 has been (and is) a hot mess, your post is maybe the funniest thing I’ve seen today. Is this an April fools day joke? Because if it is it’s brilliant. Well done. Complaining a team work based game, the most recent of 20 years worth of team work based games, is forcing you to use team work to play is hilarious. And to do it in such an unironic way… April fools indeed.
