Classes are soon to be back, now do distinctive infantry visual per faction

Welcome back BF classes, now do distinctive infantry models and skins per faction.

Seriously now, playing portal with BF3,BC2,1942 factions or AoW with bots is such a better experience when both teams have DIFFERENT visuals. It's like suddenly some burden goes off and you get to enjoy BF 2042 easier. You don't notice this burden until you go to classic factions in portal.

My biggest issue with BF2042 design was not lack of limited equipment classes, i got used to it. But lack of visual distinction between factions. 

Playing one round with e.g. BF3 factions makes game 1000% more easier and effort less when I clearly, with no hassle can identify Friend or Foe.

Sure Team Fortress has same model for both sides, but their "in your face" color of clothing without doubt show you on which team they are.

How can you design a match with 128 players and have both sides use identical models and skins... bUt tHeRE is diFFerEnt chEmliGht oN tHeir ChESt....You don't see anything else except that chemlight, the chemlight for obvious reason is so strong, that skins you purchase become irrelevant.

That chemlight does NOT help when you're in CQB and basically see your e.g. Falk goes around the corner on your right and then another Falk appears on your left. Turns out Falk on the left was enemy. So chemlight in those few seconds does not help.

Also having Tier 1 skins with red camo... for both sides... is baffling...

    I am sure when I say this and I am sure I am not the only one but I don't use class distinction to spot an enemy.  I use the red dot above their head.  So I could care less if there is a class distinction.  But at this point, I highly doubt they are going to make this change.  Your best bet is to wait for the next BF game and hope for the best.

  • @Foxfort Lets go whole hog. Lock the weapons into classes. Give people exactly what they asked for then make them have to live with it
