Class/Specialist Concept

I respectfully have to disagree with the  already identified by familiar "Classes" as the classes in BF2042 are meaningless. Take the class label off the specialist and there is no change to the way the specialist still functions. They might have "special" abilities and a gadget but now can loadout as any class of old or multiple.  

In BF4 each class has dozen of weapon choices, over a dozen of gadgets that could be setup is hundreds of different load outs.  But they choices were restricted to the class.  Now with Specialists, that is no longer the case.  It might seem there is more variety but in the end I believe it will come down to certain loadouts/specialist that will become dominate.  I did cancel my pre-order not just because the specialist.  The state of a Aug build and 3 months to launch gives me great concerns as to the state of the game when it does launch.   I remember BF4 launch, thought they worked it all out, it took 6 months.   I'll save my money and let the others spend $60+ to be beta test this setup.  I have other games to play until they work things out. Only time will tell if this direction works.  We'll see in a few months.

I just think the Specialist were a copy from other games rather than adding something new to the existing structure.  A structure that made the game stand out from the others.  This game structure is what drew me to BF in the first place.  There are plenty of COD and Apex type games out there but there was only 1 Battlefield.  Now I'm not so sure.
