you need to actually play to understand the game mechanics that are in place and that are being upended. how you think it will go without playing it and reality in the game are two different things
@Prof3ss0r_M1k3 I've played the game for 30 at launch and it shows how flawed are the specialist like it or not this change needs to come for become more balance, promotes teamplay and a Good Game Readability (I know this character can has C5, M5 or Ammo crate like how most Battlefield game does it) We play Battlefield for Battlefield not Call of Apex so again we won't find another game and we won't allow this game to revert back to the Specialist System. If you think alot of players will leave you're totally wrong. We want this game to succeed especially the franchise itself

classes didn't force players to be team players in any other battlefield, what makes this one different. EVERY past battlefield game had people complaining that people don't do "team play"
you knowing what someone carries really isn't that important. it is a control thing. you want people to play YOUR way. taking away freedom for me to play the way i like isn't going to make me more of a team player. i used to be the guy who would switch to whatever was needed, carry ammo, deal with vehicles, etc. i won't be doing that in the future. if this change goes through and i stick around i'm not helping anyone. i'll look out for number 1 and that's it
dice and EA figured out that they can make money off skins. that is going to be a PERMANENT thing in the franchise going forward (if the franchise survives this game). thinking you will ever get rid of specialists is like thinking they will take the ultimate team loot box thing out of FIFA. it is a revenue source they won't give up.

@Prof3ss0r_M1k3 Go do your own thing and don't help I don't care because alot of players will return once season 3 and Classes will return, Alot of Battlefield fans will do more teamplay that what you expect, this isn't about the freedom, it's for the sake of game balance and proper game readability and this change will certainly go through like it or not, Classes are coming back with "Gadget Restrictions" which is miles better than the Specialist System we atm.
- A_Cool_Gorilla3 years agoSeasoned Traveler@Prof3ss0r_M1k3 I can definitely understand that feeling. It's been over a decade since this franchise has had custom squads, and it's never replaced that feature with anything that allows us to find team-oriented squad mates.
I'd rather see features that aim to tackle the root issue - the lacking supply of teamwork. Custom squads would be one, even if they have to resort to a "canned chat" naming system.
Or even better, I'd like to see a squad matchmaking system. Let me choose my restrictions - their SPM, their role (infantry, tank, pilot), max server ping, if they use voice comms, etc. Then throw me into a queue, and only after that, allow us to either manually select a server or allow the game find an ideal server for us.
Instead it plans on reverting to class restrictions which hurts teamplay instead of aiding it. I totally get why some of these games enjoy restrictions, but they absolutely need a system for finding like-minded players. I don't believe it can ever benefit public servers without that. - 3 years ago@A_Cool_Gorilla not how what you are mentioning will help the fact that no one i actually know plays this game. kinda hard to coordinate to fight a stealth helicopter with either no hack or no stinger if you have no one to talk to.
- A_Cool_Gorilla3 years agoSeasoned Traveler@Prof3ss0r_M1k3 Game balance is a large factor as well, don't get me wrong. However, that's another bucket of worms. What I'm saying is that this franchise is missing key features that allow for "player discovery". No matter how good the balance is, playing solo will be a crummy experience if you can't find like-minded players.
