Does anyone else hate specialists?
After puting many hours into the beta, I came to one conclusion. Specialists suck! They make the game unrealistic in every way, they don't make sense, and this game didn't feel like a battlefield gam...

@Tee_Doff2369 Nice post. I understand some of the arguments against specialists, like recognizing the enemies capabilities at a glance.. and balancing problems. One thing I don’t understand though is the argument that now no one will pick meds or ammo because they can have a rocket launcher. Isn’t this just the same as before? Some people selected support classes even when another class was ‘better’.. there are lotsa players out there that like to play the support role. I don’t see how the specialists suddenly will change that..
As for the OPs question: nope. Don’t hate them. Don’t care much for them either way.. not game breaking and it is still battlefield to me.

@mesterKG I don't think no one will pick ammo or meds, just going by what I saw in Beta it was very limited and the temptation to pick an RPG seemed too great. I expect it to start similar but work its way out as people get in to a teamplay mindset again, however I still think this may not quite be up to the level of past games.
The big question is around weapons. A lot of players will have chosen a class based on weapon and used the kit accordingly in past games. So in BF4 if you wanted an assault rifle you'd have to be a medic and use the tools that come with it - now would these players have used those tools if they didn't have too? I guess we are going to find out... I'm perhaps just a bit more pessimistic!
Conversely a lot of players may not have played as medic/support because they didn't like the weapons. So now they are free to do so...
Personally Angel seems to be who I'll play as, as a support/medic oriented specialist. I just hope the wall hack meta doesn't take hold!!!
