Gameplay Features Ideas for Battlefield 2042

Since Battlefield 2042 is based on the future, my opinion is that there should be more futuristic features in the game, such as gadgets, and character features. The first gadget I want to share out is Jet Packs. Players would have to level up to the middle or higher level to unlock the jet pack. After they unlock the jet pack, they can be able to add the jet pack on their online character through Specialist Settings. So what the jet pack does, is it would let you fly from one side of the map to the other, meaning it will let you jump through fences, jump through windows in a building, and will also let you run on walls as well. The jet pack would be very useful for players if they can’t be able to climb through fences.

Hi, even if "Battlefield" is based on the future, there is no need for a Jetpack at all. I have nothing against it, but it would somehow makes the "Grapple Hook" useless on later ranks. Fun fact: Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII was also using jet packs but BF2142 not. May instead of a gadget maybe as a "Vehicle" or something? Or as "special" Gadget for a specialist?

The other I want to share out is character abilities. Character abilities will allow you to use abilities against enemy players or for your teammates. For abilities against enemy players, you will have abilities such as Shield, and enemy tracker. For abilities to help your teammates, you will have abilities to increase your entire team’s health, and the jet pack recharger for you and your teammates. The more points you make, your abilities will be unlocked to use temporarily. After use, you’ll have to score more points in order to have your abilities refreshed. What the shield does is it will protect you from gunshots by enemy players. The shield will only last for 15 seconds and it will disable itself until it recharges. The enemy tracker is a device on your character’s helmet where it will help you track down footprints of enemies, and shows you where the enemies are located at. Now you don’t have to worry about campers camping corners and killing you everytime you turn around. You can be able to see where campers are hiding. You can also see enemies through walls. But the device is also temporarily, which means you can only use it for 15 seconds and it will disable itself until it recharges. The health ability is actually a gadget on your arm. That’s right, a hologram arm. What the health device does is it will help you increase the health for your teammates who are low on health. Just press the hologram, and you can heal your teammates. It can also help revive the wounded teammates. You wouldn’t have to worry about rushing to your teammate to revive them, you can now use the healing device to help revive them. But remember, the device needs charging. It’ll take a while. The next is called the “Jet Pack Recharger.” The jet pack will take a couple seconds to recharge after use. But don’t worry, you will now have that ability to use the device on your hologram arm to recharge your teammates’ jet pack a whole lot faster for only 15 seconds! Your teammates won’t have to worry about waiting for their jet packs to recharge for a couple of seconds. It will remain miscellaneous for 15 seconds until the Jet Pack Recharger needs to be recharged. For all the feature ideas for Battlefield 2042, what do you guys think of these ideas? What are your feature ideas for the game?

Well everything else is working on your "Character Abilities". I think that DICE would have already said something about it if they implement such a feature. I saw this on other well known Shooters, it can work yes but I am no fan of this at all. Battlefield 4, Battlefield V was using some sort of perk system, it was more "passive" so you was using it without to activate it first. The Idea with your shield for an example, can't work neither because it seems we get the "Shield" as Gadget (Specialist) /Weapon(?).
