Man I can't believe how hard you guys are rewriting the launch of battlefield. It was a massive disaster, the devs, producers, and EA have all said it was disappointing and most of the first few months was damage control because of the bad reception and drop off in players. This was followed by angst by the community due to lack of communication by the dev team as to how they were going to try and fix everything.
It got to a point where I literally couldn't get into a game at what should have been peak time because there weren't enough players in my region on conquest crossplay.
You say you can't one man army and then go onto say there is nothing wrong with being a one man army.
First, pre patch you could one man army - as in be every kit, there were quite a few options for this.
The first that comes to mind is Angel, M5 recoiless, loadout crate, prox sensors - resupplies ammo, revives, antitank, spots with prox sensors, and can change out gadgets whenever they want to drop a loadout crate, but you wouldn't need to because you already had literally every class in one kit.
Hell you can still go Falck, Angel, or Irish, get a defibrillator and an ammo box with a grenade launcher to clear shielded enemies, as Angel you can switch between an ammo crate and a claymore for setting traps. So you can still do everything you said you'd want in one kit, except without C5.
You also say "we need to drop the class the bs and ignore them" and then go onto say "like they have any right to tell anyone else how to play". Dude, the hypocrisy in that sentence is crazy!
I'm not demanding anything, I said I hope specialists never return, and yet you are demanding that a very large section of the community be completely ignored. Good work.
