Go back to how it was.

Want more teamwork then put back in squad leader spawn only.

This! I rather teamwork be derived from systems like this rather than limiting each persons load-out.

The load-out system had constraints since the release too. I think people are forgetting that. You couldn't have an ammo box and C5. It wasn't a free for all like some are claiming, and there was no such thing as a "One Man Army". Everything had a tradeoff.

@RaginSamAngels load out crate is disagreeing with your statement

Oh yeah? So there was no cool-down on that? You didn't give up any perks that other Specialist had to use him? No tradeoffs? Tell me more.

@X-Sunslayer-XBut so did everybody at respawn. Duh. And you can't carry more than once so you have to juggle which is the best for any given situation. You SURE you played this game more than once? I have doubts.

There you go then, it didn't improve the game if the userbase didn't suddenly rise. I don't use Steam so...

It was a knee-* reaction. They try different things. Keeping classes would be fine if we dropped the restrictions so many are against. I've seen plenty who don't like the change and say so here or on Reddit.

*For what it's worth, if it was that powerful everyone would use it. They didn't, just like not everyone used rockets.

If people want teamwork and coordination they should use the text chat or in game voice chat that was added (still goes unused because BF is a super casual game with a bunch of really bad players with no situational awareness). However I guess the class system makes people feel like they're actually contributing to something, but in reality they still have the same bad habbits they had before the class system was added.  

If Dice really wanted more teamwork and coordination in game they would have expanded the social features and allowed folks to play with more than three friends in a match.

I've already given here on this thread (https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Go-back-to-how-it-was/m-p/12297171/highlight/true#M157373) some examples why it's something common in any triple A game that a vast majority of players would be inclined to leave the game within the first quarter since release.

So, it's not something unique to BF2042 or never seen in this triple A space.

@DPsx7i doesn't really matter how long the cooldown is, since the fact remains that until recently Angel had EVERY GADGET IN THE GAME AT HIS FINGERTIPS. and if you think that is fine then thats your opinion you are entiltled to it but i do not have to agree with it. same with your constant claim that "only a vocal minority wants classes back" until you produce actual data to support that claim it will be nothing more then your opinion and noone in the world needs to or will automatically agree with you just because you keep repeating it.
SteamCharts show the community is rather indifferent about the change, some like it some don't, but again i doubt DICE does changes like this just for the s*its and giggles. most likely their surveys show that the majority wanted this change which makes you the vocal minority b*tching and crying about it. i am sorry for your displeasure. i hope you find the strength to move on

The length of the cool-down absolutely matters! That's what game balancing looks like. If Paik could keep scanning whenever she wanted, and if the enemies stayed highlighted the entire duration of the scan, then that would be broken. Everyone freaked out about her, but she's underwhelming in most instances. She's a perfect example of how something on paper sounds busted ends up being really well balanced.

Like someone else mentioned, you can respawn faster than you can call in the crate. I had a much bigger problem with Sundance having a spawn becon on top of the buildings on Spearhead, just constantly flying behind people, getting cheap 1-2 or more picks just because she could flank so easily. Stuff like that is what I want balanced.

I'm not sure if it was you, but it was certainly others, talking about BF3 and BF4 like it was well balanced... it wasn't, there were a few meta guns and A LOT more spam from what I can remember. People camping doorways with C4, Grenades, and Airburst. BFV had a lot of great systems in place to limit spam and BF2042 seems to do a pretty good job of that as well. Both feel like they do a better job then BF3 or BF4.

You could keep switching kits back and forth, but why couldn't you do that with anyone else just by playing really aggressive and respawning? You're not going to top the Leader board by constantly switching your kit. He could always be balanced with an increase to the cool-down of his ability. It's literally changing a couple of numbers.
