I fully expect the next new specialist to be able to cloak itself like the Predator. That will be all.

It'll be a sniper whose scope doesn't glimmer and give away their position.
- @TAW_Rinko that would be annoying but after their first kill someone will come looking for them. i make a habit out of hunting a sniper on the rare occasion they actually get me (usually running around too much for most of the "snipers" to actually connect with a head shot). i like snipers on the enemy team, they take up a slot and just keep shooting and missing
on a serious note though...i wonder what the next specialist gadget will be (i too look at specialists as a gadget). some sort of artillery call in like BC2
wouldn't surprise me - @Psubond That would be cool to be able to call in artillery.
@CantGetRightwould be fun to use on roof campers too
...or just use mckay and stick a knife in their throat....either way...

wouldn't surprise meIt'd be a reversion to earlier entries in the BF series. We dealt with snipers without glimmers in 1942, we can do it now.
While I posted it quickly and with an amount of flippancy, on reflection I think that it would actually be a fairly popular option as a specialist for snipers and, given its really just bringing back an old mechanic, not super game breaking. Perhaps it comes with a slightly slowed down reload rate, as a bit of balance.
Snipers can be a serious pain as defenders in rush mode though, especially if the opposing side doesn't get any air vehicles to help root them out.
- @TAW_Rinko i've gotten pretty good at countersniping them with an M5 launcher
- @CantGetRight They actually had this in 2142 and it was pretty cool. you had to use a device to activate it so no running around stealth shooting people.
- @Psubond Artillery or a mortar specialist. I’d play the hell out of a mortar
- @CantGetRight Honestly, that was the first that came to mind to me as well. I just made a post about how impossible playing a map like Metro would be with all of the 'hero' abilities/gadgets that people have and that the only way to back-cap would be cloaking or teleporting/blinking past people in some way.
Excited Predator noises
Also a good reason to choose Paik.
