128 player breakthrough has the potential to be utterly amazing fun and insane. And usually it is. I just think that there needs to be some balance changes to give defenders a better chance, since teamwork is more required on the defending side, so they should have a little bit more cover, a little bit less vehicles coming at them, etc.
But yes i love the game and I want to see what they add to it. Its all ive played since it came out. I want to play other games, but I just get addicted to this.
Specialists are a decent idea but I do think there should be limited loadouts by class still, even when you pick a specialist, it should still be part of a class loadout.
I enjoy the game too even with the oft mentioned problems. The game is playable and I get what I want out of the game. Lots can be improved but I would prefer to comment on what we as players can do, when possible, to improve any particular round. I play almost exclusively as Maria Falck. So I do as much healing as I possibly can. What can and does irk me is players who only focus on themselves and not on the bigger whole. Im talking about the players who get dropped and hit the force respawn immediately even though Falck is close by to help and even worse is attempting to heal you. Putting yourself in danger to help a downed mate and to help the team in general becomes tiresome when facing the likes of those who only care to get back to their stats and self serving style of play. No matter what at least at the end of the game I feel good to have done what I could and I can laugh at those who prefer lone wolf to actual teamplay.

If these players who tap out were obsessing over their stats, you'd think they would wait for you, no? I mean if they're just after the stats, then an extra death is not what they want. This suggests that the reasons players tap out are different from what you are suggesting.
The game does a poor job of advertising that there are players nearby whom you can revive. Just last night I was playing on Hourglass, got killed by a sniper and fell into cover next to a squadmate, who promptly... ran off. I challenged him in squad chat about it, and he said he just didn't notice. I main Falck and I can sympathise with this. The UI will highlight a downed squadmate, but the marker is faint, and often it's highlighting someone who is 600m from your position, while the blue non-squadmate marker doesn't seem to show players that aren't in your direct line of sight very well, if at all. If you compare the markers with those in BFV, the difference is stark. Then there's no integrated VOIP so you can ask a squadmate for a revive...

@filthy_vegansSince k/d really means squat in this game as far as Im concerned then tapping out would suggest to me that they want that awesome #1 ranking at the end of the game.
If they were killed and there is a nearby medic, it suggests that there is a fight there or thereabouts. They would therefore want to remain close to that fight, for the stats, no?
- There are some bad medics out there but dont show ignorance please by using such a big paintbrush.
Most medics who play 2042 are objectively awful at their jobs, to the extent that I wonder why they select Falck at all.
I will tap out like lots of players do so that I can protect others when I will only get them killed trying to save me. Common sense should always prevail but there will always be those "me first" types in any game.
This undermines your thesis that the players who tap out are doing it "for the stats" - you yourself do it to prevent others from dying. How do you know the ones you bemoan aren't doing the same for you? You asked me to not "show ignorance;" I would point out that you are doing exactly that. Physician, heal thyself.
