Which Battlefield game was it where there were random people (not clans or groups of friends) on servers all playing the classes correctly? This has never happened.
@Skill4Reel The class system was never that, people didn't purposely join games and play 'classes' and did the 'teamwork' but everything was designed around the idea that if you were to embrace the system it could make you a better player and had a certain satisfaction level. It used to be that if you were to attack helo and you were solo vs a attack helo of 2 GG you are most likely losing that.
But they designed so much in 2042 that you can ignore all that and still be nearly as effective it really doesn't matter anymore how you play. I like Zain, I was always a fan of the airburst in 2142 but Zain atm has a auto heal after killing someone, you get 1🏈 med pens, you can have C5 and you have a 'grenade' launcher.... it's just too much same with how many other specialists are designed.
Hell they are even supposedly buffing the health regen after taking damage instead of just adding back the system where you can resupply health/ammo from support classes by pressing a button near them..... elegant system. These things are the 'class' system and 'teamplay' elements that are enough to make it a Battlefield game imo, but it has to be the core of every design decision they make.
Just see it as the 'class' system and 'teamplay' as an subconscious thing about the game not something everyone HAS to consciously be aware of. If designed well it happens organicly.
Atleast in my years of Battlefield is what I feel the Battlefield DNA is about.
