Let's talk specialists and immersion
Well, not really because specialists kill literally any attempt at immersion. Not because of their abilities, but because of the fact that they're clones. So I'm playing Falck, get killed by Falck, ...

@edgecrusherO0 I enjoy the game on PS4. People need to get past the inclusion of Specialist. There are still classes just with less restrictions. They need a Trip Wire Specialist. You guys have to understand that it gives them a chance to get creative and shake up the meta. Now!!! Whenever they release the new map they need to take Hourglass down and rework it.
@solidsouthcentra Conceptually, yes. And I like the concept! But making them individuals is beyond stupid, and between the lack of any expression of their character in-game and the oddness of seeing 20 Falck's running around, it makes no sense.
Just make them standard soldiers with "specialist" kits.
If we want to get all fancy, this is a perfect example of ludonarrative dissonance.
Like, how this made it through a single meeting without someone highlighting just how stupid the current incarnation is is truly beyond me.

- @edgecrusherO0 you know what would've been cool? You get to customize what your character looks like, just like a bunch of other games do. Then you choose your specialist perk (wingsuit) and loadout like normal.
There is no need to force me to play with characters I do not want to play as. That also helps with the immersion.
You can be creative without forcing that upon the players. Let them choose.- @Adamonic You mean like DICE did in BFV with the basic character customization? Yeah, it would have been perfect for 2042 and allowed for tons of cosmetic sales.
But as with the rest of the game, DICE managed to make what is possibly the worst possible decision in their execution of the specialists and will have to spend even more time trying to * their quarter-baked system.I guess this is the hangover from the original intent of a BR-style game.
- @edgecrusherO0 I had to look up 'ludonarrative dissonance'.
nice reference- @CloverDeuce We all fancy and *!
It was a fun buzzword around the time of the Tomb Raider reboots but has since fallen out of fashion.
