Let's talk specialists and immersion

While DICE are hard at working adding VOIP, fixing maps and making improvements where they can to 2042 there is one thing that always makes me doubtful and that is specialists.

Their abilities abilities change the game so dramatically it completely changes the Battlefield experience we all love and enjoy.

I have no clue how they will make good maps with flying squirrels and a grappling cowboy darting around the place because that alone will make map flow irrelevant. To me a definition of a good map is clear fronts, engagements, and that won't happen when specialists can ignore map design. 

They destroy gameplay and quite frankly they look stupid whilst doing so.

Let's have a quick talk about microtransactions also, I firmly believe they added specialists purely for this. But imagine, being able to build your own "soldier", imagine the possibilites of picking everything from helmet, shirt, belt, pants, holster, body armour, boots ect.. Not only would the players be given more choice they'd be able to sell MTX. 

Don't get me wrong I hate MTX just as much as the next person in games, but if that's what keeps the playerbase as a whole and not split with expansions I'm all for it. 

DICE/EA, please, just swallow your pride and remove them. Because for as long as they are still in the game, they will still ruin the experience and you'll still have a significant amount of players staying away.
