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, ...

A Battlefield with specialists IS NOT BATTLEFIELD it is a cringe hero shooter and as much as some people might disagree, well enjoy your dead Battlefield game.
The best part though, the idea of adding specialists to monitise the game ultimately backfired and caused them to make way less money then they would of if they just kept to the Battlefield formula that the majority love and enjoy.
I don’t get where people are coming up with the “monetize” complaint with regard to specialists, so far I have not seen anything for purchase within the game since I bought it. As far as (hypothetically) paying for skins for specialists, you won’t have to if you don’t want to. Now if we had to purchase better weapons then maybe a little griping would be legitimate - but again one can choose not to pay or to play.

Yes, you don't have to pay and certainly I would not.
The problem is that the specialists are in the game for that reason and that they replace classes. More precisely: the complaint is that the game was made WORSE on purpose with this change and the compaint is NOT that microtransactions exist in the first place. One might like the latter or not, but to make the game a WORSE experience gameplay wise because of sole purpose to be able to sell microtransactions later, that is the complaint here.

My point is that, so far, micro transactions do not exist in the game and therefore using that to complain about specialists is purely speculative. Also, I do not agree that specialists make for a worse gameplay experience, merely different. I personally like to play as Angel and be able to change my kit out for whatever situation arises.
i like the freedom of the specialists. i view them as gadget and i don't care what they look like but i do REALLY wish they would stfu during pre round/post round screens. can't stand the cringe lines

Angel and also the OP Falk might be acceptable if the perks are slightly toned down to facilitate the need for team play. But having 20+ of the same characters running ON BOTH SIDES is plain stupid. If they were anonymous soldiers that looked the same, I don't care but getting shot by Angel just to be revived by angel that look IDENTICAL is plain stupid.
And don't get me started on the completely non-BF characters like Sundance or Mackay.
