I think it has been proven over and over in BF2042 that specialists cannot work in a Battlefield game. That regular classes are needed for balance or all chaos ensues.
JMHO

It’s frustrating to play i.e. Engineer right now because nobody drops ammo so you can’t restock your gadgets.
I realize it’s to encourage team play but in reality hardly anyone runs with ammo.
The next game has to be grounded in reality and not in wishful thinking about encouraging team play.
- I_DYN4MO_I2 years agoSeasoned Ace@VOLBANKER_PC Yeah I've always thought the support players need buffing and that there should be a better points system for supporting other players. Also there should be more sources of ammo like maybe picking it up from vehicles as an example.

The game has a serious identity crisis. It is two different games in one, which normally doesn't work like we have seen with this BF2042 dumpster fire.
They should've called this Battlefield: The Specialists or something like that and purposely went hard with that route like Hardline.
However, they needed more than one faction with the same specialist abilities. Like some of the modes, they should've restricted the Specialists per squad (so you can't have 4 Mackays). Then went with different game modes like Hazard Zone, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Domination, etc.
No Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush with Specialists. Leave that for Portal, where you could play all those modes as BF4, BF3, BFBC2, or BF1942 soldiers with the appropriate class restrictions.

It's only going to get worse. I suspect the new throwable ammo will only supply primary/secondar ammo, and that more people will now choose those over crates because they are more mobile. Which could mean even fewer chances to pickup gadget ammo.....

Fingers crossed they work in the same way as the BF1 packs, but you're probably on to something there.
- I_DYN4MO_I2 years agoSeasoned Ace@sk1lld Yeah its just absolute chaos the way it is right now. I also think specialists ruined map diversity we've seen in previous games and introduced insane verticality instead.
Maps like Metro would just be a meat grinder with the way things are right now.
