New locked classes ruined the game
BF2042 was really fun with unlocked classes I could play as an assault with a medic kit and an anti tank rocket - it was fun these locked classes in my opinion make the game boring and dull and jus...

"oh no. i can no longer run around entirely self sufficent and can keep plying the one specialist i have for ages. now i might need to switch to a different one if the need arrives, or god forbid adjust my playstyle! the horror, the pain and why is nobody thinking of the children!"

Other than Angel pre-nerf, remind me again which specialist loadout was entirely self sufficient?
Cannot disagree strongly enough. Specialists actually feel like they have identities now and fit under their respective classes, people will start having to remember that teamwork is actually necessary in this game, and a DICE can now actually properly balance a lot of gadgets, vehicles, and specialist kits since there are more reasonable limits to design arouns vs. "literally everyone can run a stinger".
When I saw teamwork in previous Battlefield games, it was not because the class system was there. It was because people teamed up or either went into the game mode as a solo player determined to play that way.
Other than XP incentives for following squad commands and getting team wins. There is not too much else that the developer can do. I don't hate the current classes, but I was enjoying the free loadout Battlefield 2042 experience that has been there for over a year. Now the game feels very unfamiliar.
- @edgecrusherO0 Ship has sailed on teamwork for me. I used to do it but im not helping anyone now. I'm all about the team till you try to impose your will on me and force me to do it.

That's the thing though, you didn't need Classes to restrict gadget items. Lis couldn't equip the Stinger. They could have done the same thing for other Specialist, like Sundance and C5. Which still baffles me that Dice refuses to do that. Probably because she was in the Trailer and people just love making clips of dropping on people with C5 or something.
The game hasn't fundamentally changed at all. Still feels basically the same. There were more stealth changes that are having a bigger impact on the game for myself.
All they needed to do was to further balance some of the vehicles, fix bugs (which EVERY SINGLE ONE I've reported is still in the game!), and limit some of the gadgets.
Teamwork comes from robust Ping systems like in Apex, voip, being able to say "hey, I'm in the echo squad, join if you want to tank with me" and then grouping into that squad. The lack of teamwork had literally nothing to do with the absence of Classes. It's the round about way of trying to make people rely on each other. I can ping that I need ammo next to five people with icon flashes above their heads not in an immediate fight, and they still won't drop it. Or there's a bunch of Falck's standing around not healing at all.
If the person who is changing my car breaks and do it exactly the same as a specialised dealer, of course
after all, the task gets done, their specialist skills do not mean anything if both of them can do the same job.

-------------------------------------------------why hire a plumber when you can hire a general handy man and get multiple things done?
-------------------------------------------------
no problem with an opposite opinion,
-------------------------------------------------@Skill4Reel - yes i agree
to add to your post
the developer could remove weapons that encourage solo play - for example, sniper weaponsand increasing abilities for team work, for exmaple BF artillery callins, ememy artillery destruction etc
and yes, the game feels unfamiliar now that they changed it, it changed the flow of direction for the last year
-------------------------------------------------
@Psubondyes, those who team work in squads should get more XP than those in squads and players should have the
ability to decide not to play as a team member - because some days are just crap and you want to be alone-------------------------------------------------
"feeling basically the same" ....it is not the same though...that is like saying
"my car is basically the same after a car crash, but my bumber bar is now at right angles "Please do not get me started on how crap the voip system is in game....
or how i cannot select my own squad/create my own squad
or how i do not have a server browser.
- Falk with infinite healing and since ammo from dead enemies was more then enough to keep supplied, but you could always use an ammo box and had 3-4 rockets to get rid of most tank threats
- Recons were always self sufficent because the average recon will die before he chews trough all 3 ammo types
- Angle as you stated
- McKay with med-pen same goes for Sundance with her infinite cluster and AT grenades
- Liz and her infinite TV Missle
Ammo is in such high supply that i don't think i have ever ran dry in this game ever, i know i came close to chewing trough 2 ammo types on my AK once but i still had a 3rd ammo type with about 250 bullets...
