So what I'm getting is that we will have the 4 Main but with "Specialist" are we gonna have a character for the main class with customizable choices, or is it just specialist for the 4. I'm hoping that we can have our own character, and the specislist?
@ragnarok013
There are 4 class Assault, Recon, Support and Engineer.
So far there are 10 specialist, we known of 4. 5 if you include Sundance -wingsuit.
Maria is a Medic specialist under the Support Class. There is no Medic class.
Additional medic will be mostly likely under the Support class too.

I think we're saying the same thing @DingoKillr . My point is I don't want to play a specific person (ie a Hero/Apex Legend), I want to play a generic person as the class like we've always done so if I want to play Medic I'm "the medic" and not Falck with no way not to be Falck unless I pick a different classes specialist or another specialist under the support class.

@ragnarok013I totally understand your concerns.
One of the good things about BF, is the feeling of being 'another soldier' on the battlefield and this will probably change.
If the specialist classes become Hollywood-heroes, with all kinds of tricks and moves, then the game will become something else (more like Apex and games like that). And the focus of the game-play will be less on gun-fights, than we are used to.
We will have to see. Hopefully the 'traits' of the specialists are not too important for game-play and we still have some 'core-gameplay', where players are mostly on a level playing field. Weapon selection/skill and use of cover, are hopefully still the most important factors for infantry play.
But at least the number of upcoming buffs/nerfs for specialist gadgets, will give us several new BF-memes...
@cso7777 I agree. As much as I hated BF5 Elites that system is much better than this Apex Legends BS. They should have stayed with the classes and made these specialists Elites. I think I'm so frustrated by specialists because the trailer had a metric ton of fan service and queues from BF3/4 and then they cut the literal heart of out Battlefield...the class system and replace it with Apex Legends with is markedly NOT Battlefield.
@TickTack121 @ If they are making it were the 4 classes are specialist and not a normal class that's gonna ruin it, CoD is an example just stuck with the same specialist and everyone is the same character. If 2042 for example has the support class I want to play as the base character not 1 specialist that's to the class. Personally what they did with BFV with elites and now specialist is making the game feel like its competitors
It's 50/50 for me. I see that they are trying to fix player behaviour related problems but I am not sure will more freedom cause even more issues. On the other hand, now players who liked Battlefield 4 level of class customisation which was most create a class type of Battlefield ever should be even happier with this.
If secondary gadget could have been class locked list of tools then it would have been better in my opinion. More class structure. Fixing primary weapon fixation issue is good change, though.

Guess what will happen in the Next Battlefield.
