DICE Thanks For This Mindless Run-And-Gun No Class System.
What's the point of having classes when I can create a super specialists to handle all 4 classes Recon,Assault,Support and Engineer.
Forum Discussion
I agree completely. I argued with someone on the Steam boards about how the Class system really is the biggest staple of BF. The other being vehicle play. Why change that? Why create a CoD clone?
EA made a huge mistake changing the formula for what made BF so great. BF is for purists. Class squad play is dead. Let's not mention the fact you can't even create/switch squads. smh. This attempt at shoehorning BF in to the mainstream is too corporate and may damage the BF franchise for years to come. Bad move EA. BF already had a loyal and anticipatory following. I'm sure they saw that in the pre-order numbers.
What they could have done was have the 4 Classes that are in BF4 and have 3 Avatars for each Class. Then have unique skin unlocks for each Avatar to allow for Class and Avatar replayability. You could then choose 1 of the 3 class specific gadgets along with class specific equipment. More XP options. All you had to do was build off of BF4. You could have created a Class Specialist system and I guarantee it would have been a hit. Best of both worlds.
Honestly EA. For shame.
