@CantGetRighti mean each to their own but numbers speak the truth. Its a BF game, classes is and should be an integral part of Battlefield

@CantGetRightI fully agree. As someone who has spent hundreds of hours in this game, and thousands of hours in previous titles. I will likely play this far less once these changes take place. This removes such a vast number of play style possibilities. The problem with this game is not specialists, it is map design.
There are a ton of players who will gladly come back and replace you if you stop playing if normal classes ever returned. Specialists are a bigger problem in this game than the maps themselves.

@Spinner1981I guarantee the ones that liked the freedom will leave the game if they introduce a class structure and limit your choices. As I know I will. The ones that do want it will come back just to try it and then leave as the content just isn't there.
The players who want classes back greatly outnumber any amount of people who would leave if traditional classes came back. To those players: don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Sorry but Battlefield having classes is a part of the Battlefield identity. As i said before only reason you got specialists and this freedom is because it started as a BR game, which should never have happened. Classes always have been, and always should be a major part of the Battlefield experience. There is always Warzone, Fortnite, PUBG etc if you want complete freedom

And then there are players like me who will still play with either setup but after 260 hours I can safely say no gadget restriction has been very detrimental to my tank experience.
Let them leave. Battlefield is a game with classes. Always has been. Always should be. If you wanna run around with no classes and no structure, CoD will be out this year.
@DominicO65 Agreed, BF 2042 is way too much trying to be COD like and it doesnt work, as is proven. I really hope future BF games go back to proper classes. With the specialists and no classes on top of everything else, BF2042 is Battlefield in name only
THEY NEED TO RESTRICT WEAPONS TOO AND MAKE CLASSES MORE VIABLE
I mean say for instance, an engineer, support or Assault should not be using a sniper rifle sat at the back of the map, when they should be up front and centre, doing their class roles. Want to snipe, then pick a recon with a sniper rifle, let the other classes do what they are supposed to.
There are reasons why weapons need to be restricted, and above is just one example. I get people want freedom of choice etc, but BF has never been about that. Its certain classes for certain roles with certain weapons that match the class, that helps with the role they do.
Its part of Battlefields identity. 2042 stripped BF of it and now look. Specialists and no classes is obviously not the only main reason, but it played a big part at why the game is in the state its in, and with a lot less players than there should be. @Straatford87
