Re: Specialist/Character Customization Thread

We all hate the current soldier selection as specialist. Perhaps a black female that wants to use the grappling hook doesn’t wanna run around the map looking like Mackay. The specialist are extremely bad and the lines (after the game) are even worse. It has such a arcade (unrealistic) feel that kills the immersion of a all out war triple A game. I think if we could pick soldiers that we enjoy playing with and choose our special ability (like a wing suit) it would change everything. I would settle for simply changing the heads out on the different specialist with some of the soldiers from portal. It’s just very un-realistic to see 4 Mackay characters in the same vehicle (especially when he is such a annoying character to start with). Having to play with these cheesy characters have killed the realistic feel that Battlefield has given in past titles. Simply more variety (helmets, tops, pants, boots) and a choice of different looks for characters would make the community very enthused.

    @CLEMSONU Yea it's immersion killing things that can be fixed with some more work , if you have the freedom of choice in characters , would you be happy to see new faces hairstyles helmets etc. In the battle pass ?
  • Yes.. if I could customize my specialist I would be extremely happy about that. I may even purchase certain options to change my character (if it was a character I actually enjoyed playing with). It’s just the characters we currently have are so bad.. I don’t want any part of them. They are just terrible

    @CLEMSONU Yea I agree, I do dislike the current options, so would you like it if the specialist's gadget traits etc. Would be part of your loadout, While you're free to fully customize the character?
  • Truth is.. most people just wanna make their characters to resemble them. It gives a more personal feel on the “Battlefield” and makes it feel immersive. As a dude I don’t wanna run around the map forced to look a certain way just because I desire to use the grappling hook or wing suit. If we could keep specialist but customize them to look like the player using them.. I think people would love them. We need more serious options (not this cartoon cheesy characters we have currently).

    @CLEMSONU Hell yea man Imagine if you could customize your character to look like Solomon from BF3 , damn my favorite character
  • We simply need the option to choose our cool looking character.. then choose our special gadget.. and just like that the specialist issue is resolved forever 👍

    so simple 

    if people really like their character they will spend $$ on fixing them up with new gear offered for purchase. The sky is the limit if done right.

    @CLEMSONU No work no play , but I believe we shouldn't make fun of their appearance since a lot of characters in games are based on real models and kinda feel bad for them , Boris looks like that good old man that would say the best stories at night camp of how he caught that giant fish at the lake , but not a mercenary tbh
