Re: the new update is a complete disgrace

I've tried to like this update but it's not working.  Too many restrictions.  Prime example - the worst specialists in the game are the only ones with the M5.  And you've got some specialist with C5 but no EMP grenade - why? It makes no sense. It hasn't increased team work whatsoever in games with randoms.  Campers continue to camp and loan wolves continue to play away from their squad. The only people who play as a team are the people who played as a team before the update!  So the net beniefit realized by all of this was giving tankers icons for enemies - something they could've accomplished without any of this.  

On top of everything, the controls are an over complicated mess.  Flying is dead now that line of site breaks have been negated.  The load outs are infuriating.  They should've been assigned to the classes!  Now we have to change items around each time, so we effectively don't even have any load outs at all, just a single set of gear. All this effort Dice put into this patch could've been allocated to giving us actual NEW weapons and gear instead of a bunch of redundant Vault garbage, or a meaningful Tier 1 system so we have a reason to keep playing and trying new things.

And before anyone tells me to learn how to play other specialists, I've T1'd all of them.  Boris is completely useless and an utter embarrassment to even been seen using,  I'm honestly fighting the urge to uninstall and will probably give it one more chance, but I don't expect to feel any different.

    Yup, total mess and I hate it. I feel like we had it all, and now they're taking it away and restricting us.

    I've been playing since BF2, and I liked the specialization previously, but I grew to like the BF2042 method even more. It was such a nice system to play the character I like with whatever items I needed at the time.

    Honestly, as dumb as it may seem, I'm done. It's not fun like this for me.

    I would be curious to see how this pans out, if they get more players because of it. I feel like the people who wanted this have mostly left long ago. Of course, I solely base that on the amount of people I heard constantly complaining about the game in chat when the game came out and for a while after, as opposed to the almost complete lack of complaining I was seeing recently.
