Yes that's true. I think the big scare for everyone is that characters become too whacky. BF1 started to wander from a reasonable setting with Captain Birdseye etc. One thing I have learned from this forum is how much players like the fantasy to stay intact. They want that protected and want to feel like its a serious combat in a viable setting. John McClane or Rambo running around spoils that. I hope Dice continue to acknowledge that, though I think that many feel that the specialist are testing the ground on that both in looks and kit available. For my part they are reasonable, but only just. The specialist gadgets are just about reasonable interpretations of what might be available at the time and the specialist models still have a reasonable military flavour. But if players wanted a more futuristic setting than that they would be playing Halo..
