After seeming the remaining specialist traits. I’m ready to get my hands on the game today. https://youtu.be/rFvZSwHq3nQ

I was no fan of the specialists after the beta and now I am really getting worried about BF2042.After seeing the rest, it seems like this is becoming ApexField, which is not really BF anymore. Giving people "wallhacks" (the worst of them) is bad and can end up being a real 'fun-killer'. Just like the special classes in BF1, it becomes 'stupid' to play against some of these specialists.Hopefully the reveal are just a "showcase" of the specialists and their abilities will have long cooldown-timers to not be a big problem.If the focus moves away from gunplay/positioning and more towards gadget use/special abilities, then BF2042 will probably be another flop in BF community...

It's ok to try something new, like 4-6 specialists instead of classes with access to all weapons and gadgets.I would have been ok with that.But 20+ specialists with more or less weird specialties is just ridiculous and can prove impossible to balance.Again we get a system for the sake of the system and not for the gameplay.

@carsono311 Captain Price will be in the game. They just ripped him right out of CoD and dropped him in, because why not?

Just watched 2/3 of the new Specialists reveal video, then I had seen enough.I can't see myself buying this game.What on Earth have they done to the Battlefield series I used to love??

This will be an ongoing issue especially when Dice introduces more new specialists over time.From history we know that Dice often are very slow to make adjustments to the game and this could end up be very annoying in BF2042. Now they not only has to balance weapons/vehicles but specialists also.Not to mention they have a propensity for over reacting to balance issues that often ends up with them spending several months of work and patches on a single issue.

@cso7777 I guess sometimes it is what it is. After dealing with the pandemic, I appreciate the small things in life and while im a huge BF fan as well, there are worse things in life. Refunds are possible. Sometimes certain games are not made for certain people, incl myself.

@ghinavirus Not the wisest decision to put the wall hack code in the game, so cheaters don't need to develop their own.

The main thing that bothers me is their goofy, cliche cartoon appearance. What happened to the more serious battlefield? You know, war?
Ironically, this solider looks exactly what I thought we would get with 2042 yet he's not in the game (unless im blind).

Somebody in comments made a good point, How come in the trailers, all the soldiers are generic versus the specialists, but when we play everyone is identical?
Its a valid point.

@Buzzfunk Nah, they are all civilians that bring their diy gadgets printed at home, some guns from walmart and the uniforms from army surplus.

@cso7777Portal makes your whole argument seem pointless. Play how ever the heck you want.

Wall hacks?
You mean things like T-UGS, Motion Sensor Balls and spotting flares?
Come on Gents, let's not let personal incredulity over Specialists wipe out your memories.
