I think we vets simply have to give room for innovation at this point.
FPS games now are just more fast paced sliding around. If Dice doesn't follow any of the trends they simply won't get the new kids to jump in.
I'm not a fan of a lot of these new installments. I don't wan't more games where you 1v1 winning chance is relying on what "hero" you encounter instead of how good you are.
Wall-hack "hero powers" is just.. not battlefield for me - but it is a feature a lot of new kids wants I bet.
btw, love the name @OnkelSkinkehjelm , Go' weekend :-)
@FawKa innovation addresses a problem or shortcoming in a new way, the Specialist system rips out one of the core pillars of the game to chase trends from Apex and Warzone and destroys what teamwork we experienced in previous Battlefield title by making everyone a lone wolf. That is not innovation.
If DICE really wanted to experiment with a Hero shooter they could have 1. made a new IP 2. Kept Heroes to Hazard Zone or 3. Had a Classic Battlefield mode with Classes run side by side with the Hero mode which would have pleased the Apex crowd and the Battlefield crowd.

That is the thing though.
In the last 10 years, the entertainment industry do not want to start brand new IPs. They want to just alter existing ones to get free audience that follows the brand.
Most people seem to be working at a certain place for a short term and they want to reap their short term profits and hop to the next host.
I hope this game manages to be successful because otherwise it will be the second L in a row for DICE and we might not see any more battlefield outside of freemium mobile gatcha games.
