@Stew360It was never about weapons benifiting the class they were assigned to , it was about forcing cohesive gameplay, something thats lacking in 2042, flag caps in this game are laughable, motion sensers being lobbed around like confetti but no ammo or meds, al lyou have currently is 128 players trying the same meta and tbh its dull and counter productive.
That in itself isnt even my problem, its the completely broken weapon system that renders AR`s and snipers useless, i mean, how did NOBODY at dice realise such a basic fault?
*EDIT* ive had some cracking games on BC rush in portal, what does it tell you when this games legacy is its strongest asset?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdH_pYPmyrA you clearly are new to the series , watch my video and then reply ... i dont feel like repeating myself 3 billions time ..
I have experience in ALL games on consoles and PC from BF franchise , and i can tell the classes have always changed at randoms and none of those design decision have ever helped with cohesion and teamwork , they were handicaps on many maps or were the go to on others , and peoples most peoples changed classes base on maps ... There was always Way to much medics , or way to much engineers or way to much X and Y because peoples didnt played the classes for what they were but for what weapons they had access to . The onlyones playing as teammates were scarse and rare or were part of your own squads and friends on teamspeak ventrillo or discord or in your console friendlist lol
The specialist and Free class system is WAY better than baseless arbitrary decisions that never served gameplay well
Anyone hands up seen someone repairing anything.
In 3 and 4 yes. Sure not many times, but yes. Problem is, since it's now basically "free for all", basic stuff is forgotten since everyone can lonewolf now. Classes kind of forced people to play based on weapons like you said. Can't deny on assault issue, but still, there were medics and supporters. Not saying there isn't now, but tbh i rarely see them now. And it's not that only, its how skins look. Ah right, enemy looks the same as my team.

👋🏻 Me!
Not only seen it but done it.
T1'd the ammo crate.
Working on SOFLAM (wish we got at least an indication of an assist) and Repair tool.
Once Boris is T1'd, plan on working on the luscious Maria.
Teamwork is in the hands of the players, not the class system or specialists.
Yes, I’ve had a lot of people repairing my tank on defense. This is when the game actually works for me and isn’t crashing or lagging.
I see that you are new in bff. People in previous bf games care about team play all the time, here they dont becsaue there is a lot of players what never play in battlefield game its theirs first time just like yours. I saw your channel youre planetside/cod player and for you spacialist system is better becsaue its something similar from those games.
My lord .... saying i am new to BF is like saying to a 100years old man that he is in his prime still ...
I play BF since bf1942 vietnam bf2 consoles exclusive bf2MC etc.. so keep these assumption out of here ...
The new system is Better and its base on my experience over a dozens of BF games since the early 2000s so Yeah !
The old classes system was always mixed and match in the most random way there is .. guns and gadjets were given at randoms trough the series history .. BF2 had 7 classes .. BF2142 had 4 BFBC1 had demolition and specs ops to but no engineers ... Repair and health was given to the support aka medic/engineer and so on and on and on .. And it as Never ever promoted teamplay and only putted shady and anoying restriction on players wich made no sens ... There was guns or classes that were terrible to play for certain maps and others OP in others .. so yeah Now players choices and taste prevail and teamwork is as much there if not more
Since i cannot find any still working site of older BF ill post this here so you can realist that my experience in BF is very extensive having played PC and COnsoles exclusive BF so basically all of them even the play4free and the joke that was hero ..
Also if you ever played planetside in your life and especially planetside 2 lol it has a class system hahaha ! Comparing COD and planetside as a " similar " type of game is not only a strech !
