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.
Specialist VS Classes
Classes - The idea, and it worked, was that you would be more successful as a squad working together and it promoted that style of game play by restricting certain items to each class. This setup always had me thinking, what does my team need to succeed in the match, and then I would choose that class. Sometimes that need would change during the match and you would switch classes to fit the role.
Specialist - No restrictions does not promoted team play as much as the classes did. You can be just as successful solo as you would be in a squad. As a specialist you can load out as 3 classes in one, so what do you need a squad mate for? It only supports team play if you choose to do so. And trust me, it is not happening as often as it did with the classes.
I actually tired to use the repair tool today just to see how it worked. Very difficult to see if your doing something or not. You have to watch the vehicle HP counter to tell if your having an affect.
I'm actually not sure if you can destroy a vehicle with one as you could before, as I have tried and been unsuccessful.
Yes, I'm wearing pink glasses. Enjoy that better teamwork now. When so said "best" meta will be in order, anything that you just mentioned will be flushed. Remember, free for all and people will always choose best outcome for scoring, killing.
@Man_iLoveFishingIndeed teamwork is better , me and my squads have much more teamplay opportunities that feel our needs and i dont end up with a full squads of useless recons camping miles away from objectives or support guy camping with a lmg and mortar .. or an assault who only take medic classe to get an AR ACE23 OR AEK ...
ALSO dare to say to me repair tools and anti vehicles was of any use in metro or operation.lockers maps ? They were not serving any purpose yet 50% of the poeoples took.enginerr just to have carbines wich are great cqc weapons

First of all , SPecialist and specialist ability can be considered as a classes in and out itself ..
Casper recon drone is similar to the MAV drones
Boris turret or Irish walls is similar to what you can expect from an engineers .
Assault specialist rely on Mobility verticality or front line defense ..
Team composition can be whatever you need it to be and every setup can benefits the team and team play , when you play with your squads you can create team composition that benefits the team , 1 with amo box and turret , the other with grapling hook and meds , the other with sensor grenade and casper recon drone and so on and on ..
And with the specialist system your friend arent stuck on the frontline with a gun not suitable for the situation , you can stick toghueter and complements each others ...
WITH THE OLD CLASSES SYTEM AND IF YOU DENY THIS YOU ARE LYING ... THERE WAS ALWAYS CLASSES IMBALANCE AND POOR TEAMWORK
IN BFBC2 IT WAS COMMON TO SEE A TEAM COMPOSED OF 90% RECON SNIPING AND NEVER ATACKING OBJECTIVES
In BF3 and 4 it was common to see 80% engineers with carbines everywhere in maps that favored close quarters , or 90% medics in maps that favored medium long range , and support that were sitting on mortar outside the boundary area and never dropped a single pack of amo everrr....
Stop trying to make things as if they were better than they were ... Pink glasses wont save you agaisnt straight up facts ... Any real BF players knows what i say is true .. and anyones pretending otherwise is a ideologue nothing more
Sorry but you are very arrogant and your points although you see as valid are delivered with as much grace as a dismembered turkey.
@Stew360I have to respectfully disagree with your argument. I’ve already tried explaining why to you, but you refuse to listen and attempt to dismiss my reasoning with anger and toxicity, as you do to everyone who doesn’t share the same opinion as you. Different people can like different things. I’m not going to be an a**hole to everyone who disagrees with me. But hey, if you’re having fun with the game, I’m all for it. Some people aren’t, and that’s OK too. I don’t want to encourage complacency and would like to see improvements made. But I’m not going after people who don’t feel the same.

People did the same in bf3 and 4. The majority on any server played as assault simply because that was the lonewolf meta in those games.
I honestly dont get revived less, get less ammo throw and so on in 2042 than in any of the old games.
The only difference I see is that the specialists have their abilities. Wasnt a fan og that at first but I have gotten to a point where I actually like the abilities because of the variety they add to the flow of the game.
@BizzyVapingSame here i wasn't a fan of specialist before experimenting with them . But for a long time i wanted Dice to get rid the the traditional forced loadout for us .. It only made ppls play the wrong class for the wrong reason
