@VRACinqueThats your opinions and you can be entitle to like " red more than blue " or pink more than black " its base on taste and is subjective ..
But objectively BF2042 loadout system and specialist system once use to it and when you give it a fair chance is actually way better and more compleat and also more predictable than lets say BF4 classes system ..
But portal was done for this reason to give players a way to go back to olders BF with similar system etc.. And also to give the community a platform to create modes and experiences ..
How was BF4 system more simple ? Every classes had 2 gadjets slots in wich they could swap and interchange prettty much totally miles apart equipement , you could have supports without amo . Medics without medkits or defib .. Recons with carbines or shotguns and so on ..
At least in BF2042 mate you go to an Angel you are 100% he has Amo plates and loaoutcrate its 100% certain .. You go to falk she can heal you 100% and angel and flak are the only specialist able to revive downed team mates outside of their squads .. you see Mckay you know he can flank with grappling hook , you see sundance you know she has clusters , EMP pulse and Anti armor grenades .. etc..etc.. you know exactly what to expect at least in general ..
Also Past battlefield were just as much of a mess when it came to teamwork .. Its a per match and per crew basis and have nothing to do with past BF classes or New loadout/specialist system its the individuals who create teamplay .. And no ones in past BF felt obligated to have X and Y in their classes or felt the need to help Randoms blueberry ..
The problem with BF back then and still is now , its the focus on Squad of 4 only instead of team wide cooperations .. Most squads in past BF and BF now are individualistic and play among themselves because Dice set it up like this since Bad company 1 .. but back then it was 12 vs 12 games so a squad of 4 was enough to win if good being 1/3 of the team by themselves .. Now 4 guys is 1/16 of the team and in BF4 it was 1/8 of the team wich was already problematic ...
We need bigger lobby .. Platoon structure 4 squads of 4 with a platoon leader .. VOIP communication between squads and platoons leads to call for help for focus on X and Y frontlines etc..
We need proximity chat so we can ask our blueberry around or give them callout etc..
So i think your point of view is not fair to the game and not fair to yourself .. maybe change your preconceive ideas and give the new system a real chance instead of trying to blame it for the shortcomming of poor team mates ..
