Specialist

The image described how I feel about specialist. “Just cause you put money into making them don’t mean their valuable”. The game needs a class system back badly! Military roles, having a job to do is the staple of what Battlefield is! Having to choose a class and make sacrifices made the game special and great! BF is not a meta shooter but now that’s all it is. Classes helped balance, made the game unique, and even without a lot of kills you could still make an impact! Like now for example the repair tool is so irrelevant not only because the vehicles self repair but why even run it we I can have a rocket launcher. Just so many other things too! Teamplay is mostly gone! Please bring back classes and real military atmosphere like before it made BF a standout game! The other two images is how you could compromise with what 2042 has to offer while making the game BETTER! Thx for reading..

    @gijoe0414 Have you taken your time and read the story behind the game?

    Have you Watched the exodus video and heard the Intel Wars audio?

    Yes, it is war between USA and Russia which was caused by a faction which has formed under the No-Pats.
    This Faction has tricked USA and Russia into war for they own goals.
    So, there are not the Armies of USA and Russia that fighting they hired the No-Pats for a proxy war. So, with the No-Pats fighting there is not a real military structure anymore, no designated uniforms, ranks and so on.

    Imho this Backstory is interesting and let’s see how they push the narrative with the season that will come.

    And saying the Specialist are killing Teamplay is not true, the players are responsible for Teamplay.

    And if you don’t participate in Teamplay a class would not change it, it is your choice. Maybe learn, adapt and have fun?

    And in BF2042 you find many players, that drop med kits, drop ammo revive and so on.

    If you don’t like its ok, I and many other players still enjoying the freedom of choice to build their own classes.

    Class made the game unique? You know that there are other games that have classes way before BF? For example, the Team fortress Mod from around 1996 and released as Standalone 1999 had a class structure maybe this game was first in the Multiplayer genre, so it is not unique mate.

    And in which way the classes are helping in balancing the game? You know the memes for Sniper Team? Or players choosing the class for the weapon instead of the gadget ?

    Yes, there is an Unbalance between some gadget at the moment but hey the game is out there for around a month some battlefield needed close to a year for balance but hey you you want it done in 4 weeks....

    I think I had more Teamplay in BF2042 with Randoms than I had most of the Time in BF4.

    So be nice, play fair and See you on the Battlefield

    I think we need to give the game a chance, I think the BF2042 story line is actually quite well thought through if you use time to study it ,  and looking at the recent real wars and conficts we have had it is clear that the traditionel enemy and us is no longer clear and constantly ruled by finance and politics.

    We have the possibility of combiining many loadouts to each specialist that give you alot more combinations than we had before. This is also perhaps some of the problem, instead of spamming the Deploy button, I think we need to stop up and think, ok is this working or do I need to change loadout or specialist, or/and find a vehicle.

    I think that we need to get used to all the details and parameters that are available, and perhaps start thinking more tactics. It is difficult though when you just want to relax and have some fun, but then perhaps look more to Portal  instead of AOW.

    On the long term I think the game has the potentiale to keep the majority of players interested, and when you are learning something new, then it is normal to frustrated and demotivated. Compared to COD, there has certainly been put alot more thought and resources to making the game realistisk on engaging, they just need to keep developing.

    I prefer the specialist system to the class system but I do feel a lot of things in the game still function as if they were intended for a class system. I think there's a lot of features and gadgets need to be updated to make sense with the specialist system.

    @gijoe0414 You and 70 to 80% of the player base agrees with you. Just look at the steam and YouTube reviews. They took a failed attempt at a hero BR shooter and slapped BF on it. This game was built on a fractured foundation.

    I would be OK with the specialist if they would mute them 😂 and make some that actually look decent (perhaps like a actual soldier lol). The ones we have are just beyond brutal to have to watch
