Specialists Feature - Conversation
I really dont like having to choose a pre made character and i hate it when said characters have specialised abilities like the ones on the website. I much prefer being just one of the grunts in the ...

@eqoswiftzzz You'll probably be able to change how they look. I don't care about the cosmetics anyway lol. From the PS Blog article:
"Specialists are Battlefield 2042’s different character types. Each comes with a unique Speciality and Trait. The former may take the shape of a grappling hook (for Assault types only – a quick zip to higher spots) OV-P Recon Drone (the mark of the Recon – which can be piloted or parked to pinpoint targets) or S21 Syrette Pistol (handled by Support – firing health vials at those who need them). Those nicely pair with Traits. Assault types are known for their nimbleness, whereas a Support Specialist doubles as a Combat Surgeon, capable of fully restoring a comrade’s health.
Beyond those two unique abilities, Specialists can be customised with whatever loadout you wish, giving you more freedom to create a playstyle that fits you. Battlefield 2042 will offer 10 Specialists on launch."
It looks to me like they are basically classes.
This actually reminds me more of Battlefield 2. Battlefield 2 had 7 classes:
- Sniper - sniper rifles, claymores...
- Spec Ops - carbines, c4..
- Assault - assault rifles, zip lines in special forces..
- Support - ammo, LMGs, grappling hook in special forces
- Medic - healing packs, defib, basically a healing assault class
- Anti-tank - RPGs, mines and all other anti vehicle munitions
- Engineer - repair tool and such
Basically split out the BF4 classes into more specialized set of classes. That's what this setup reminds me of. It worked very well as Battlefield 2 is still generally regarded as the best BF game by long time fans.
@ArchAngeL-PCX I like the customisation of the loud out, but the abilities seem a bit weird. Seeing as in BF4 you got to choose the sort of 'abilities' by picking different tacticals and stuff. But this railroads you to pick a character and get the thing.
But my main problem is that we're playing as specific characters rather than regular dude.

- @Warius5 Is that confirmed that its specific named characters?
- @ArchAngeL-PCX yes go to the website and go down to specialists. they have names etc
- @eqoswiftzzz ok yeah I'm not really liking that part. The loadouts seem ok to me, but not a fan of having to play specialists.
Or do you have to play as one of them? Are there also standard classes in the game like in BFV?
- @ArchAngeL-PCX thats what it says on the website

I just want to play a generic class, if if we're going to choose a "combat role" like in BF5 let us do that from the menu not make a separate "hero" with a back story to play. I loathed the Elites in BF5 and never once used them despite having them all via the latest Steam version of the game.
