I'm with @Stew360 the Specialist are an evolution of the old class system
Also, with Specialist they bring you the freedom of choice to build any class you want, you need only to adapt it
And I repeat myself again when I say that player are responsible for team play not classes…
Also, EA/DICE already monetizing BF since since BF2
For BF2 there where the Special Forces an add on which was very good but then they released Booster Packs instead of an another Add on
BF4 had beside the map pack also cases with EXP boost and attachments...
Also, VIP which could bypass normal ques on a server…
BF1 had weapons skins, BFV hat weapon skins and Skins for soldiers
So, they already monetizing skins since a long time…
And as Stew360 says the Specialist bring much mor to the game than selling skins
But it seems more like that some people can only see the worst things instead of the good which BF2042 has.
So have a nice Day and See you on the Battlefield
@CountSero Except I can't build the class I want because one of the abilities is locked to the crappy specialist. If I want to run full on vehicle support, I can't have a repair tool and rocket/mines. Its one or the other, which is severely limiting. So what? Am I suppose to hope for a specialist and another feature to come out with one of those things to play how I want? But at least my sentry has a little elf hat on it /s
@AntEater1997 that you can only have one or the other is good thing
You are not a one-man army mate 😉
And due to the fact that they doubled the team size the equipment is spread over the whole team so it’s no need that one squad can do all alone 😉
@CountSero That doesn't make me a one man army, it limits team play when all the gadgets are in the same pool. People will objectively pick dps based gadgets over anything else. They should have at least gave all the support/engineer style specialists a default repair tool like how it was in bfv. It also doesn't help that repairing doesn't even give you points. It's basically telling me to not play that way.
