Suggestion for the Specialists
*Disclaimer: I do not play the game. I currently do not have a device that could support it. Hopefully that will change sometime soon. I have however done as much research and know as much about this game as I possibly can in my current situation. With this in mind, I hope that I am still welcome to post here. If not, feel free to delete this.*
I have an idea for the Specialists: Keep them, but add a Star Wars Battlefront 2 style class system. This means that the game still has the Specialists, but there are also normal infintry soldiers. Lock different Specilists to one faction, and make it so ONLY 1 player can play as one at any given time. Also, I suggest giving the Specialists more content, such as short films or better descriptions. I think that if we knew more about their characters, it would make it easier for people to except them as characters.
Example for Specialist faction locking: Irish, Dozer, Falk, Casper, and Mackay for the U.S side, with Boris, Paik, Rao, Sundance and Angel on the Russian side. (I also think that either Sundance or Falk could be switched to the other faction reletivly easily.)
As for shortfilms, I'd be happy with 5-10 min films that give better backstory for the Specialists. Example: Dozer explaining his journey into the U.S, and talking about his family, or Casper talking about his difficulties struuggling with losing his family and how it works into his becoming a No-Pat. These are just some rough ideas.
Thank you for taking the time to read this through, and I apologise for any spelling/grammatical errors.
Have a nice day!
PS: I actually like the Specialists, character wise anyway.
