Teamwork
Hey guys I have a crazy idea. Instead of blaming the specialists for no teamwork, how bout we blame the battlefield community that seems to forget that teamwork is essential. Crazy idea I know.

Well yes, you are 100 percent correct, BUT specialist does not PROMOTE teamwork. AS a specialist you can manage it all by youself.
The class system in previous games worked towards promoting teamwork hence you could not give ammo to youself while also firing AT rockets and heal yourself.
Besides who finds it immersive playing against 63 woody lookalikes ....
With all due respect, you’re lying to yourself if you think the classes promoted teamwork. The same problems I face now happened in every battlefield game with classes. They are just exasperated more in this title. Medics in older titles would just run past you, support wouldn’t drop ammo no matter if you shot them or talked to them in chat. The only classes that did play teamwork were recon and engineer and those classes were more solo orientated

This is so wrong. I can go play Battlefield 1 right now which not only has the class system in place, but also some of the best squad features in the series and see the same solo player mentality in squads that is so prevalent in BF2042. There is no difference. If the class system promoted teamwork, then why was there always so little of it in previous Battlefield games? The lack of teamwork in previous Battlefield games is probably the main reason why the developers were so comfortable changing things in BF2042.
This series needs a ranked area where wins matter. That is the only way to get the team players in the Battlefield community in the same place for truly great matches all of the time.
It seems to me that the "lone wolf" self serving, self important, selfish players are more the norm than the exception nowadays. This goes for most games and not just in Battlefield. As memory recalls, and this is going back a ways, in BF3 you could run your own clan server and voice was either available ingame or through TS or something similiar. We had lots of good times when we could communicate and be there for one another. I also dont think crossplay was a thing back then either not that Im saying that this is an issue for discussion in this thread.

how do you do all 3 of those things with the same loadout?
* mic
* ability to change squad
* map showing squad targets of other teams
* more points for tr play actions
are several things that could be added to help promoter team play.
the classes / specialists issue is kinda pointless point to really argue because we haven’t even got the basics in place to be able to get the most out of each approach.
whilst I prefers classes, I can see both playing a part in different scenarios or a battlefield Universe. Why does it have to be one over the other? It’s not like they’re really that different from each other. You could expand upon the cannon of a bF universe to leverage the system.
- @Psubond With Angel. Which makes the "The Specialists are to blame" a mute point, when the only one to blame is Angel 😉
- @0ld_yell0w Only the specialist Angel can give his self ammo and fire an AT rockets nobody else can do that…and no he can’t heal his self also while getting ammo and using AT launcher. What are talking about
