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.
@ElliotLHI just wish they'd "track" players better so that if you shot while they were highlighted it was guaranteed to land. It seems to have some slight "tracking" as-is, but it's woefully inadequate and I similarly have to shoot multiple times to heal someone at range if they move at all.
And I think they're technically healing darts or something. It brings me delight that I can "shoot" people to heal them : 3
IMHO, many people conflate squad play/classes and team play.
I have stated in the past that I haven't played in a regular squad since BF2 - lack of time, and friends with different interests, being the main problems. So I generally play in any random squad.
Since BF2, the player base has become 'casualised' beyond recognition, and there is no way back from this. Who remembers LAN parties? FTP games (Fortnite, etc.) habituate solo play, and everybody gets a prize.
I'm sure that EA have plenty of research on the decline of co-operative squad play. I believe this is why we have the current BF2042 situation, with no distinctive classes.
This forum (and all forums, as far as I can tell) is the last refuge of the original BF player, and I don't think there are enough of us to warrant the return to the glory days of BF.
I guess we will find out soon enough!

@Lancelot_du_LacThe interest in BF is still out there, I think if they had included the so called legacy features (or as we call it, Battlefield) they would have had a huge hit. Sure hit reg, and a bunch of other bugs would have been present, and anybody who suffered through 3 and onwards would have known and bitched about it, but still bought the game and played it. Instead we lost all but the most very hardcore BF gamers (and possibly also foolish, I’m still thinking about that) by abandoning almost everything that makes BF, BF. EA has no idea how many people want a return to the glory days of BF. The old guard is still out there, and has way more disposable income than when they were younger. They may want some new players to join, but it’s the old ones with the money, honey. EA will never know how much they lost by mismanaging this game and release.
Spot on, brother!
