The flawed caracters/operators Ideas for a solution . . .

I think you must not understand the concept of being versatile in the gameplay and watching and understanding the scoreboard and the tide of the game. You switch accordingly or just how you want to play. Bringing back classes would essentially be the same thing except less variety of choices for pinned down spots or a game with heavy vehicles players or taking positions when needed can’t forget a hard spot where people need healing the specialists are exactly what they the name implies special skills for certain things. Definitely need to bring back the scoreboard though. I would love a character editor maybe even something like cod Purchase items but interchangeable for chest, arms, head. For sure need voice back also

They need to adress the specialists first and foremost to eliminate the problem of them being duplicates.
Delete the voice-lines and names.
Names should be replaced with a generic specialist class like Grappler Specialist/Demolition Specialist/Wingsuit Specialist/Marksman etc.

Instead of having only 1 specialists, have them be as a Specialist Class that were trained at a secret training facility. That makes more sense as well because no one funds training for only one soldier at a time. They would train a group of soldiers. They could add specialist rankings for best specialist classes to create incentive and engage players to be the best in their favorite class.

Generally being able to customize your character within reasonable limits to preserve realism is a feature almost 100% of players want.
Distinctable with class, but customizable to stand out of the crowd and "make it your own" character.
Looking at Apex Legends, where the characters are so different physically that youre able to tell them apart even though they have similar skins or skins you've never seen before.
Apex: You can still see that it is a Lifeline even with custom skin.
BF: You should ideally still see that it is an Assault class soldier even with custom camo.
I think devs shouldn't underestimate small but impactful customizations like a gold chain, special boots, a distinctful patch, a scarf, motorcycle gloves, pilot glasses, dust goggles, a pack of sigarettes etc. These can be difficult unlocks as a show-off "bragging rights". Its stuff like this that makes you feel good about your achievements and showing off on the Battlefield.

Battlefield 4 had this on point with customizable gamertag icons which also showed up on your weapon and soldier as a patch. Players even figured out that if you covered a large surface of this patch with a distinctful background color, often pink, your whole character would turn out with a pink shade. Its stuff like this that players enjoy, but the core gameplay and atmosphere is what drives this type of engagement and is a positive sign of players thriving.

Example: Someone asks, "how did you get that cool scarf?" -"Its a specialist achievement unlock.". This small thing creates incentive to play the game and if its executed right, something cool and something that makes sense, this can be highly motivational.

I could talk for hours about this topic.

What would be the best way to handle the flawed caracter messup that dice made in 2042 ? In my opinion simply the following:

1 Throw the operators to hell and burry them along with, their stupid unrealistic skills like wallhack, and what not, and never look back at them . . . 

2 Bring back the classes. . .

3 Introduce a propper caracter editor for the body,pitch of voice, and so on. Clothing/armour, trinkets and what not should be handled as previously. . . 

Personally i think that a caracter editor, would be a welcome adition.

What do people think of this idea, as an alternative to the flawed original concept that is in the game currently ???

I'll take door number 1. Trash 'em bring back classes.

Battlefield doesn't need flying squirrels, spiderman, impenetrable shields, wall-hacks, auto-guns etc. etc.

i look at the specialists as a gadget slot.  i like the flexibility to setup my loadout for the exact situation i face so i hope we keep the specialists as they are

Remove the personalities. The specialists just become codenames. Let people customise their own characters like Battlefield 5.

I find it incredibly lazy that both factions have the same exact character with the same exact personality. 

Compare this bf4 or bf1 which had faction specific appearances

To be clear, I do prefer classes and the weapon type restrictions that brought. Made playing a certain way feel special.

Bf1

Medics specialized in healing and rifles

Assault specialized in destruction and shotguns/smgs

Support specialized in resupplying and LMGs

Recon specialized in spotting and snipers

Bf4 probably did it best with the overlap between weapon types and weapon classes while still making some weapon types class specific

Regarding skins, surely they can make different models dependent on faction? Bf4 Chinese and American class models looked very different

Who's to say they can't? Perhaps I have a fundamental misunderstanding of T1 skins. 

In addition to having different character models for each faction, the blue/red glowsticks can also be present

So those that have T1 skins unlocked will still be able to use them. This is under the assumption that the added character models have the same T1 skins
