I spent hours on falck and now they have taken the rockets out of her hands and given them to the engineer class. Those outside the engineer group were left completely defenseless against tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters and planes. congratulations, I applaud this great mind.

@Prep768My opinion from the beginning has been to leave the specialists and loadouts alone. I've always wondered why more people did not speak up who have similar thoughts.
For the record. I have no issues with crossplay for all three platforms either.
Are you serious? Were you not here at all for the last year and did you not read the specialist feedback threads. Lots of people were VERY vocal about leaving the specialist system as is instead of shoehorning in a class system that kept specialists.
I'm not going to sit by and let you say that this is our fault because we didnt speak up because that is a false statement.
I just don't get what they're thinking, they just seem to make the game worse with every update. How are restrictions helping anyone and make the game more enjoyable? When the game started, I mostly used Casper, because of the C5-drone, and oh my God, was that fun to play, but no, they nerfed Casper to hell, so I switched to Mackay because of his grappling hook, and that was fun as well. I play as a sniper 99% of the time, so I took an ammo box, the proximity sensor and a decent rifle, and that way I usually got 10-20 kills and sometimes close to 80-100 spot assists in a game. All gone now. No ammo crate and no proximity sensor for Mackay. As I said before, they're not making anything better, they're just restricting * all the time, and that is everything but fun.

This is the most open/liberal class system in the franchise and people are still complaining lol.
People are complaining because we had total freedom for over a year from launch (well over half of the life cycle of the game).
If the game launched like this it would be one thing but it didn't and changing the game this radically over a year after launch is going to make people angry.
They even changed the button layouts on controller after people had over a year of muscle memory built up.
Then there is the crap loadout system now that is horrid on engineer. If i want to swap from using boris or crawford with fxm to lis. I have to change gadgets in a crap ui as well because lis cant deploy with a launcher.
I think people have a right to be irritated and complain
The Specialists are literally just skins. So instead of playing Assault as generic soldier (which would be cool), you can play as Dozer, Mackay, Sundance, or Zain. By selecting one of those, you get their Specialist gadget and trait, but that's it, that is the difference between previous class breakdowns and this one. You can still use any weapon now, which provides more flexibility than before.
The problem is this game was never intended to be a true BF title, it was BR or Hazard Zone with no more than 4 players (Quads). No need for factions, platoons, or CLASSES.
So we are where we are. If you want to use M5 or FXAA, you have to choose the skin that looks like Boris or Crawford, no biggie.

It's not more flexible, as the gadgets are restricted. As I said, before, Assault (why is Mackay assault anyway and not recon?? Isn't the ability to get to high vantage points perfect for recon?) can't carry ammo crates or proximity sensors, which is utterly rtdd, because why wouldn't they be able to have that? It's a lot more restricted than it was before, giving you less freedom and thus ruining the game for some of us. I don't like restrictions being imposed on a game that was fun when they first released it. Actually, it was almost perfect, when it came out.

Yes, some of the Specialists don't fit neatly into a traditional class, square peg round hole problem.
The restrictions are just a specific Specialist gadget and trait can't have specific gadgets. That's it, that is the restriction.
I was not a fan of them going backwards and wasting dev time on things other than performance and new content. However, I understand why they did it.
If they didn't make this change now, and the next title reintroduced classes, that title would get as much of a bad reception as this title did. So to condition the player base and even the media, they brought classes back so the next title will be more well received as Back to Battlefield.
you are saying air and ground vehicles are supposed to obliterate infantry in 1v1 situation and I'm agree with that. a tank can not be destroyed with three direct rocket hit, is this normal? an air vehicle can not be destroyed even two direct hits, is this normal? where is the reality?

Exactly, and that's what's ruining the game for me Mackay was the perfect sniper for me with the right gadgets, take an ammo crate with you, go to a vantage point, spot for the team and pick off other snipers. Now I can choose between grenades that are useless to me, as I'm far away from the hot combat zones and other useless stuff. And if they're afraid going back to classes will get them a bad rep, then why do it?
They could've introduced this in a specific game mode for those who like it, but they shouldn't force that garbage on everybody.
What's with so many people just wanting to delete vehicles the second they get in their atmosphere? It's a vehicle they shouldn't just be able to be dealt with like you do infantry vs infantry. That's a big factor, if a particular vehicle is dominating an area you either equip yourself to deal with it, take a counter vehicle, just go somewhere else and give up that area or ask chat for people to deal with it. You can't simply have it all whenever you want or need it.
Said it many times, the Battlefield experience has always been that, never fully equiped to deal with any and all situations at hand. You gotta adapt and there are plenty of the tools in the game to do this.
Battlefield was hijacked with 2042 and it feels like it's finally being taken back to what made the franchise what it is today. Hijackers had their fun the past 1,5 year now it's time for to those that wanted this from the start.
