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.
One more thing. The class system increases the already large amount of uselessness. For example, why can't Sundance (and all others) use the beacon? She can use her ability, fly behind enemy lines and die senselessly. Sundance is now near useless. Pike's main ability is her scanner that can only be used in close combat. But then she can't take advantage of the class in using a sniper rifle. The same goes for the motion sensor and T-UGS. It turns out that the T-UGS and beacon sniper can only use for his personal purposes or not use the advantage of the class in weapons. Then what kind of team play are we talking about? And there are plenty of such irreparable contradictions and inconsistencies. Who did they listen to and why did they do not think, but guided only by emotions?
@NazT55 I played BF2 so much I made a machinima movie for it back in 2009. Sadly took all the vids down back when it seemed like Youtube was clamping on stuff and I didn't want to lose my account. In hindsight I wish I left them up, as they'd more likely get hit with stuff if uploaded now than back then. Trailer vid for it was still up on an old account, tho.

@PsubondThey did half measures to keep people who liked no classes happy.
Hopefully BF7 restricts weapons to classes too.
No one is happy. Specialists are still here and people who like freedom of loadouts got totally screwed.
Snipers will still take Falc or Mackey. 99% of players will not use the main ability of the engineer class - repair tool. And so on. A meaningless system that imposes meaningless restrictions and inconveniences. No?

I didn't study botany. I've been in BF since it very first started with the free demo of BF 1942 Operation Battle Axe. The first modern BF with rankings, squads, orders and unlocks was BF 2. But it has always retained soldier classes. Another thing opposing armies have in any military conflict are uniforms to tell them apart. There are no uniforms in this game. All the specialists look the same and can pick from any dress skin on both sides. Up to now BF has always had uniforms. This is just a homogenized blend with no contrast.
So this game was a total failure and complete disaster when it was released and it needed a deep overhaul because this apple didn't fall from the BF tree. It fell from a completely different tree and when players first bit into this apple they discovered that it had no taste and so they left the game and a lot of servers in the evening were covered by bots. So getting back to the roots that grew the BF tree is important. This game was a disgrace in the beginning. Now it is less of one. This game will never be perfect because it wasn't designed that way and they are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. But EA/DICE seem to be trying because they are trying to recoup their losses and make things right for their players.
