I think you should limit how many of each class can be on the field
I really enjoy recent updates because some of the changes bring a glimpse of hope.
ENGINEER
Personally, I have a problem with the Engineer as a class. Boris, Mike, and Lis are equipped with LMG, which is a weapon primarily used for eradicating waves of enemies and suppressing them. So Engineer nowadays is much more oriented on Infantry Combat at a distance instead of the anti-vehicular domain. I believe that SMGs or short barrel Carbines and Shotguns would be much preferable to LMGs in this scenario honestly. To defend itself while necessary for the love of God and focus on tasks. I feel like in 64-player maps with 3 rockets or 3 C4s in equipment, ain`t simply enough to be effective against vehicles. 2 C4s planted on the tank should destroy it... but I think that 3 are required now. Engineers must have a wrench or a repair tool 100% guaranteed in their load-outs. Auto repairs in vehicles should only happen if a player decides to resign from an active defense like a smoke screen etc. I really liked the mechanic in BFV with repairs while staying in the vehicle. Repairs outside the vehicle should be more relevant.
Right now I see 35%-40% playing as Engineer which is quite high, this might be caused for 3 reasons:
one is a powerful and reliable LMG as a primary weapon,
and second is not enough rockets to deal with a tank,
third finally is high effectiveness when it comes to scoring some points with rockets actually.
So which one is it? Why there are so many ppl going for an Engineer role and not repairing much xD?
ASSAULT
I have nothing to add to this class. I think there could be even 5 C4s available or 2 Claymores in the equipment pool. 25-30% of players at first glance utilize this class.
SUPPORT
Well, I would rather have AMMO and MEDs as completely separate classes or sub-classes. Again Carbines, SMGs are fine for a medic to stay a little bit behind more powerful weapons. Support should have LMG either Assault or Battle Rifle. I feel like there are 15-25% of players utilizing this class. I feel like right now players have way too much ammo.
SNIPER
I feel like only 5-10% of players decide to be a Sniper during the match. Why? This might be a sucking balance or user or bad net code involved. So which one is it again?
I feel like Paik is a little nerfed a little bit too much now. 3D posture scans will always be too much.
Caspers scan pulse scan could indicate the general direction of the enemy.
Sniper Rifles could be much more effective at a distance of 15-25 meters and then the damage might drop off a little bit. The sniper class is slightly underpowered for now.
To make Snipers even better as a class, the general player movement could be lower by 5% except for Tactical Sprint... and tactical sprints could only last 15 seconds, not all the time. Players should utilize Tactical Sprint in a smart way to bring some skill bar into a game. I think that player movement is still too high and sometimes it`s hard to hit a moving target. Sniper Rifles, DMRs, and Battle Rifles could be fine for this class. Sniping is a little bit disappointing.
Overall I`m happy to see some changes. Cheers.

The truth is, the people who were still playing this game loved (!) playing with the Specialists. You have now introduced classes for a player base that is no longer there. What's the point?
I've been playing Battlefield since BF 1942, would I have liked a normal BF with classes? Yes! I don't care if there are Specialists! But now, 1 year after release, changes like this, feel like an April Fool's joke.
On top of that, the complete way the game is played has been changed. No one has anti-air or anti-tank weapons anymore. So tanks and helicopters are completely op again.
And one more thing: Specialists like Crawford were already completely useless before. And now they are even more so. The only engineer is Liz and she can't equip the good missiles like Javelin.
The update is absolute crap! I hate the new class division!
lol this is classic DICE the past 6 years or so. Spending a lot of time changing things that don't make things better but just make them different and then doing so after everything got used to what was and realized the new ways had its positives (after they mob mentality wears off) while introducing a whole new slew of problems because none of the new changes are well thought out. I could see this coming from 23 miles away.

After playing a bit more, I can certainly say gameplay has improved drastically.
Is it sarcasm, dreams, or desperate fiction?

The roles were clearly defined and very effective in their respective class.
@Ironhead841I agree but let's be honest, most Battlefield players never played BF2 and don't realize we had 6 man squads, a fighting commander with radar stations and 7 classes. BF3 was a consolidation of some of BF2's classes and worked rather well for the average BF player.
So? Let's bring back the Battlefield 2 class system then! What's wrong with that?

I do not like the new system. this is not a class system because the weapons are not locked, all it does is interupt playstyles that people have settled into for the past 14 months since launch.
this is not the game i purchased and have roughly 650 hours in and my desire to play is gone. previously i ran antivehicle combos such as Rao with stinger, angel with various launchers or AT mines. neither combo are useable now.
Lis is locked out of 60% of engineer gadgets
crawford and boris have useless specialist gadgets to fight vehicles and are nearly useless against infantry so if you want to use a FXM, javelin or M5 you basically give up 2 gaget slots
the fun is gone in the game
What is expressed above…that’s it. I can’t believe that after playing Battlefield for so many years, that I may actually stop. Call of Duty is not an alternative.
You mean the NEW COD games are not an alternative. Well, I can understand that. But there is stuff like Advanced Warfare, Black Ops II, Modern Warfare 3, and Call of Duty: World At War. Those games are not too bad.
