Lol. The subreddit is the most toxic place going. What should happen is no developer even goes there. Half the people on there most likely doesn’t even play the game anymore, it’s just a breeding ground for internet arguing and downvoting. ‘Most people agree’, did you count them?
Like? I liked the specialists before the patch. When you could pick any specialist and use ANY weapon (albeit Liz) anything else is just taking away.
Dislike.
The one specialist that can go vertical (McKay) and get above everyone can't use the spotting device (SOFLAM)?
There is no longer an incentive to use Angel so nobody gets ammo now. He needs a attractive quality.
The Sentry turret is beyond useless
As a lonely player, Specialists are the best thing that happened to BF, I'm tired of playing with useless teammates.
In 2042 I can kill, heal, revive, and give ammo with one class, almost perfect, If I could use a rocket launcher at the same time that would be perfect.
Let's face it most players are useless, not sure if they're noobs or just don't care to help the team, they're focusing on killing and they're not even good at it.
Having the option to be the ultimate player and help yourself and your team is a good thing in my book.
Classes are inextricably part of Battlefield, and are a key part of why I play battlefield.
I am thrilled that classes have partially returned, and wish weapon restrictions also came back (as they should for future titles).
I have noted a drastic increase in gadget variety, and have seen far more examples of people repairing vehicles for each other. It’s great to see.
People think classes restrict them, but I think it actually increases variety. Rather than everyone running the meta gadget with the meta throwable and the meta weapon, full classes with weapon restrictions present a bunch of choices and trade offs for the player to consider. You get more people planting mines because they really just wanted the classes weapon but might as well throw down these mines they deployed with.
You NEED a particular AR? Great, enjoy being a medic, stick close to friends in case vehicles show up.
You wanna hunt tanks? Great, but your anti infantry capabilities are reduced.
Those sorts of trade offs literally are battlefield to me - it encourages me to drastically vary my play style for each loadout, and to consider what my squad and team needs.
I have friends who I’ve played BF with my whole life, and we had long abandoned 2042 as it just wasn’t the game we wanted.
With the class update, it’s starting back in the rotation.
Again, I hope the next game launches with full classes returned.
BF4 had a good system with some weapons being available for all classes, and maybe this is as flexible as the system needs to be.
@MooselotteOk I guess this place is no better than reddit then. You know you can make your point that you prefer classes without such wild statements like:
“Now you know how EVERYONE felt at launch”. I guess they had classes in the closed and open betas when you spent your 100 dollar preorder then whipped them out for release ‘surprise!’ right?
Typical thinking you are adding weight to your own opinion by liberally adding pronouns to your opinion pieces like ‘everyone’, ‘we’ as though you categorically speak for the majority lol.
Also ‘tbh’ I am not looking for a solution from you, nor did I ask for one. I’m giving my feedback to the person who asked for it at the beginning of the thread and I already said the changes are what they are.
I am curious though if you were there for launch, then abandoned the game in disgust as you claim (along with EVERYONE else of course), because you can’t have a Battlefield without classes.. how come you are only showing up now in this forum with your very first post? Just how many hours in this horrible game do you have, hmm I wonder.
