Class no longer restricts which weapons you can bring onto the Battlefield thanks to a fully customizable Loadout. As a Specialist, you’ll be able to customize the following:
Here is what a customized Loadout could look like:
As with all Specialists, Mackay’s Specialty and Trait are unique to him and cannot be changed as part of his Loadout:

I don't see how specialists are a cash grab, unless the only way to unlock them is with money. It sounds like DICE just wants to try something new, and they also said their player data shows players choose a character based mainly on the primary weapon that character can use.
But with the new specialist system players will choose characters based on what class that specialist is and their unique class abilities, such as healing, sniping, repairing, and grapple hook. 😉
So if someone chooses a rocket launcher for their equipment slot, then they'll have to give up carrying a supply crate or anti-aircraft weapons. I think it looks fun.

- Primary Weapon
- Equipment (items anyone can use such as a Medical Crate or Supply Crate)
- Secondary Weapon
- Throwable (such as Frag or Incendiary Grenade)
Here is what a customized Loadout could look like:
- Primary Weapon: M5A3 (Assault Rifle)
- Equipment: Supply Crate
- Secondary Weapon: G57 (Sidearm)
- Throwable: Frag Grenade
As with all Specialists, Mackay’s Specialty and Trait are unique to him and cannot be changed as part of his Loadout:
- Specialty: Grappling Hook
- Trait: Nimble

All of which could be achieved without making them characters. The character aspect is 100% money driven decision. Black ops series of CoD has cashed in on this exact specialist concept for years. EA knows they will take in on cosmetics which is why they are doing it.
