@carsono311Yeah exactly. They still fall under one of the 4 main classes, but there's now the freedom of choosing whatever Primary, Secondary, Gadget and Throwable - offers way more flexibility and creativity instead of being locked to certain things players may have not liked and felt "forced" to use, which has definitely felt like the case with the usual 4 classes. If Specialsists didn't have their unique skill sets it'd be too casual, just hope all Specialists' unique features that releass are actually useful and not just 1 or 2 of them. Time will tell.
Again specialists aren't classes and there loose categorization under a class is irrelevant as any specialist can play how you want them to play. In a game that emphasizes military teamwork and role structure complete build freedom undermines that completely. Dices "empowerment" of players is also a giant middle finger to team play and instead is an embracement of selfish gaming. The entire pitch for this game so far has been very michael bay/cool guys walk away from explosions which battlefield historically has been the more grounded fps which was its biggest selling point. The introduction of one man army like features is not great and my give a care to "wait for gameplay" is wearing dangerously thin. At this point the singular thing keeping any kind of interest for me is hazard zone.
- 4 years ago@WinterbornGuard Never said they were, just pointing out that they're still gonna have a connection to one of the 4 classes. And "military teamwork/role structure/team play" is still gonna be there, just not in the form of 'pick one of 4 classes and that's it' (it's also just a game, so it'll once again result in most players just doing whatever they want, a lack of 4 classes won't stop that).
I've got nothing against the 4 classes, but also fine with the Specialists. I'm just so glad 2042 isn't a straight-out copy-and-paste of BF3 or BF4, which I think so many people were expecting. Would've been so dull. It's not going away so people overreacting about it need to just accept it or don't buy it. At the end of the day it's their loss, not mine.- lzilchetl4 years agoSeasoned Ace
I think i would like to see more about progression, levelling-up, achievements and rewards. I've always used these to work through the guns and gadgets. Hated the timed challenges on bFV, although I was always compelled to complete them but don't like to feel pressured to play. I like having my own plan for my achievements and developing a specialist armoury and checking off achievements, badges and medals on the way.
- 4 years ago@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R This is the exact kind of unthinking, cliche-ridden response I expected. Thank you for your input, I am now 100% convinced that all my worst fears about this game are justified. LOL
Have you noticed that CS:GO is a "straight-out copy-and-paste" of the previous Counter-Strike games, which hasn't innovated anything since the late 90s, and yet, people are still playing it in 2021? I wonder why that is? Some game devs know they already carved out their niche and don't have to reinvent the wheel or chase trends in other shooters to stay relevant. Why can't that be the case here?
You're telling me to accept it or don't buy it? Why don't you just go play Overwatch or Black Ops instead of ruining Battlefield?- 4 years ago@CustomerChair I'm sorry you lack vision and can't handle the painful truth.
Milking nostalgia isn't always the complete solution for new games lol, so vanilla. Talk about an unthinking and cliche expectation!
Nah, never played those games - I'm allergic to trash. I'm gonna play BF2042 instead. Unless devs screw up the launch, it'll be an enjoyable game.
There's no use wasting energy complaining about something that's not going to change. I'm sure there's a game for you out there; might want to just stick with the next CoD lol.
And how can I be "ruining" Battlefield? I've got nothing to do with the development, just stating my opinions. Salty!
