• Class and game mechanic design favoring symbiotic interaction with others—complementation; squad wide class restrictions of other classes than standard rifleman like in Insurgency Sandstorm and Hell Let Loose.
Other than the class restrictions, I agree with these.
It serves for balancing purpose: no longer medic trains, spam of engineers' rockets or hill-humping snipers in abundant numbers. This works well on Hell Let Loose for example, limits can still be circumvented while sacrificing unit benefits.

It's mostly a difference of opinion really, and I personally just don't want to be limited in what I can choose in what I see as a largely casual arcade shooter.

You know what, after thinking topic clearly I am on same page about that limitation thing. Let server administrator create their own experience while on official one there shouldn't be any limits. Best of both worlds!

I guess another compromise would be an official mode akin to hardcore (or just an official HC mode if you're into that). I do think that could work well as it's similar to what you proposed originally, but officially supported and in the main menu.
