What is the fascination with classes?
why are people so wrapped around the axle on not allowing the flexibility that we have now and insisting on restricting the playstyle of others? people can set their loadout however they like so the...

@Man_iLoveFishing i've looked through it and i can't find an argument other than "i don't like it". i think people are just control freaks and want to force a specific set of rules on people *which you can already do in portal*
if they want to rework specialists to get rid of the stupid one liners and rework the cosmetics fine, i encourage that, but the player's ability to play to their strengths is fully realized with the freedom to pick your weapons and gadgets (at the end of the day specialists are just a gadget slot)

I don't think there is a better argument than "I don't like it".
Now the reasons may vary but the end result can push away a community.
- @OzzLink well, they did also sell 4 more specialists to people and they already have the money. if they don't deliver they will get sued (class action) if they don't refund the money.
I bought the gold edition sadly but looking at the player base plummeting and the constant complains about the missing classes, basic features and maps I think we can all agree that the specialists where a fail and I agree. Specialists = lazy design so they wont have to create specific class weapons (just look at the current 19 weapons and 3 pistols in 2021 lol) and and skins they thought they will sell. They did not create the specialists for us the gamers, they made them mostly for the reasons above. This is a piece of software and it can be remade and fixed ... the community, well that's another story. And again "I don't like it" the best damn argument a gamer can give you when leaving behind a game.

absolutely true. but it is not an argument for forcing other people to play your way.
i do not believe for one second that if specialists went away and the class system was brought back it would result in people coming back to the game if none of the actual problems with gameplay were fixed. such as squad management, scoreboard, voip, server browser etc
i bet if all those were fixed and specialists were left alone a lot of people would return (especially if they got rid of the stupid one liners)

Agree. It has pushed me away after 20 years.
There have been a lot of arguments as to why people dont like specialist.
But as Dice said “If you dont like it, dont play it”. Guess many have chosen this.Some would say it creates a better structure and balance and provides for more teamplay oriented gameplay and for the refractor engine games I would agree but Dice Sweden has shied away from that kind of gameplay since the Bad Company days and honestly I've seen more teamwork in 2042 (albeit mostly by pure circumstance) than I have from previous frostbite games.
I would say a well balanced class system would be a lot better than what we have in 2042 but Dice Sweden hasn't been able to offer a well balanced class system since 2142.
