@PsubondClasses are one of the three bedrock pillars of Battlefield that makes Battlefield what it is since the very first Battlefield 20 years ago. Classes are an integral portion of the paper/rock/scissors balancing that made Battlefield balanced and predictable that 2042 completed eschewed. It is impossible to balance every permutation of hero/weapon/gadget that the community can come up with; it's far easier for DICE to balance weapons/gadgets around classes with their restrictions due to the aforementioned tradeoffs.
Classes prevent people from being a jack of all trades, it encourages weapon and gadget diversity because you have to choose between a specific weapon type and a specific role instead of everyone running the meta hero/weapon/gadget to be a lone wolf like you see in 2042 and Warzone. Overall it makes for a healthier more team oriented experience.
The real question is if one doesn't like Battlefield why play Battlefield and demand that the formula change to be something else when other games do what 2042 is copying much better?
i'm not the one demanding that the battlefield game made by the developer that made other battlefield games that i purchased changes, others are.
if the game released with classes i would play that, but it didn't. i like the flexibility to choose what i want. paper rock scissors is still there. if a helo is wreaking havoc you still have to choose something that can stop it. same with tanks and infantry.
people can create whatever they want in portal but for some reason people are interested in taking away components of the main game because they refuse to use portal.
i see nothing in your argument that objectively points out a problem caused by specialists that will be fixed by classes

So do you just not read @Psubond or do you choose to ignore what you don't want to hear? ragnarok013 made it very clear.
