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...

The ability to recognize and choose the target feels great in previous BFs. The level of complexity in Conquest comes down right now to happy running and gunning. You can`t tell in BF2042 at first glance if the enemy is going for spraying with RPK, planting C4, or anything else. There is more to be taken into consideration, more variables. The brain goes on fire just by seeing the same characters on both sides. There are only available 2-3 AT rockets so as a matter of fact, effectiveness is even lower than in previous BFs.
Squad Leader is only on paper and does nothing to the gameplay. Every player in the squad behaves like a mobile spawn point. There are no commander (BF2/4) or Squad abilities (BFV). Lack of Squad Management, which translates to no option to lock the squad to play with friends. No VoIP either in teamplay-based mode.
The game in Conquest mode is a pure abomination with its level design and gameplay solutions. The vehicles don't provide additional firepower to other units on the ground. Cars, hovercrafts, and even jets plow through the 128 player blobs. Instead of .50 cal, most vehicles have Gatling guns. No Quads, no motorcycles, no simple transport, only ridiculous mean of transport with Hovercraft and Little Bird on every single map. The idea of the theatre of war is completely alien in BF2042.
What on earth may not go wrong with 2042.
@Twordy can't agree more
I remember back in the days when you where with your tank, here not to blood blast and get your 200 k but support your teammate piercing through.
Then suddenly you see a RECON (then later in the franchise a SUPPORT) that manager to sneak through to you ... everybody onboard going " hooo sh*****t exit exit exit we been C4 ! "
Or Suddenly seeing an ENGINEER sneak out of cover. " AT AT AT ! "
Or even being MEDIC stuck near an objective because being blocked by a tank. And the huge relief of seeing friendly ENGINEER approaching (when one engineer had enough rockets to take care of one tank)
We always had lonewolf but the damn it wasn't not restricting people for the pleasure of restricting them. Restricting isn't even the proper term. It was organizing, game core had a logic a structure ... now it's mess party heros clones fly run and jump all around. Vehicle go by at freaking 300 km/h.
Which is exactly what the last trailers showed. A freaking mess with a dumb hero shouting " what a time to be alive" ... just shut up you hipster in a flying suit, wth are you doing in a BF ^^ ?
Quite funny that the first trailer actually showed the perfect opposite, organized squad of SOLDIERS moving strategically.
One point kinda told us the EA didn't gave a sh** anymore about the BF DNA and spirit recently. Where's the BF theme ? I mean the legendary BF theme ! Used in trailers because this theme was giving you goosebumps, because when you heard it you knew. Now it's random song pop / rock with a dude shouting "Yeaaaaaah yeahhhhhh" ...
