personally, I'm fine with specialists, however, putting them in classes and making them more unique to their teams would feel more like classes of old,
maps are dog crap IMHO, i mean i have no clue how 2042 maps can look so empty compared to bf1 maps, they feel so cold and desolate that it's untrue.
vehicles IMHO there are just too many of them at once in some maps you can be against two tanks at once and just never destroy them unless multiple people are going for them. I also feel that two shells to the backend should destroy them or at least disable them. atm, they just tank all three shells, and it's just dumb. ( also sometimes direct hits just don't register at all)
guns need much balance work atm SMGs are godlike it's pointless using ars as the smg just outplayed it in all ranges I'm unsure how they got that so wrong but I'm hoping the first session patch fixes that but tbh I'm doubtful.
@V1kingH4mster Yet on BF4, Golmud Railroad there were 4 tanks per team on a smaller map and people loved it. Plus LAV's.
Spot-on with observation on Golmud. I think it actually comes down to a really simple idea with regard to BF games: BF games are all about vehicles. When "balancing" is implemented by reducing opportunities to get into a vehicle that can have meaningful impact on the battle, you are moving the game closer to CoD territory. That's what I play when I feel like running around on foot with a gun and not much else.
Does every map need a ton of vehicles? No. But when I look at a map like Hourglass and I can go an entire match without scoring a single tank or bolte (can only get LATV or hovercraft), it really points to how much is missing from this game when compared to BF4. No opportunities for epic ground vehicle battles a la "Silk Road", for example. I really think the devs have lost sight of the role vehicles should play in a BF game, and consequentially, they don't see ground vehicle-based battles that require completely different strategic thought, as a priority. This latest patch feels like the devs are saying "yeah, we would rather you guys just run-n-gun some more." That's just not what I want from BF. YMMV.
@IPFreely_C4S Exactly, couldn't agree more.
