Why is everyone complaining so much about the new specialist system?

I really don't understand why people are having such an issue with this new system.  Like ya, I would prefer the old class system but I don't see specialists as that big of an issue. For me though,...

@Ingeniekeyso why is that different from 64 players all using the defib in bf4?

Also, If you watch the trailer carefully, you can see the same characters in the same frame but looking completely different, which means even within each specialist, youll have lots of options for what you look like. 
Though I get the feeling of playing as yourself vs playing a specific character. Though playing games like modern warfare, I never really got a detached feeling.

@Neovisi0n Its different because you are able to roleplay as yourself behind the helmet and goggles. You can pretend in your mind that this is you. Soldiers have the same uniform, but the problem is when the characters have the same facial features and first name and surnames making them replicas of eachother. Thats the problem. The problem of creating replicas. Same uniform and helmet=ok. Same face, name and identity=Not ok.

    @Ingeniekey First, we already know that there will be customization within each of the specialists.
    As for names and faces, Id bet you'd be extremely hard pressed to actually notice a specific face mid battle, and I doubt the name is going to be any more than a menu/ interface device. These aren't things that will pull you out of the immersion mid game.

      @Neovisi0n So you have played the game? I'm just expressing my imminent worries and I assume this wil be the biggest problem. Looking at all the posts about this, I'm not surprised it will be. The biggest problem as I see it is the actual names and facial features that will 100% create replicas. Replicas breaks immersion.

        @Ingeniekey and this is opposed to what? the identical non-customizable facial features of every player on a team in BF4?
        I presume if you have an issue with this, that must have also broke your immersion right?
        the trailer already tells us that there's going to be a wide range of customization for the most noticeable part of the player, the uniform, I don't know what else you would want... a full fledge Skyrim style character editor?
