Why Specialists do not freak me out.
I'm not so sure if those willing to give specialists a go are represented properly here. So in the interests of balance thought I would ask the question. There are plenty of threads taking issue with...

@lzilchetl They don't freak me out, just unneeded, imo. I wish they would have different clothing, characters that are specific to each side to differentiate both sides. The exact same character for both teams is lazy development.

I'd love to know what their reasoning was, as it would have been a pretty standard thing to include wouldn't it. Not like they've never done it before. Its the most common gripe, thinking it might get addressed one way or another. Though I'm not too worried, the red name labels are clear enough, though I would have been happy with just a dot.
But, not a game spoiler for me.
- @lzilchetl This ^, plus people will be able to customize them with skins etc... eventually too, so everyone will look different.

I think the big scare for everyone is that characters become too whacky. BF1 started to wander from a reasonable setting with Captain Birdseye etc. One thing I have learned from this forum is how much players like the fantasy to stay intact. They want that protected and want to feel like its a serious combat in a viable setting. John McClane or Rambo running around spoils that. I hope Dice continue to acknowledge that, though I think that many feel that the specialist are testing the ground on that both in looks and kit available. For my part they are reasonable, but only just. The specialist gadgets are just about reasonable interpretations of what might be available at the time and the specialist models still have a reasonable military flavour. But if players wanted a more futuristic setting than that they would be playing Halo..
