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 For me the movement was the biggest change from the older battlefields. I understand that this is more in line with current FPSs. My biggest complaint regarding this from the Beta was how this made the ADAD movement on consoles really bad, I found DMRs and Sniping to be particularly difficult, but I believe developers have identified the ADAD movement as one of the things they're looking at.
Portal sounds amazing and I can't wait to see what players create! Looking forward to getting my hands on the full game!

- @DJPtrak I actually think the movement feels different more so due to the futuristic aspect, but again, this is just a wait and see approach too, as we wont know until we try the OG guns in Portal. Im really interested to see how the gunplay feels with the OG maps and guns..
If it feels very OG and good, that means the movement just feels CODish because the guns are a bit more futuristic..
cant wait to give it all a try though!- @nickmajic I think my biggest problem is knowing where to start. There's a bit of learning to do on Portal so not sure if I'm going to wait for others to put a game together or if I am going to have a go myself. But, I'm also dead curious to know what Hazard Zone feels like. Thinking it might even be a wile before I get my teeth into All Out Warefare.
- @lzilchetl yeah, its a difficult thought, this is one thing im really happy about, is 3 separate online modes.. something fresh every time. I personally get bored on BF4 playing the same conquest / MP style games.
@DJPtrakHow was movement different in previous BF games? Apparently the regular sprint is the same speed as BF3 and BF4. The tactical sprint is the same as both 3&4 with a perk.
I’m not sure about the strafing speed, but in BF5 there’s a perk that lets you strafe 60% faster than normal while you ads. Mackay has a similar trait and one of the reasons why I liked using him. Also again the perk in BF3&4.I started thinking yesterday evening that maybe once the game launches, if it looks like it’s a lot of fun and the maps are well-designed etc., then maybe replacing the 4 standard classes with Specialists will not be such a big issue for people like me who are sceptical beforehand.
- @VOLBANKER_PC I think many have genuine concerns that haven't been answered fully by what we have seen so far, for me that includes:
Potential 'meta' play.
Enemy identification
Not a fan of all class weapons.
So I am far from an absolute advocate of the system but just sensible enough to reserve judgement till release.
