200+ hours in and I still can't identify the new class symbols with the classes. Anybody else experiencing this? As far as I can tell there is absolutely no logic connecting the symbol design to the classes. Seems needlessly idiotic.
For me they are simple and great.
Same here
I’ve got around 150 hours in the game, and I still don’t understand the logic behind these icons.
Well, to be fair, I can recognize the sniper because the icon more or less looks like a “scope,” and the assault one too.
But when it comes to the engineer and support - that’s just pure nonsense.
In my opinion the icons got progressively worse over the years. They are less readable and less recognizable than in previous games.
Battlefield 3 and 4 are great, they take no effort to read, they all have distinct differences and are recognizable. After that it just goes downhill.
Battlefield 6:
I’ve played a ton, but the only class icon I recognize is the support one because I’m constantly yelling for them to drop me some ammo lol
I preffered it when you could tell what class someone was by the character model.
You knew what weapon they were using based on the character skin, it created a nice balance and was great for vehicles spotting threats.
Open weapons has killed the tactical side of the game, you knew how to approach enemies based on class.
They should change to simple letters:
S for Assault because it uses the Spawn beacon.
R for Support because they Resupply.
A for Engineer because the Attack Tanks
E for Recon because they identify Enemy.
Intuitively, the example below makes far more sense if you want to be using letters. It's the exact same letters.
A for Assault
E for Engineer
S for Support
R for Recon
Yea the recon one is really dumb. I think its supposed to be a symbol for "spotting"? Also engineers' gotta be tank track but thats also dumb. Assault and support are fine for me.
