Not sure if it is, as they are adding perks or skill like; auto spotting, negate ADS penalties, fuse med and ammo bag. It might not seem like much but this can break the balance between classes as players can always find ways to 1 up each other. No matter the game, balancing it has always been very difficult and there is no assurance they will be able to do it before their next game release (2042 is a good example) close weapons or rather doing a hybrid version could help make the game feel more balanced.
Since they are adding battle Royale and customizable lobbies, they could add more COD like features to this since the are allowing players to change settings anyways. This way they can balance the game as it should but also give new comers more freedom if they don't like the team play constrain or just want to run and gun.
