If you were wanting to keep with four classes instead of five then I guess the Assault class could become the Medic class, with an aggressive damaging focused training path and a less aggressive healing focused training path.
But they we'd have a situation from BF4 days where people in chat would complain about people not running defibs when they should etc..
Plus many people really love assault having the redeployment beacon so unless it remains on the aggressive training path as a gadget option, or it goes to Recon but the spec ops training path gets a rework with Carbines as a signature weapon, then that might keep them happy.
Could introduce spec ops a fifth class, spec ops gets some of Assaults abilities, like the beacon but have more of a focus on stealth for one one training path and aggressive play for the other.
Assault now has the ability to drag revive everyone, one training path is aggressive focused, the other medic focused. Still retains some of it's original gadgets and gains some new ones.
But that might be reshuffling things a bit too much VS just doing a fifth Medic class but it would be interesting.

assault having the redeployment beacon
Beacon should have only ever been on recon class, people already complain no one on support revives properly or at all so that wont make any difference in complaining levels lol. Game just needs to go back to its roots. But with how this games been built ( a call of duty knock-off... IMO ) They may aswell just let you build your class with what ever gun, gadgets, class path you want now
Yes, people did complain about Assault players not equipping healing or reviving gadgets in BF4, but it was only available as on option to them. The difference in BF6 however is all Support players have the ability to revive whether they intend to play as a Medic or not, which only exacerbates the issue.
Yes i agree, the beacon should've remained on the Recon class as it better compliments the role, but a lot of Assault players like having it as beacons can be placed closer to objectives. But i find those beacons get discovered by the enemy sooner rather than later which means each placed beacon sees much less use than it otherwise would. A change to the spec ops training path where it was made to be more of a sneaky aggressive build with say Carbines as the signature weapon and buffs to suppressors, extra C4/tugs would work rather well together. The beacon than has two playstyles it caters for, which should hopefully make snipers and the ones who liked it on Assault happy.
AnEejit iLuckyBrad Honestly, when it comes to the beacon on Assault, I think it mostly comes down to personal playstyle and how you approach the game.
The main difference is that with Assault, beacons tend to be placed closer to the action and objectives. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just a different philosophy. Being closer to the fight means more risk, but also allows for more sustained pressure on objectives.
With Recon, it was different. Beacons were usually placed further back and were relatively safer, but it also meant teammates needed more time to get back into the fight.
So honestly, I think the beacon works well in both roles. Whether you prefer it on Assault or Recon mostly depends on your playstyle. If you like spawning closer to the action, Assault makes more sense. If you prefer safer spawns and a more controlled approach, Recon fits better.
