SMG remains the most broken weapon. There are some "meta" picks in other classes, but more SMGs are broken than any other type.
LMG is poopoo caca. The removal of real suppression removed the largest benefit to an LMG. LMGs are also wildly different in their performance, with some being nearly broken and others being so bad that even the bots won't use them.
Snipers need sweet spot removed. They removed suppression, which was one of the counters to snipers, and then also buffed the snipers. Kind of stupid.
Support and engi are the most used classes, because they have all the utility. This was one of the reasons medic and assault were health and ammo in the real BF games, rather than putting all the eggs in one support basket and wondering why it's the most used and abused class in the game. Every turbo sweat is running support. It's made even worse by the removal of weapon locks to classes. Really, REALLY bad CoD design going on here, but they won't fix it at this point.
Movement is CoD trash. Most real BF players have commented on how bad it is now. It kills actual intelligent play and turns it into "whoever booty bounce slides across the map fastest wins". Incredibly bad mechanics. Multiple times I've offered reasonable solutions that keep the mechanics AND balance them so they aren't so OP. No one cares who actually makes decisions.
