Opinion on Class System
With the discussion about class system on full swing, I think it's good time to leave my thought with it. I haven't look at any leaks so I mostly based from the blog post and my experience from playi...

I feel that map design should support gadgets like grappling hook and zipline to be part of gameplay loop. Gameplay also should allow entering enemy bases and have Commander resources there as well as having collapsible and repairable bridges in maps. Squad leader spawning only so having spawn beacon as their gadget independently. Then I would make fully dedicated and strong roleplay class system as of the following:
- Assault: Frontline breaching and mobility with grappling hook and zipline + UBGLs/UB shotgun systems
- Medic: Frontline medical support with health kits + battle condition boosts and revive tool
- Support: Heavy firesupport unit with ammunition supplies+fortification tool kit+field mortar with different rounds
- Engineer: Multi-purpose combat engineer with different types of AT traps+RF Jammer+EOD bot/Multi-purpose wrench (which can defuse explosives, re-utilise them against enemies and repair assets)
- Demolition: Anti-material warfare expert equipped with launchers and sabotage charges to destroy commander assets, bridges, fortifications and more
- Recon: Adept marksman whose job is to gain intel, deny enemy intel, lure & misinformating enemies and set-up anti-personnel ambushes
- Grappling Hook being gadget for some class (Assault?) or as Battle Pickup worth a try. Zipline being additional alternative route to enter the area is also nice. I mean...I don't like when I enter the elevator (with no other choice to access the area (particularly rooftop) except helicopter) and greeting with enemy squad waiting for you.
- I'm not very sure about Commander resources. The biggest problem seems to be when one team having commander and other team haven't.
- I like the collapsible/repairable bridge and other Fortifications mechanic from Battlefield V. As a defender, you blow up the bridge so enemy vehicles having harder time to push.
- I don't get the appeal of the spawning on squad leader only if I'm being honest. I have no comment about this one.
- I don't have a good memory with the Mortar that much, especially in Battlefield 1 since I play it on official server. Unless they get a nerf or compromise like Incursions, I found it to be more negative to the game.
