@DamadtreeI feel you buddy. My recon was lvl 0 up until the patch, which is when I finished leveling my support and had only recon left not at lvl 20, the p08 is the only weapon of the class I like since I play hyper-aggresive and by now my recon is up to lvl 15 and my p08 is lvl 10 and even has a couple of golden parts already, all of which with 0 specializations. Thing is, this is just one of the LIST of things this patch broke. In a game thats out almost a year. A AAA game. Man this is sad.
I also understand and agree with your point about the gameplay in bf5. In Bf3+4 I RARELY got shot from behind, and not often from someone actively camping, let alone someone proning somewhere, in bf5 however ... whoa, whole different story. People are encouraged to just sit in some random * corner and camp their * off with often a freaking MMG due to them basically beeing forced to go prone, AND no easy spotting, so seeing them is the next problem.
I really feel like they made a couple things right in this game, but at the same time made so many things worse, not to the average gamer ofcourse, those that suck so bad with regular weapons they HAVE to sit in some random corner and camp with mmgs, they get rewarded for doing so.
Example of the whole 1 step forward 5 steps back aproach: They finally implemented a way to connect to a server with a squad that really works and actually kicks you into the same team on said server, however, its at the cost of it only working via the quick play option, which means 64 players only, not that theres a choice on that either way since there is no dedicated servers, so no lower player counts to begin with. On top of that they removed the team switching mechanic, so if you're in a team where everyone hogs the tanks and you wish to switch over to help the other team, you can't, whose great idea was this?
