My biggest thought/concern about this swap is: "why now?" When ROTE first started, people pointed out that 5B was needed for platoons on a planet they needed him for the Reva mission. CG acknowledged it was correct and did nothing about it...which I didn't love, but I kind of understood they wanted people to really stretch themselves and their rosters to succeed in ROTE. But what made them change their minds now?
Did they get an influx of hate mail? Did a developer finally wear down a decision maker to let him change it? Is there something else coming up that they want to set this precedent? They knew what was in their operations from jump street.
