Battlefield 2042 | First Look At New Specialists
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Don't like that the shield can deflect bullets to get a kill or the whole reveal enemy players special.
And they're not going to be able to change course in a few weeks regardless of response.
As opposed to 30 identical generic soldiers before? I don't get this complaint.
As opposed to customisable characters? Instead of a premade generic specialist.
I don't get your complaint.
This rumor got started because of a survey question? Really?
Let me rephrase: have we been given any actual, realistic reason to believe that DICE is going to scrap the specialist system that's been at the forefront of all their advertising all year and that their entire post-launch revenue system appears to be built around?

A closer look at your feedback and our learnings from the Battlefield 2042 Open Beta.

Beta blog with heaps of info, also what the killfeed looks like now, commarose etc
Still the same face, same voice, gender etc. I like how they do it in Siege, one operator per team, that makes more sense to me.
But maybe it will work out better than I'm thinking who knows.
Can someone explain like I'm 5 why people don't like specialists? I haven't played battlefield since BF3 and I'm want to understand what people are upset about.
That means nothing when survey is done 4 weeks before release. They maybe adjust stuff year or two down in the line, but for release? Not a chance.
Not a fan of the specialists, would prefer classes, but damn, that was a good trailer. Definitely looking forward to this.
But it must be a nightmare to balance. How do you balance 128 players that can switch specialists and load-outs at any given time? I hope there won't be just one or two viable specialists and load-outs...

Wingsuit + Seeker Grenades?
That chick is going to be a problem for littlebirds.
JiSoo in Infantry maps(engagements) is gonna no joke.
Damage her and she spots you, once her "Ult" is charged she sees you through walls?
Metro 2042 - You know its coming dont @me.....with Dozer is going to be an absolute dream.
Have the medic or a second Dozer with you and B flag will be easy work.
Literally no one is going to use Angel.
Hes like the true No Randos character, Revies and provides Ammo....something BF randos are known NOT to do.
Remember BF4 only had like 4 character skins per army.
We will easily know what abilities the characters we face have, but we have no idea what weapons they will have.
The old system we didnt know their abilities but could deduce what weapons they had....no idea which will be better in the long run.

You'd be hard pressed to find people who played the beta that didn't agree with you.
I will say the updated UI looks a lot better.
Still, my big worry is knowing who is an enemy and ally.
It's more because with how the game systems are implemented. Since you pick a specialist, they can have any weapon and gadget so it's very hard to figure out who has ammo/med kits/repair torches at a very quick glance, on top of not knowing if they are an enemy or teammate since they are shared across teams.
They just make the game a lot less readable in quick moments of gameplay and can very drastically change things like reviving or knowing what to expect given which class they would be.

Money. Specialists not being tied to a country or particular armed forces is just the icing on the cake for selling skins.
🥱
Still so disappointed they went this route rather than traditional class roles and distinct multiplayer factions.
I mean, I know why, but it still sucks.

DICE took one core pillars of franchise, grinded it into fine dust and replaced it with "everyone can do everything at any time so we can sell MTX" specialists, that don't in any way adhere to rules set by original class based core pillar.
