Battlefield 2042... the End of an Era 

BF nut here. Still play BF4 and BF1 a few times a week. I dabble in COD, but SBMM has really burnt me out on it and won't be getting Vanguard. Never got into Apex because I was butthurt at what it did to my boy Titanfall.

I absolutely love the beta sometimes funny rag dolls can happen like when I saw someone flew when getting ran over And I’m mostly a BF player and sometimes I play MW2019

I play a lot of things and isn't a diehard battlefield fan and i thought it was so damn fun!

I was mostly a COD player, after the slap in the face that was Cold War, I wanted something new. BF2042 was that. I bought bf1 and bfV. I love them, but I wanted something modern. Something that all of my friends wanna play with me. We loved the beta. I hate some of the glitches and the classes, but still, I love it. I see why people hate it. That’s fine. But I think Battlefield is now the game I want.

i had alot of fun with the beta, i am ignoring the bugs for now cuz its a beta. however the operator system needs to be replaced with standard classes.

loved the repair tool kills,also when you could kill with the defibs

I have 657 defibrillator kills in BF4

XD

Bro this comment is legend status! I thought the same thing when he said that😂😂😂

"1,000 repair tool kills in BF4." I'm jealous, I used the M16 in BF4. You could literally spam it fast enough to make full auto. Yet I struggle to get 50 kills being at home all day.

that’s not a game issue. it’s a community issue

Same, but then again I have found this to be 50/50 since you can have some really great team players and then find people who just want to shot and kill everyone.

If you play on pc and you want a large scale battles that emphasize teamwork, play squad. It’s the more realistic battlefield. This game I’m getting for the sole purpose of goofing around. But if I want a serious experience, I play squad.

@@SomeGuyWithWi-Fi Yeah, most of the community fall into COD Mw19, so their used to being solo.

I think it's the fact that they have gadgets accessible to any character now and the auto-heal is kind of fast so basically everyone picks McKay for the grapple + ammo crate gadget which allows you to get a lot of kills easily no one really goes healer because the auto heal is fast and the healing dart is kinda easy to miss on a teammate; plus the revive was super clunky I saw a lot of people picking up the dead guy's gun instead

The difference being Titanfall bots are not representation of an actual player (since they are grunts) While 2042 on the other hand tries to use bots to replace actual players, which in my opinion creates a much shallow experience since the bots are designed to be mowed down by the players

@@woodydragonest agreed, imo BF bots should be much weaker and smaller in size to easily differentiate them. They should come in squads that deploy on sectors. One grunt is not meant to be player equals but a squad of them can kill a player. As more players join, less spawn and once the server is full then not more bots. It will still keep the player number high but also ensure that the bots stay as they should be, bots.

@@woodydragonest I feel the exact same way! I do not like the idea of player-skilled bots because that really makes me feel like it isn’t battlefield anymore. The “only in battlefield moments” are made with real players.....not bots. Titanfall at least did it good. Im not to thrilled about how battlefield is doing it as of now. Side note: factions should definitely be introduced in my opinion

I don’t They’re completely useless, get in the way and have absolutely zero satisfaction of killing them

@@satan899 that’s why in titanfall there are modes without them if you don’t like them. They are a staple in attrition.

Whats that!? Lol i played it once and never played again

It died so quickly. It had some really gamemodes that I loved playing, but I couldn't get any of my mates to play it so I didn't get many hours in. It was such an underrated game imo

I’m a battlefield fan boy, and even I hated hardline. It was terrible

I regretted buying Hardline honestly.

I actually really liked hardline and still play it from time to time (when I can find a server). I don’t need a reason to like it, I just like it

The gunplay does feel like BF. Most people whining are going to buy it anyway hahah. Portal and hazard zone are the innovations you are talking about. Or you are just ignoring all the innovations and new ideas because it did some things like cod? You’re delusional.

It's sad seeing the better game trying to become its little brother just because it has more friends at school.

@@0hleg gunplay isn't the only component of the game though, most people aren't complaining about the gun play but the general direction of the game into making everything more monetized

@@dannylipatov6530 yeah the specialist system, movement, and backpedaling of the destruction feels like it’s just sacrificing all the team play aspects and gameplay formula in favor of being more appealing to the masses.

@@ollytherevenant1653 totally dude, even the hurricane, like it's cool but then you can't even feel fully immersed with that sometimes, the rest of the map is still light as if no storm is there and the storm doesn't seem to do much to the environment just movable objects

This

As long as it's a good game at launch, I have no problem with this, haha

@@kompst_tu you are part of the problem

Wow it has more features and you can slide around now. Must be call of duty

Why in the fuck would we want battlefield 4? We want a new game not an old one

that was more for portal and not the base game. The base game was very clearly marketed as a futuristic and fast paced game.

You’re pfp is me watching any gameplay of this game this game is cod with a carbon copy of battle front 2 graphics and time to kill of apex legends

@@happyx7203 you clearly haven't played the beta.

Well said my friend!! Who knew a game franchise could break my heart

@@Dexiclon don't need to as clip & comment form many who tried the beta expresses similar complaints & point out the similarity which was not the case with previous BF.

Bf1 is not a gem

Bf1 kinda sucked

@@elchangux ur faded

@@PlanK_SA you're faded pal

Imo restricting secondary gadgets to classes would be a good first step

I agree. Even though I enjoyed 2042 beta, but something was missing.

@@HragFarraGaming yea exactly I don’t think it was bad just kinda mid and generic. I could literally *feel* that their heart wasn’t in this one. I do have to mention that I LOVE being able to switch attachments on the fly and the new versatility of loadouts is hella refreshing after 300+ hrs of BF5 so A+ there imo

Exactly doesn’t feel like anything except TDM

Same tht was the feeling that was empty inside me

@@a.g.m8790 bruh no heart and you put several hundred hours into BFV? Good grief...

will never forget the feeling getting trapped in a building during an amiens match, or sniping people at suez... i can already smell the chlorine gas

Getting the perfect shot in Suez 😍😍

Check out Hell Let Loose. It’s a cool WW2 game. It’s better to have a micro though to enjoy the game to the fullest.

The thing I don't understand is... There are other people on your team... And they have the same 4 characters to choose from....right? So everyone running around in the game are the same 4 people? It makes no sense to me. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that Other People are People TOO!?!? Is everyone so narcissistic that they think that THEY are the only ones that get to be a singular individual?

@@christophermoody6840 What?

@@beyondsplintered9166 you have 4 characters/specialist to choose from right. They aren't just generic classes like before... They have an individual character/personality attached to each specialist right? But everyone picks from one of the four.... There are 64 people per team so technically there could be 64 people running around as the Medic Lady... Or the Hispanic lookin' dude. Am I crazy or is this a hard concept to understand? They should just leave them as genetic soldiers without individual identity.

Atentamente: el jugador que moría muchas veces

Yes, CoD invented specialists

This game gives me great appreciation for bfv as well. Tanks and customization never seemed so perfect

BF1 was art

@@hisham7679 it my first bf since OG xbox days and i can say i loved it, it does get repetitive but its nice and slow imo

@@marsmurderer9868 BF1 was not good.

Sadly you're right. But they can spew forth all the finishers they want. Nothing will beat bf1 clubs, just bashing a dudes head in was soo brutal

Thank you! I have been trying to work out what it was that was bugging me so much and this is it!

Battlefield one was garbage

@@danwilliams7554 nope. It was sick. V on the other hand was dogwater

@@weavercs4014 5 was also very good tbh

@@weavercs4014 probably just not good at it

I felt the same way as you did. One of my mates made a good point though. I also agree that making the maps much bigger and adding players doesnt change the gameplay at all. You end up having the same long periods without a fight. However, what it does is both. Whilst on the whole there are quiet empty areas to plan an attack, there is also the possibility that a lot of players will go to a certain check point and it will feel like all out warfare. So this gives us the potential to have massive battles, where we never had that before. Granted, they might be long and far between but when they do happen it's going to be hectic. Just my two cents. Peace

Yeah, it felt like a running simulator sometimes. You can run for so long, and just get killed by a dude hiding is bushes and shit. Even better, you run forever and mistake an enemy for a teammate, and die.

Its horrible map.

Run into objective to objective you go stealthy and blazing fire when other team mates gets in don't forget to spot and trowing some detector ball thing especially if you're casper . 2042 I feel it. I had a blast in the beta ,I hope to see some more.

I feel like most of u guys complaining about endlessly running came from cod 3vs3 maps.. like cmon- u have multiple ropes vertical and horizontal across the map, grapple gun, spawns on points/teammates/vehicles, spawn ur own vehicle from thablet anywhere, anytime.. so where exactly did u run? Couse i felt freedom about engaging battle my way more than in any other previous battlefield?

Who's bright idea was it to make specialists but then also make said specialists universal.....

This beta build is months old, I’m sure they’ve already developed specialist appearance variations

@@Samuel2oh9 tired of the "it’s a beta" excuse. You say that every time and you’re always wrong.

@@Samuel2oh9 the whole concept of the specialists broke the battlefield. Nobody has a role now, it's just every man for himself.

@@CoyoteRecon...

@Elite-Force Cinema what the fuck are you saying

@Elite-Force Cinema Bro what in the world are you on about 😂 got some dude speaking broken english on some dumb stuff that doesn't even make any sense

The same feeling is in this game, planes, tanks, everything. All the warfare is there. Idk what people are talking about

@@drbuffed4651 The game doesn't suck but if you're gonna pretend this is true Battlefield, you're an idiot pretending. The class system literally defined what Battlefield is and you can't tell me otherwise, it defined how the game works. Engineers did their job by running a launcher and a repair tool, been that way forever. No now that engineer can only run one or the other and has to run a piece of bs "specialist gear" he doesn't want. That's the "same feeling" to you? Again, game doesn't suck, but what it doesn't need is simps riding it like you who pretend its perfect who probably just rode the hype train and never played that much Battlefield to even understand what people are complaining about.

@@sivarogue1490 It’s pretty good as is, you don’t need class when they are already class in the game.

Damn we really out here living the same life and sharing the exact same view on gaming. Even when you mentioned squad and HLL. Cheers.

The problem I have is that it’s too colorful. I’m gonna sound edgy but I love when the color in a war game is dark, it makes you feel like you’re just another solider in a endless conflict. That’s what I loved from battlefield 1. Go back and play battlefield 1 with no HUD and you’ll feel like a solider who is terrified of losing his life. Also the maps are way too big

1000%. This lowering of expectations let's the developers keep releasing half-finished crap but people keep on accepting it. At least this time it seems like a lot of people are speaking with their wallets. Will it help? IDK.

@@Badger3k that is the point, we’ve ALWAYS gave shit, but it does nothing. The games are great, stop being such Debby downers.

@PuGa_805 There will be more game modes than conquest and in my trash opinion I believe the game was built heavily around Hazard Zone. Which we havent seen anything on yet.

@PuGa_805 I pre-ordered it for £45 lmao

@PuGa_805 ok then open up unity or a game engine and make your own game see where that gets you they give you free models in an editor so you dont have to code anything

But that’s not cause of the game that’s just the player base

@@sgtnikito7668 the lack of a class system and the way the maps are laid out, along with the awkwardness of some equipment makes it too difficult or inconvenient for most people to even try working as a unit. The game design is flawed to a point where it breaks a core component of Battlefield games. It does beyond player to player interaction

Bro..... I'm sorry to tell you but it's been like that since BF3 and onwards Squad play has been dying since Bad Company 1, at this point your squad is just mobile spawn points

@@Echoplex25 fax I feel like since bf4 all the way until now that medics didn’t do shit except heal themselves and maybe their friends in their squad. Squad play been dead

@@sgtnikito7668 I hear you with the medics not reviving for sure. Even so though just last night in 1 game on BF5 I had more revives than the whole of the beta. Still had the ‘medics’ that run straight past you though. I’m not particularly great at the gun play as I’m knocking on now so I like to make myself useful with repairs, heals revives etc. I wonder if the size of the maps is adding to the issue as well. Still enjoyed the beta but I doubt I’ll hop on solo as much as the other Battlefields.

Bf1942 still is my favorite. Fronts from large scale Pacific naval assault with manned ships to middle of Berlin. No real-time x-ray dorito spotting, no UI pop-ups, good classes, no forced squads. I like natural squads(waves) more than set ones, as you are going to die and then the squad is scattered. I legit didn't buy BfV because of squad-spawn system. Like, spotting (and coms) could be given only to local team-mates rather than a set squad and across the map. That one change would give a better natural squad feel I think. Also yes, titan gamemode!

This 💯

@@Viljarms Squad spawn has been around since BF2, where were you all this time?

I dont think DICE can ever return to its roots.... pretty much all of the original devs have left. And if EA are pulling in people like Fawzi Mesmar to be head designer of the franchise. Then Franchise is well and truly done. My expectations for the next BF game is so low but im sure i'll be massively disappointed with whatever comes out from DICE

absolutely man I had such a hard time flying in 2042, it’s like there’s no momentum so it’s disorientating

switch the "fixed wing buttons" from default to alternate, then it's just like bf4 👍 at least for helicopters. i haven't flown a jet in 2042 yet

@@mikepetterson9906 man that's EXACTLY what I was typing all over the videos in hope they will change it. It HAS NO MOMENTUM!

@@mikepetterson9906 the flight-physics are absolutely terrible. It was perfect in Battlefield 4 where you spent a lot of time to master it. Once you did it felt so amazing and satisfying because you don't ser many good pilots. But now it feels stiff and clunky and those unpredictable movements you can make are even worse for the Infantry with an RPG on the ground, because it's almost impossible to forsee in which direction the heli is flying because they don't seem to have momentum and real physics. Compared to BF4 it feels realy simplified and is comparable to Ghost Recon Wildlands or Just Cause or Warzone or other openworld fun games that have clearly no focus on vehicles. What makes it even worse, is that the minigun from the little Bird is bad aswell. You can literaly shoot in 3rd person and you're more acurate in Dogfights with other Helis.

They are using the same driving system from bf3, and that was outdated for its time. The vehicles hug the ground as if they are on rails, the steering sucks, and they go too fast. It's been terrible in every bf game since bf3, and they haven't even tried to fix it.

Same. In BF1, Operations made much more sense and immersive than conquest since it's WW1. I find conquest an outdated mode, and it's worse when you have larger maps like the recent beta. Increasing player count doesnt help the flow of conquest when you add bots that replace players to the equation

Same, the chaos and realism was perfect and I still play it a lot. I do rlly hope they implement that in 2042.

@Jackoftrades I agree, it's my fav.

Same here, a fan since modern combat. Those were the days hehe.

@@ytn675 BF1 Had one flaw. Those damn mortars, man. Always the mortars.

It makes too much sense fuck

Trust yourself. They put operators in purley so they can sell more operators and outfits for the operators. So it will be everyone running around as the same person for the games life cycle. Imo 2042 is a money grab. We'll see if im right after it releases.

In bc2, every spot and location was there for a strategic reason. Here on this beta map it felt so empty

It's a beta dog have you ever played a Battlefield beta game was good

Don't forget that damn plus menu! In general Battlefield, that's one of the most silly things you can put in. Way too one-man-army for BF. But in a BR-like setting, I'd love it!

Same, BF1 finally got me into the series. I tried BF5 for free during a weekend, didn't enjoy it that much and I hear it's crawling with hackers. I finally tried BF4 after BF2042 was revealed, and I'm also having a good time there too. The open beta for 2042 only killed the small amount of righteously cautious hype I had.

@@boat02 I also played Bf4 for some days due to one month free ea play XD. And I had the same experience with the 2042 beta. I only was able to play it about 3 hours but those 3 hours made me asking myself if it's worth a buy

How's BF1 doing? I heard it's full of hackers but that -90% on Steam got me pondering if I should buy it or nah.

@@nezahuall Hey there bruh! Dice servers sucks. It is indeed full of hackers. I haven't really finished the campain because i wasn't really into bf campain. Its their multiplayer which is fun. Anyway! Mechanics are not complicated. Guns design and sound are awesome. The only thing that might annoy you is the large amount of people camping 🤣 but that's nothing new. I would recommend you to play in the community server. Search for the ones which many people have marked as thier favourite. I haven't faced cheaters in community server. Its rare to come across one in community server. You will face them if the server admin is shit. 🍻 Edit: i think player base is great. People still play it . check it in the community option

I played a bit of BF3, however, I've only gained interest in the series with BF1, which in my opinion is a spectacular game that I'll never forget, probably since it's the only WW1 game that I've played so far in my life

The changing attachments shouldn't even be in the game. They replace the communication commands for that crap smh

They seriously needs to bring the class system back. Abandoning your original audiences for another games audiences is dumb.

Specialists are fine to

I mean, I also had my complaints about every game and every beta. This one.. is just different. In all of those previous tiles (I own every single one other than Vietnam and Hardline), complaints could generally be limited to movement, TTK, balancing, and the general bug/performance issues. Things that can be fixed with some updating and listening to the community. And in fact, I truly think nearly every one of us can agree that BFV had one of the best movement systems so far. Well, that's gone.. it doesn't even match much of any of the previous titles overall. 2042... man. The "classes" at the top titled Medic and such... those are literally just Call of Duty loadouts. Choose any operator, any guns, and any gadget. The names should just be "Default Loadout 1" at that point. Then you have the plus menu.... the whole point of Battlefield and the classes are that sort of Rock Paper Scissors mechanic. Everyone can technically beat everyone. But as a team moves up, different roles and weapons/attachments shine depending on the map and location. Now.. everyone can just be everything at once. Then you have the way vehicles take a backseat to infantry play, but that very well could be fixable.. but my faith is low because of everything else. And of course, specialists. I was willing to just let them slide. Just deal with it. That was my compromise. I get it. But the third person takedowns... the hero perks... why couldn't a system similar to BFV be put into place? Its literally just the skin part that makes money. Instead, we're also creeping into RB6 territory and totally shifting focus again. I'd really just like to see a proper Battlefield game take the best of all the previous titles and build on it instead of moving in a new, lesser/dumbed down, direction just to capitalize on the MTX craze and pull a new audience in. The audience has already been overlapped. CoD and Battlefield were two distinctly different shooters and people played them based on what kind of action they wanted. Now its just so damn similar, what's the point? I'm desperate for this game to make changes and return to the roots because I just know if it doesn't, Battlefield as we know it is dead and the new audience has taken over.

Nah I don't think time is the issue with the removal of the classes.

@@v3nom11065 unrelated but Hardline has a sick campaign, u should give it a go I feel like it's underrated in the US but ppl in the UK still love it.

Yeah fuck no ,they would bring classes back and lock gadgets to classes . No thank you

The approximate cost of video game productions is about 10,000 per person per month the game is in development. Aka, a year of development would cost over 100,000,000, usd, in full staff. Rolling off staff and you still face over 35-70mil in costs. It sounds lovely, but practically speaking it just can’t and won’t happen, especially after Cyberpunk 2077. They delayed for AGES and the bugs, performance, and such weren’t any better

Jeep stuff* wtf

C4-wheelers?? Smh 😔

The tanks in Battlefield 1 and V weren’t that strong, blowing them up was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Now comes with C4 drones

You could open your shoots in both battlefield 3 & 4 This is nothing new from them.

@@silentcaldari7594 No you can not open a parachute, close it, and reopen it in bf4. All of you claiming you can are blatantly proving just how little you know about the battlefield franchise.

I feel this is a game u play have fun with and after a year or 100 hours u wont play it anymore because it won't offer you anything different than other Shooters (no community or teamplay)

So your more a bf1 fan

@@-jc8578 y’all play one game mode on one map on an unfinished beta and judge an entire game around it go ahead don’t play no one wants u to play anyway

Respectfully, BF fans said the same thing with BF1 and especially BF5, that it feels like CoD. And look at the comments on YT and reddit. People are praising those two titles now and want elements from those games to be incorporated in 2042. BF3 and especially BF4 had terrible launches but Dice/EA addressed most of the issues and the games are very fun to play. I'm hoping and optimistic that 2142 will be the same.

@@stallman30 Yea, but I have never said that. I actually enjoyed 1 and 5, 4 was cool. Even bad company is better than this hot garbage.

This is a good example how a multi billion gaming giant can destroy a welgoing franchise.....Bravo EA!

Well said.

@@diehardGG thanks, I do my best comments while taking a poop.

@@bobby_c07 that's the best time to literally do anything, so I understand

@@bobby_c07 ahh, so that's where I've been messing up when I comment in Reddit threads lol.

You can always cancel your BF2042 preorder. It helps let DICE know they did things wrong and also you get your money back... Win Win!!

Interchangeable pieces of gear would be sick. Instead of specific characters, you should just get a random face, which wouldn't matter because everyone would be wearing a mask/helmet.

Long explanation: The original live service game was Team Fortress 2. The game had 9 memorable and still beloved characters, so when the cosmetics grew people wanted to customize these characters. Its still insanely lucrative. Fast forward a few years and live service games have become far more popular. Games like Overwatch, R6, and Bo4 try to emulate the tf2 formula in some way w/ the following formula 1) have a long list of characters. Whales will want a skin for each so the more the better. 2) each character has a name, personality, and a unique nationality to get people "attached" to them. 3) each character has, or appears to have, a distinct playstyle to encourage playing all of them, getting attached, and wanting skins Its not just a large character roster but this specific formula with some variation. Its why all the "hero games" have such a similar roster. The difference here is that, while TF2 was made with the intention of well written, fun to play characters, these games are checking off a list to make money, which is what makes it feel soulless.

Well easy, there's only 4 classes in usual BF games. Here we will have a good number of differents specialistes. I think we know about 6 so far, and more to come.

From the looks of it, they will be adding new specialists to the game that you have to pay for in order to use. From the official Steam page: The Battlefield™ 2042 Gold Edition contains: Early access to game launch Year 1 Pass: 4 New Specialists (1 per Season), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season), and 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”)

How long have you played Battlefield?

So... it's like being a specialist in the real Army? Kinda realistic lol.

If everyone was a sentry in bf1 basically

@@noneofyourbusiness9489 not all soldiers in the real army are specialists either. Spec Ops constitute only like 2% of the fighting forces. Extrapolate that number to Battlefield lobby and that'd mean like 2-3 specialists while the rest are common soldiers, lol.

@@noneofyourbusiness9489 being a specialist is realistic, yes, but clones aren't. They should've given these specialists just a callsign instead of individual names, ethicity, nationality, etc. And two separate trees of cosmetics so that it is easy to identify what team they are on.

@@zippyparakeet1074 I think you misunderstood wat I meant. The most common rank in the US Army is specialist. Specialist is an automatic promotion based on time in rank and time in service. It pretty much is a participation trophy. Source: I am one.

its good stuff

Squad, insurgency

Hell Let Loose is awesome. I ended up playing that game more than the bf beta last weekend.

I’d agree, don’t forget insurgency ha, that’s also on console if u don’t like pc gaming along with hell let loose

Love all of those games I haven't touched battlefield since battlefield 1.

Those games are nothing like the battlefield games we’ve played

they did what we wanted they made everyone look the same but not in the way we wanted you know default soldier attire no they went apex mode

@@elko1860 they didnt

Worst decision, removing the classes. Lets hope we get decent customization, so we don't see 100 identical specialist in final release.

If you look back at BF1 and BF5 the soldiers uniform at least was easy to differentiate between enemy and friendly

I think BF has ALOT of customizability they aren’t sharing yet. Well I hope anyways 🤞

Awards should be won for this comment

You said it perfectly, I've never felt this way about a game. Like part of me lives it alot and wants to play more and the other part of me is really iffy on the game and what I wish it could've been

Wow I couldn't have explained it better

Thought I was alone. It's not necessarily bad it's just not Battlefield. The major thing they need to tweak besides bringing back classes is the gunplay. (Which I'm not sure you can at this point) There's no reason why I should be able to full auto someone across the field with iron sights....(Also slowing down the sliding to be on par with Bf1 would go along way and not make it feel like Apex or Cod even though I like Apex, not cod though)

You're a rookie in this game. I had BF1942...on demo disc...from PC Gamer magazine. I've played every single one, and really since BF1 they've been experimenting pretty hardcore and introducing new mechanics. BF1942, 2942, Vietnam, BF2, and BF3 all felt largely the same to me... but these past few are nuts. Agree with you that the sliding aspect (from MW) upset me about this beta.

Is BF3 still active on PC? I miss it so much.

facts

They also have like what, less than 70 devs compared to 4 studios working on BF2042 lol, sad and hilarious at the same time

Exactly on point... That's just bullshit I just can't play BF 4 hardcore server because it's inexistent. There is no bots.

@@atrgames i was on a full b4 hardcore server around 1 hour ago even before bf 2042 was announced there was full servers game still is very much alive and i think it will continue to thrive especially if 2042 flops

EOD robot and claymore was mine in bf4, I do sure miss my little robot friend and I did name him wallE.

I guess they don't want to have a scared new player camping in someone vehicle and continuously repairing their car. Because that was me in BF4 and hardline

@@mubassirzaman7202 we would've been great buddy's I always needed repairs when I would shove the buggy underneath a tank with c4 or try to ram a helcopter or anything that wasn't tied down and out of reach. Aslo I was banned from a server for doing the my buggy shanagains.

As someone who played the beta for at least 15 hours, i shot my teammates more often then the enemies themselves lol yes there was such a lack of support roles and medics that it wasnt remotely fun to play, shit i even had countless teammates just walk by me and not even bother to revive me. same can go for people not dropping med crates or ammo crates and found myself being the only one in my squad that ran ammo crate out of the entire team. as of right now there's a "one man army" mentally because of warzone... if youre not winning 1v3's or 1v4's or getting quad feeds then you suck... everyone was playing for themselves and not as a team..

Counter point: The class system hasn't been meaningful since BF2, might aswell get rid of it altogether for something new and interesting rather than than clinging "to the past" even though "the past" everyone is clinging to is already a watered down version of how the classes were originally designed. I doubt BF2042's new system is anything to lose sleep over, you will still be able to design your own stereotypical classes of ye olde days. The only thing i worry about is like you said, everyone looking the same.

@@zwykhg364 counter to counter: The class based system is an old system but it could of easily been updated to fit in with the modern mechanics & more sustainable gadgets could be added to fit those roles. BF has always separate itself because of this class based system to balance out playstyles. What's happening now is that anyone and everyone can carry anything which results in less cooperation as a whole team and is why I lost more matches when we were ahead. No one is playing objective because the point system rewards you more for getting kills instead of capturing and defending the flags. Instead you have people playing TDM on B & D1 & 2 capture points.

@@angelcortez4689 They should absolutely insentivize teamwork more than kills, and give more score for capping, reviving etc. They might aswell hide kills until the match is done like some games do. And make you able to differentiate friend and enemies (besides HUD), ofcourse. But i don't think the specialist system is that bad. You can't do everything as one person besides maybe the medic specialist letting you heal while having another gadget. You still need someone with AT, someone with AA, someone with ammo, someone with repair tool etc. But they are able to choose an interesting character that they like with the weapon they like. Back in BF2 an engineer was restricted to shotguns, a wrench and AT mines, but in BF4 they weren't really restricted that much, might aswell remove the limits altogether, they were an do-it-all repair and destroy tank class with powerful automatic weapons to boot, where you had the engineer and AT class as 2 distinct classes with limited main weapons & tools in BF2. Whats so different really, comparing BF3/4 to BF2042? Just superficial aesthethic differences with a minor impact on gameplay. You still need to play as the medic chick if you want to revive anyone besides ur squadmates for that matter. It's not all doom and gloom.

I’ll just stick to BF4
