Whereas Battlefield 2042 is getting higher with every replace (or a minimum of nearer to the sport it might and will have been at launch), there’s one factor that has aggravated a variety of long-time gamers ever since its launch and continues to take action: Specialists, a bunch of “hero” characters designed to switch the previous “class” system.
Slightly than let gamers select from a nondescript grunt with an assigned position—assault, engineer, recon, and so forth—2042 introduced in cocky characters as a substitute, every with their very own devices and distinctive expertise. It’s kinda the identical concept, solely expressed with some extra flexibility and persona, however a great deal of followers hate it. If not for his or her annoying catchphrases—which have been toned down—then for the very fact you’ll be able to by no means inform at a look what sort of gear your teammates (or opponents) can be packing.
DICE have been made very conscious of this in a short time, which is why they introduced again in August 2022 that improvement on the sport was principally going again to the drafting board, and that a variety of stuff that had been reduce or modified for 2042 was going to be introduced extra in-line with what the sequence was identified for.
Crucial of these adjustments was a reversion to the “class” system, which is lastly on the best way within the sport’s 3.2 replace that’s out later this month. Whereas it gained’t go so far as many followers would really like—it doesn’t ditch the Specialists totally, simply rearranges their gear and lumps them into courses—it should a minimum of deliver the identical spirit.
I’m glad DICE is doing one thing about this, as a result of the louder followers have been proper, the sport has been a little bit missing with out what the devs name a “sense of position”, however as somebody whose favorite Specialist (Mackay) is about to lose entry to my favorite gadget (SOFLAM) as a part of the category rearrangement, I need to attempt the brand new setup out myself earlier than getting too excited.
