Whereas Battlefield 2042 is getting higher with every replace (or no less than nearer to the sport it might and may have been at launch), there’s one factor that has irritated lots of long-time gamers ever since its launch and continues to take action: Specialists, a bunch of “hero” characters designed to switch the outdated “class” system.
Quite than let gamers select from a nondescript grunt with an assigned position—assault, engineer, recon, and so on—2042 introduced in cocky characters as a substitute, every with their very own devices and distinctive abilities. It’s kinda the identical thought, solely expressed with some extra flexibility and character, 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) will probably be packing.
DICE have been made very conscious of this in a short time, which is why they introduced again in August 2022 that growth on the sport was principally going again to the drafting board, and that lots of stuff that had been lower or modified for 2042 was going to be introduced extra in-line with what the collection was recognized for.
An important of these modifications was a reversion to the “class” system, which is lastly on the way in which within the recreation’s 3.2 replace that’s out later this month. Whereas it received’t go so far as many followers would love—it doesn’t ditch the Specialists totally, simply rearranges their gear and lumps them into courses—it would no less than convey 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 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 strive the brand new setup out myself earlier than getting too excited.
