Battlefield 2042 - Irish Specialist short gameplay footage
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Not exactly a big deal but still unsure why they made him an engineer rather than a support. Would seem to make sense to give the LMG using character of BF4 a support class.
Second gadget was the trophy system. You could see it stop a rocket. Probably more useful for supporting vehicles than infantry, now that I think about it.

You know someone is gonna sit on a tank and deploy that haha
What?
WHY?!
That dashed my hopes for a Return To Form in a single sentence.
They concluded that people were choosing classes mostly based on weapons which defeats the purpose of playing a certain role. Now you will first choose your role on the battlefield and then what weapon to roll with.
They're shooting at something behind Irish, for whatever reason. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that is the first time I've seen teammates be completely useless in a Battlefield game.
Halo is going to keep me entertained until BF hits gamepass through EA Play. Good times await.
Jesus that aim assist is like a magnet…I hope they finally add aim assist to PC if you use a controller.
Welp, guess I'm skipping this one then. My only hope now is another spinoff of Squad, but dialed forward a century instead of back to WW2.
Battlefield needs:
1. Vehicles on Map - Gone since BF4
2. Strictly defined Classes - Gone since BF3
3. Team-Specific Weapons - Gone since BadCo
The last thing we need is people holding capture points and holding the line at choke points. Worthless camper behavior right there.
Or you could embrace change and enjoy what will probably be a fun game. Check out some videos when it comes out to see if you change your mind.
Wild that the new operator for Siege was revealed yesterday with... Basically the same gadget? Lol
I feel like in BFV 70% of people played the Assault Class for this reason. Also, Medic Class was such a pain to pay limited to SMGs in that game. Honestly might be a good call.
Why does it need any of that? Battlefield has earned its right to transform itself and explore new and interesting ventures just like any gaming series. I don't see the point in instantly rejecting a game the second you hear about a specific change, just because it doesn't reflect the past well enough. What's important is that they are focused on making improvements to the gameplay as well as keeping it fresh. Getting rid of class specific weapons can certainly be seen as an improvement in that regard. At least their argument is a valid one but if this is the right solution only time will tell. The bottom line is that no one knows so it's fruitless to make judgments and "nope I'm out" comments at this point.
