Disgruntled “Battlefield 2042” players might soon give the game another chance as DICE confirmed it is bringing back the Class System. While the developer does not plan on completely removing the Specialists, DICE said it is going to bring back the “class identity” among playable characters.
The Specialists system was one of the biggest gameplay changes DICE introduced in “Battlefield 2042.” It was a massive change from the franchise’s Class System as Specialists have access to more flexible loadouts, and each Specialist can fight without being confined to designated roles. But these changes also become some of the most criticized aspects of the game, with many players clamouring for the return of the old Class System.
The good news is DICE has confirmed in a blog post on Monday that it is reworking the Specialists by bringing back the “Class Identity and a more defined sense of role” for the characters. The Specialists will be grouped into four classes, namely Assault (Mackay, Sundance, and Dozer), Support (Angel and Falck), Engineer (Lis, Boris, and Irish), and Recon (Casper, Paik, and Rao).
Bringing back the Class System also means the array of available gadgets and equipment to each Specialist will be more restricted. Each character will spawn with designated equipment based on their class — Med Pen for Assault, Defibrillator for Support, Repair Tool for Engineer, and Insertion Beacon for Recon.
There will be some variation in the available gadgets and throwables that “Battlefield 2042” players can choose, but they will also depend on a character’s class. “You’ll also notice that we’re actively exploring bringing in some of our Battlefield Portal gadgets to expand the range of gadgets that a Class based Specialist will have access to,” DICE added.
The Class System, while already in the works, will not be added to “Battlefield 2042” immediately. DICE plans to release these changes as part of Update 3.2, which will go live in the latter part of Season 3. But the developer noted that this release window is just a “loose estimate” based on their current progress.
