Gotta love these reviews where they say things like ‘when your team is setting up an infantry front by doing X Y Z, and your squad mate repels up to alleviate the pressure on the rooftop so you can infiltrate the building ‘ always make me laugh. None of these things ever happen in the BF series. It’s literally just a bunch of rando’s who aren’t strategically doing anything as a squad. Plus, life and death in these games goes quick. You don’t ‘think’ or strategize during a round, you just run around and that’s that. I’ve tried many times to actually take the game seriously with hundreds of different people since BF 1942, and have never come across a single person who can do it for more than 2 minutes. The result is just everyone running around after a long days work/school mindlessly . Not complaining, just making an observation of these overly enthusiastic and detailed reviews about things that never happen in BF

So I have a theory - Hazard Zone was supposed to be a standalone game and was what the specialist and plus systems were completely designed around but then with the premature killing of BFV they had to quickly rework it into a Battlefield game.

The specialists are probably a means to make money by allowing for a lot of cosmetics specific to each character.

feel like specialists were just added so EA can better monetize the game. No one ever complained about the traditional class based system, and the change looks like it could be for the worse.

The one thing I really liked from BFV was the squad points. I don’t understand why they got rid of it when you can literally call in something that will change the game in your favor
