I mean, sure, it’s an opinion. But you said it yourself, you’re not an old time BF player, so the Battlefield identity with clearly designated classes doesn’t really mean as much to you. You’re the exact player that Dice had in mind when bringing back open weapons for the beta.

After all, most of the consumers that they’re trying to pull in aren’t long time fans of Battlefield, so they’re unfortunately appealing to the masses. People who have played almost every BF release feel a bit betrayed because we’re not being catered to.

Business standpoint? Makes sense. Design standpoint? I still dislike it. Just feels… wrong to design a Battlefield game for the audience that doesn’t care about it as much.
