Operators are great, they add needed functionality to the 4 base battlefield classes which are honestly underdeveloped. Yall got rose-tinted glasses thinking it was better when you had less options. Go back to any of the old battlefield and the "class system" will feel chintzy at best

I think that you could do classes in a way that involves the operator tools, but without the actual operators. Like have "the various assault tools" be options within the Assault Class. There's no reason to have "literally this specific guy" be the "shield guy" or whatever.

And I actually like the limitations to equipment from classes, though that's far more subjective (since there are definitely upsides to just letting everyone use all guns). I think the main thing I would like to see preserved is "a sense of distinct roles."

I had a round of Redacted that made me understand all the complaints about it. We just couldn't break through to that third area. They had us locked down with the bulk of their team in the middle, and a contingent on each side door, and the hail of grenades was enough to keep everyone penned in, no matter how many gadgets or how much teamwork. I've never seen a random server where so many people knew to use anti-grenade emplacements, the revives didn't stop, everyone was giving each other ammo and health, spotting, cover fire, moving in groups, nothing mattered. I managed to get in once; maybe if we'd managed a flood of grenades and a few guys with shields? Yikes.

The EMP grenade will destory an anti-grenade shoot down emplcement. Absolute nessecity for Redacted that someone on your team is equipping them.

Oh we had the anti grenade emplacements, they were barely keeping back the flood of cluster grenades. It was such a basic defense, just throwing those stupid grenades, but there are so few ways through that point it kept us back and almost pushed us back to our dumb spawn before we ran out of tickets. It was the worst round I've had on that map; usually I can sneak in to the next point and survive for at least a little bit, but there was just no getting through.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
I'm still plodding along with this game. Got about 800 hours under my belt. Final week of the season. I pretty much only play to get my weekly missions + bonus mission done. Managed to get the bonus all 19 weeks -- just one evening a week, 3-4 hours. I still have fun. Grind out some Redacted, with PTFO play, and now I just chilled with a sniper rifle on RushXL. Not heard too much about the new season.

Need more maps with secret tunnels and fully destructible buildings hiding secret tunnels

e I keep going back to bf4 in the evenings for the faster load times, and the buildings seriously are the secret to why the maps are just miles better. Dragon valley had a small town at each flag, and a few in between where snipers could set up and then get stormed by tanks and infantry. I helped roll an objective by demolishing a building so a couple squads could run in from an unexpected angle. Then our entire team got wrecked by two guys who had been flying helicopters perfectly since Battlefield Vietnam, but it was great until then

"Suburban combat" sounds like a good step in the right direction, very bc2/bf4 close combat or China rising. Hopefully you'll be able to level all the buildings and get a new map by the end of most rounds; that's what I'm really looking for, not lovable specialists. I want destruction and the ability to ground my team's aircraft carrier for the rest of the match

That’s exactly what i’m hoping next BF will be like. EA have claimed the next title will have a focus on incredible destruction. I ain’t gonna get my hopes up too much after this game tho.

The map is okay, what is not okay but sadly expected at this point is that dice reduces the number of vehicles but leaves the stupid helicopters in. So even less counters to them and more annoyance for everybody else. Great.

I really want to know which dice employee has the hots for helicopters so bad. Don't answer that, I know it's for the free PR from helosperg streamers.

I like how I have the EA App set up automatically keep games up to date and it has never once actually done that.

After downloading the update I played a few rounds of the new map in Breakthrough and wasn’t really impressed. It feels just like the middle section of Arica Harbor, but with less variety. No helis, or really many vehicles at all, but the attackers always get more than the defenders so the matches have felt one sided there as well.

If my math is correct, the next game will flaunt 256 player servers, then they’ll proceed to only develop two maps that can support that many people.
