The balance is better when weapons are locked to classes in my opinion. Otherwise you typically have everyone using one or two weapons between all classes.

I'm sure Dice will get it right this time. It's only been almost 10 years since their last good BF game.

If this is just for the purposes of collecting data during the beta, fine. If they intend to keep this for launch, I think it's a stupid move that will only splinter the playerbase down the line.
Grow some balls, add class restrictions to weapons, and make that part of the standard ruleset. Enough of this "play how you want to!!" bullshit. Battlefield was founded upon the idea of specialized kits working together in units and teams to cover each other's weaknesses and effectively tackle objectives. Go back to that design philosophy.

Imagine going onto the battlefield in real life and because you were trained in a-school to be a medic they tell you that you can't have an assault rifle to fight with because you are a medic. Dumbest shit I've ever heard.

Don't penalize people with subpar weapons because they want to heal people or whatever the example may be
I will for sure be playing the open weapon play lists

Have any of you played Battlefield before 2042 ?
You could be a Medic with very good offensive weapons that were restricted to your class in the previous games so I don't understand your replies.

Yes I have played a lot of 2042 and I don't think any class should have a weapon restriction

So you don't know what the Battlefield IP is unfortunately.
Battlefield is all about class synergy and kits that are tailored-made for said classes.
It's how the IP worked for decades and what made its success.

They need to go back to weapons tied to a class and also back to only Medics being able to revive. I felt that once they went away from that and letting anyone revive, being brought back went way down since most people probably just assumed someone else would do that. Go back to BF4 style of classes and unlocks and you win. Its so fucking simple.

Imagine being a medic in real life and finding out you can't bring someone back to life with a syringe or defibrillator paddles after they got shot in the head with a 50-cal.

Exactly! I will never understand the argument against shared weapons. "Everyone will be using the same 3 weapons" So what?! Get better than them and it doesn't matter.

If the game is buggy af, and EA tells everyone that it's an old build, people better have learned their lesson.

Talking about weapons bro, don't try to derail from the actual topic to make a different argument.

Imagine comparing real life combat to an FPS game which has to be designed to provide a gaming experience that adheres to a certain vision behind it (and Battlefield as a game concept has a very clear vision behind it, provided you're not trying to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of reinventing it). THAT is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
cash_longfellow
Member
How are you going to say they have a clear vision behind it, when y'all are arguing and complaining about that exact vision? The wheel already got reinvented…Battlefield isn't what it was 3 games ago, sorry. If it's that big of a deal, get over it or move to a different game. The 5% of Battlefield fans mad about this shit is wild to me…Some more dumb shit. That why devs can't come out with a good game anymore, because people can't stop bitching about every little thing in a game.

He used real life as if that makes a good argument for gameplay balance. I'm pointing out the silliness of that, bro.

I'm leaning towards class restrictions. Although I still don't understand why medics can't have an SMG. If you're reviving people you're literally as close quarters as it gets.

I'm sorry, but is 2042 the only Battlefield game that you've ever played? Cause if you've actually played any pre-2042 games, not wanting class weapon restrictions is VERY weird and kinda puts into question whether you actually understand what makes Battlefield work as a game.

I said it, "he" didn't…at least take a moment and realize who you are even arguing with. Also, have you ever heard of a metaphor?
coolmast3r

How very scientific of you to come up with that "5%" claim... And it's EA/DICE we're talking about here, the very people who have brought us 2 Battlefield trainwrecks in a row, the second one being even worse than the first.

Minor detail. So you're the one who made a worthless argument. My bad. And LOL at claiming that was a metaphor. That's special.

Loved old BF games but doesn't mean they need to adhere to certain rules today
The recent BFs haven't worked all that well, when was the last GOOD BF game?
BF1 maybe what 10 years ago?
BF4?
Its time to mix things up and I love the different play lists being able to hop back and forth

This.
I love playing as a medic but I don't want to be running around with a rubbish weapon just because I enjoy healing and reviving people.

You're the type of guy to make everything your girlfriends fault, aren't you?
I love this thread because all of you who literally can't come up with a legitimate argument why weapons shouldn't be shared, make it feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. More people to ignore though, I'm good with that!

This seems to be the extent of your capacity. Weak arguments, such as using real life as the rules for gameplay mechanics (lol), and even weaker insults.
Also, yes, it is your mom's fault.

It's not how the Battlefield franchise actually works. It's all about having synergy between roles and kits being specific to a class.
You are not powerless as a Medic, you have access to a wide variety of weapons and you saying that just shows that you know nothing about the license.
I don't understand why we should debate with you well it is obvious that you don't know a thing about what you're saying...

big team conquest and rush, locked classes. don't need a engineer with a sniper rifle.
small team rush and deathmatch or whatever, sure, pick whatever you want.

I usually agree with you, but not here. BF is all about classes, and how they control points. A sniper with an LMG, SMG, or Assult Rifle would be bonkers.

Oh I for sure don't mind if people disagree with me
I am just glad they are giving us the option as I might find the perfect weapon that fits my playstyle (which in the alphas has been an LMG) just don't force me into a class I don't want to play just to be able to have a gun I like

I have a feeling this mode won't be very active not long after the game launches, people have gotten too accustomed to the freedom of whatever weapon for whatever class

Don't know why you're getting the lol reactions. If it doesn't, they better forget about charging full price. The last time, they listened to the dumbasses clamoring that multiplayer only would make the game better. What we got instead with their last "multiplayer" only game was a giant scam. 2042 had bad animations, no destruction, bad netcode, missing score cards, bad design, bad maps, f2p mobile game tier gunplay, no replay value at all. No way will I or many others consider paying full price for a multiplayer only game.

I'm a long time BF player (since 1942 when I picked it up without knowing exactly what it was) and think that weapons should be unlocked. I understand balancing issues but I feel it's even worse when everyone flocks to the class that holds the weapon that is currently high ranked in the meta.
Gadgets should be locked, though.
I can enjoy it either way but I hope they are unlocked.

Thinks Microaggressions are Real
Pretty much this. Shared weapons is fine. Just find another way to differentiate classes.
stupid test. just pick a direction. the fact they are 'testing' this seems retarded. this is one problem I have with the game. Just make a game.
this constant polling or virtue signaling or pretending that everyone has a say drives me nuts when I think about it.
they didn't need any of this for the great BF games. They had vision and made stuff they "presumably" thought was a blast.
Now they are sticking their wet finger up in the air to try and judge the wind and temperature.
lacking leadership.
And the dumbest thing is this doesn't really even matter. some act like it's a hill to die on but it's not.
