Battlefield 2042 has a plethora of new features ranging from wingsuist to the new weapon plus cycle. There is also a new Specialists system. If you've been a long-time Battlefield fan, you will be aware of the old class system where you could choose only from four set classes, each featuring its own weapons and equipment.
The main issue with the old class system was the exclusivity of the weapons and equipment, and restrictions to them. Each class had a selection of weapons to choose from, and players were restricted from choosing any other weapon. For instance, assault rifles were associated with Assault Class, while the LMGs were tied to the Support Class.
While this feature gave every class its own "personality", it restricted players from choosing the weapon of their choice. In Battlefield 2042, The new Specialists system replaces the classes and gives players full freedom of choice.
The new Specialists system is similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. There are Specialists with unique names, looks, abilities, and weapons. Yes, they have the same weapons, but you can still customize your loadout with the weapons YOU like.
Each specialist has one unique Speciality and Trait, but the rest of the loadout is fully customizable, allowing you to choose whatever weapon you wish to take with you to the battlefield. This allows players to keep the character-specific special abilities without using the weapons assigned by the game.
