Some of the many controversies surrounding Battlefield 2042 stemmed from all the ways it strayed from the series’ winning formula, and the most baffling change was the removal of classes in exchange for a Rainbow Six: Siege-style specialist system. The change downplayed the series’ emphasis on team synergy, and replaced it with a popular multiplayer idea that didn’t make sense for the kind of game Battlefield fans enjoy.
Despite how unpopular the changes were, the developers behind the next Battlefield game have announced that they’re not reverting the class structure. In a blog post published this week, the Battlefield team shared its vision for what classes will look like in the next game, and it looks like the first stumble for what’s otherwise been an exciting return to form.
