Readability has definitely improved. I played a couple matches today (one of which was in the breakaway rework btw) and I can say, I felt a greater sense of comradery and teammates moving closer to one another. I enjoyed the feeling of being pressed to switch specialists depending on the situation our squad was trying to handle (of course, some may not be a fan of that) as it hearkens back to the older BF titles.

I haven’t played 2042 since launch but this update is bringing me back in, this is what I thought the 2042 system was going to be like from the start

After having played some maps, I think it's a completely different game. More tactical, not so hectic and chaotic anymore.
More like the old battlefields for sure!

I have played every battlefield and i DO think the class system in it's multiple variations is a fundamental part of the battlefield experience. It provides and incentivizes team play without forcing it too much. I love that any weapon can be used by any class just certain ones are slightly encouraged. Lots of freedom while still rewarding a specific gameplay style that the players can choose to adhere to. Very nice choice! I like it! :) I got over 100 assists with the new TUGS today. (first day of the update) :D hahaha

Not sure if this happened to anyone else, but the update set my cross-play to "off".
Took me almost 20 minutes to figure out why I couldn't join any matches.

If you have trouble joining into a game after this update, check your settings in cross-play!

This is such a useful guide to navigate through the Classes, thank you for putting this together!

My gripe with the proficiency weapon for classes is that none of the classes arent proficient with Marksman rifles and Tacticals. I feel like there should be "minor" proficiency for them at the very least.

Played a few matches this morning. Mouse input feels good and I absolutely love the classes. Now it feels like I’m playing with a team instead of mix matched chaos. This is a major step in the right direction and most of all, it’s FUN

Been playing for a few months now, glad I took a second to do some reviewing. Thanks!!

Just got off and played a few solo matches to see how it felt and it feels... Not marginal but didn't impact how I played. Then again, I actively chose weapons I liked and paired Specialists with gadgets that suited them most instead of min/maxing. However, everything else feels really good! With exception to button mapping, everything felt a lot smoother and heavier, similar to BF4 but sort of a BF4++ in terms of soldier movement and gunplay. Just a touch faster

damn, my only gripe is that support didnt get to keep the throwing knife :( i would've liked to keep up my knives only loadout while being able to heal and supply myself

[mr.balder]

They also added damage number when shoot at vehicle but you need to turn it on in the option

[Spazattitude]

I'm loving the new system! I do think the helicopters might need a slight health pool buff though. With how easy it is to lock on and a whole new missle added its only fair.

[FurBurger]

I honestly feel like my participation and job is being rewarded properly now. Been top of the board in 3 matches now and that's without having the most kills. It will take some getting use to and I already miss some of my loadout combos but can definitely feel the more structured gameplay.

[kidcharlemagne]

Support not having c5 is really annoying.

[Kritafur]

I don't know why I've never thought about binding steady scope to aim, great tip. Keep up the awesome work 👍

[meemh]

Thank you super woman. And are you liking the class system? Which specialist and weapon are you going for tier 1 now? Your videos are the best for 2042 content. Thank you.

[jasontitanomachy]

I'm fairly happy with the update. I wasn't sure 2042 needed the classes, I rather enjoyed the chaos of it all, but this definitely helps me to play more efficiently and still gives me flexibility.

[SolidusMark]

The update that transformed battlefield into Battlefield!

[OlderThanAverageGamer]

Am I just imagining it, or has the mouse latency issue seemed to have jumped back into the mix? Played for a bit today and really did like what the classes do for gameplay (particularly in smaller modes like RUSH) but the mouse aiming felt like it took a hit to responsiveness.
