2042 made an enormous deal pre-release about its new “Specialists”, hero-type characters with versatile loadouts who would substitute the sequence tried-and-tested “Class” system (multiplayer FPS archetypes like ‘Recon’ and ‘Assault’). Those Specialists had been wildly unpopular with long-time followers, each for his or her gameplay implications in addition to their design, and whereas the latter is already being addressed it appears like builders DICE have been satisfied to additionally rework the previous.

In an enormous replace posted by the event staff, it’s revealed that they’ve “started work on a massive overhaul on the way that you’ll play with Specialists”, which primarily goes to separate the distinction between the standard system and 2042’s use of Specialists. The hero characters are going to stay, however they’ll be assigned into class tiers (see above), with some gadget use restricted between courses to “ensure that Class Identity is more pronounced”. So solely recon gamers will have the ability to use a SOFLAM, for instance, whereas medical crates will solely be accessible to assist gamers. As somebody who mains Mackay (within the ‘Assault’ class) however makes use of the SOFLAM quite a bit that sucks, however I assume we’ll see the way it all shakes out as soon as the modifications go stay (which gained’t be for some time, since DICE say it gained’t be till Season 3).
Other modifications coming in and round Season 2 shall be three new weapons (two mains and a sidearm), in addition to refreshes to 2 of the sport’s launch maps, Renewal and Orbital, that are coming alongside one other model new map. DICE can even begin including some “vault” weapons to the principle recreation, that are weapons from the time-travelling Portal recreation mode, in addition to persevering with the visible refresh of all of the Specialists, particularly ‘Voices, Body Posture, and Facial Expression changes”.
