Does anyone play the specialists

In truth, Falck does support her squad by functioning as a longer-range medic. They can either remotely control the drone and manually spot enemies for their team, or they can have the drone hover above a certain area and automatically spot players who fall within its sensor range, similar to the flares or T-UGS of previous Battlefield games. The drone can also shoot out an EMP blast that can briefly disrupt enemy electronics. It seems like Casper can definitely pose a long-range threat as a sniper, but he might also be a great option for an aggressive, SMG-wielding player.

This thing automatically locks onto targets—both infantry and vehicles—making it a great tool for players trying to defend a capture point. Or you can, you know, just blow it up. Sundance is apparently one of the least effective, while Casper's ability makes him very strong, and not just with a sniper, but apparently on the ground with an SMG too.

Specialists will allow EA to sell microtransactions more easily because they create personalities that people can grow attached to. This explains the success of cosmetics in hero shooters. The problem is, Battlefield fans have an expressed desire for cosmetics that are closer to generic mil-sim uniforms.

So the idea of Battlefield growing closer to a hero shooter, and the 'personality' that this entails, has been poorly received. In the Twitter and Reddit threads recently, a lot of responses seem to echo the same sense of loss. A lot of fans would rather play as a normal soldier, but from a nationality they would pick.

They want to be 'generic soldier 1'. This kind of mechanical strength or weakness being introduced for every Specialist will produce a meta and presumably quite a stringent one reports suggest that the wingsuit is pointless while the spotting drone is overpowered for instance. This is not what Battlefield fans, at least for the most part, claim to want.

And again, it will produce more discontent when the Battle Pass comes around and players start to realize that the new Specialists each season will inevitably have stronger abilities than what's currently available.

But like i always say, it is what it is. We'll all have to play a few games to see if its really terrible or not. Message 3 of 1, Views. Reply 3. Message 4 of 1, Views. Message 5 of 1, Views.

The military does identify combat roles within a squad or team for each member to fill, but cross-training can make those combat roles interchangeable and I see specialists in much the same light.
