Despite how unpopular the changes were, the developers behind the next Battlefield game have announced that they’re not reverting the class structure. The next Battlefield will retain the class system of Battlefield 2042. DICEThe next Battlefield game will have the Assault, Recon, Engineer, and Support classes for players to choose from, but specific weapon types won’t be locked behind classes as they were in older Battlefield games. When Battlefield 2042 launched, players had to pick one of 14 specialists, each of which had exclusive abilities, not dissimilar to a game like Overwatch. While DICE has made controversial changes to the class system before, like merging the old Medic class with the Assault class in Battlefield 3, those proved to be carefully considered tweaks.
