Full Guide to Classes in Battlefield 2042 - Tips and Tricks for Beginners

[@msaeedazizi]

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.

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

That's the meat and potatoes without it. It isn't Battlefield.

[@msaeedazizi]

@@OPTIMUMELITE I'm sorry but this exactly is what battlefield has been for the longest of time. Players were never meant to have solutions for all kinds of problems. They were always encouraged to 1: either take a specific role and keep playing it around specific problems (aka think of someone who kept playing as assault in BF4, even in a vehicle heavy map like Silk Road, which meant they had to avoid certain areas or actions to remain functional or effective in combat) or 2: show flexibility to the problem by changing classes depending on the needs of the team (for example think of a BF1 assault player who repeatedly gets sniped in Ballroom Blitz, so he changes to recon and decides to fight off the enemy snipers for a bit) This here, is exactly what has been going on in all other older BF titles all the time, all the way back to BF2 and 1942.

[@damienmcdonald7610]

I found people actually playing class roles I hope it sticks

[@jrod9570]

@Saeed Azizi the only issue with classes in previous games was attrition in bfv. Playing assault on panzerstorm means you spend more time finding health or ammo than killing infantry or tanks. That being said, when the map launched, both the medic and support had no anti tank capabilities. The recon at least had the advantage over the medic against infantry. However, the medic really could only play around the C,D, and E flags, but a tank could still roll up to any of those objectives at any time so few people picked the medic even though he has unlimited health. Attrition was and still is a horrible mechanic. I know they increased the amount of ammo you spawn with so that you're only down one mag from being full and brought back taking health and ammo off soldiers from crates, but both ammo and health attrition could've been improved without bringing back passive regen. For health attrition, they could've had non medics drop 50 health and medics drop 100 health when they die (balancing medics having unlimited health). At the very least, they could've allowed a successful squad revive to resupply the one health pack other classes get (if you complete a squad revive, you receive a full magazine). For ammo, they simply should've let us spawn with full ammo and gadgets. Even the support (with the exception of the lunge mine and light AT mine) still has to resupply himself when he spawns. Sorry for the long rant, but in the case of all other bf titles, you're correct.

[@msaeedazizi]

@@jrod9570 yes attrition definitely sucks :( Was never a fan of that at all. It did not promote gameplay in any meaningful way and was just a pain🥲

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

[@BullsMahunny]

Honestly, they're almost completely different games at this point. The map reworks REALLY improved this game. All the bullshit aside, if the maps at launch were like how they are now this game wouldn't have gotten nearly as bad a rap.

[@christianjuen556]

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!

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

Yeah. I think they'll get it right. When it comes down to it. The game needs to be what it always has and less of what Battlefield isnt. They can add stuff but keep classes and squad play. Then add stuff. There are features from prior titles that I wish would return, like Squad,Commanders,Battle Pickups, we can get things like special weapons and experimental stuff and miniguns. I would like if they could bring suppression back, I think something similar to portal should return. Basically custom games. Not just presets to choose but being able to place vehicles props and essentially edit the level. I also wouldn't mind things other than tornadoes on every map. I could see flooding on certain city maps, Earthquakes that shift objectives around on certain maps, Volcanic eruptions that Rain debris on a certain map and I want to be able to drag my teammates to cover. The game should ultimately become more tactical. The environments should be made with that in mind as well and we should get increased destruction in the playable areas of the map and that goes for all the maps. Every wall, every building,Windows. I know it's possible, to have chunks of buildings collapsing in game and pieces falling on nearby player because we had it in BF3. The Final thing I want from the next title, is a Dark and realistic setting, even if its in after 2042., the soldiers should reflect this. The Specialist in 2042 even with there different outfits look cheap and silly. The soldiers in the next game should feel like how actual soldier would feel about a literal WW4. "It's not a game a fun carefree game but its a game like BF1 that displays tragedy and hardship on all fronts". Okay that's all. Hope it's good next time. Battlefield 6. 2024-2025

[@connorbanepoop]

Great. Glad they updated out the few things I actually thought were fun. All to appeal to the retards that dropped the game a year ago and will pick it up for 2 games and never come back again.

[@budrothefox3666]

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

[@jeffbarker730]

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

[@TeamWolf64]

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

[@grimnir27]

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!

[@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.

[@Kritafur]

[@Lonewerewolf777]

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

[@paperboy1116]

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

[@jaxmarumaru]

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.

[@BullsMahunny]

If you think about it in logical terms no one is really "proficient" in Marksman rifles. They're just a stopgap weapon used between standard combat rifles and purpose built snipers. They're really just handed to soldiers that tend to score better on their marksmanship tests. As for tacticals, why would people be trained in those? They're niche weapons. The exception to that I suppose could be the railgun as I could see a highly specialized unit in their use being trained but everything else is whatever. If they were gonna go that route it should simply be that some classes get a proficiency bonus on some kind of utility. Snipers get the GVT, engineers get the shotguns, Assault gets the railgun, etc.

[@meem0h]

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.

[@HoPPa8SkiT]

As a veteran of Battlefield, it is quite nice that they return to what was before. Just think that they will lose more players because many younger people don't want to play in teams, it seems. They just want chaos & kills. Not the team play. For me, team play is the essence of this game.

[@swector_unit4257]

Even though there is still no team play unless you play with friends and no people still don't want to work as a team when it comes to breakthrough or rush on all titles or I just have horrible luck.

[@squashiejoshie200000]

Teamplay has always been a minority of players. It will continue to be the minority. Teamplay was never really affected by the specialist system. It was affected by a lack of information in the beta, then in the early release of the game. People simply didn't know who had ammo and had no way to ask for ammo. Now they do and they can. They have been able to for the best part of a year at this point. Unless people actively use those tools for communication that are available, it will never improve. Any belief that this is some kind of night and day change is pure self delusion.

Nobody wants to revive because nobody plays medic, past my first match not a single ammo crate in sight, enemies are swarming our points and everyone just runs away, campers are marked like, 8 times but nobody kills them, its ridiculous. I dont blame the new system, just the old, much more toxic battlefeild players coming back

I am very Happy as well. The thing about classes is, that they make you feel like beeing part of a huge army. A step towards beeing actual infantry soldiers instead of weird cringe specialists. I also like the breakthrough mode on the new reworked map. The oil containers act similar to levelution, I like that.

[@Albus_Rex]

As someone who's trying to focus on being an Engineer, this update is suffering. It's not the specialists either, Boris is my most played for whatever reason. I CANNOT get any ammo, period. Once I'm out of rockets, that's it. In the few hours I've played today I've notice less overall supports, but a handful of very dedicated medics. I guess that's the problem with combining the ammo bearer with the medic role, everyones going heals and no one has ammo. Then if it's not the ammo, there isn't a recon player marking any vehicles for locks so I can use the Javelin. So I'm back to just using the recoiless M5 free aim. It's all so tiresome.

[@richardyen0412]

Now i hope they fix a bug that I can't respawn on super hind and condor when they are outside the map at start And hope i can zoom in the map to see where i really want to respawn, sometimes possible respawn icon stick together, i can't choose the one i want precisely, that's annoying sometimes One more thing I hope they'll change, separate the squad command (thanks, need ammo...etc) from the kills info that shows on left screen, maybe seperate it to the right. i know there's a filter that can set kills info to squad only, but I want it both at the same time and clear enough to know For now, patch 3.2 is awesome.

Lastly, it's the old blue thermal, not the grey thermal / night vision.

While some may frown upon that addition, I think it's the opportune moment for their introduction. This is when all the old players are coming back to try out what made the series fun, some may not want to wait to try everything out. It doesn't really hurt anyone

[@squashiejoshie200000]

Of all the things in this update, that's the one I had the least problem with. It looked like it included some old battlepass weapons which I wasn't sure how new players would get. It also lets new players get up to speed, which in 2042 isn't that hard anyway. As for what this is going to be doing to teamplay, more than half the players played a specialist for their gadget, then ran whatever they wanted before. Now, if you want to play Mckay, you don't give ammo and you don't have a launcher. If you want to play recon, you are totally dependent on someone giving you ammo. Considering you're nowhere near where most supports will want to play, that's going to involve placing a spawn beacon and redeploying far more often than previously. Snipers have a place on the battlefield and quite frankly, it's nowhere near the rest of the team that they now depend on. McKay and Sundance are going to be relying on squadmates spawning on them with ammo boxes to have ammo if they actually use their abilities, and when someone wants to fight a tank, now they will have to wait until a support drops ammo. Why is ammo coming up so much? Because 90% of players who ran it before ran it because they weren't really fussed about their gadget slot and so ran ammo so they could keep shooting. Now, that's reduced by 75%, if not more. Given the number of restrictions on ammo, specifically for gadgets, it's going to be a mess in half the matches people play. moral of the story: If everyone can play whatever combination of roles they want, you will get people doing everything, but if that goes away, you're dependent on the few people who choose one of their favorite roles over another.
