Around the future Battlefield passions flare up – after closed tests of Battlefield Labs, gamers are actively discussing innovations, especially the class system. Attention was attracted by the statement by David Goldfarb, the leading designer Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2, who sharply criticized the rejection of the classic model.

According to Goldfarb, the decision of Dice allow all fighters to use any weapon undermines the foundations of the series. “Battlefield is a game where the choice matters,” he said. Ring of the roles and the transition to the “everything can do everything” the developer considers it a step back. He recalled that even in Payday 2

on which he worked, did not allow the player to get everything at once – the restrictions were key for the balance. Dice, in turn, claims to be trying to find a balance between freedom of customization and preserving the role of classes. According to the developers, each class will have unique gadgets, but now weapons can now be chosen freely.

A full -fledged announcement of the new Battlefield is expected in the summer – it is then that it will become clear whether the developers will go to the end in the revision of the classical formula or listen to veterans.
