i don't like the operators

[Barry]

is there a way that i can play as generic infantry like in the old battlefield games? the operators and their uniqueness makes them unbearable.

no i am not joking. i genuinely enjoy playing as standard infantry.

[Losing my sanity]

like any battlefield fan, but no, u cant play as regular soldier

[RatBoggles]

U must be a quirky unique operator and u will like it
kinda sucks

[CorrWalon]

you can play as regular soldiers in portal game modes

[Barry]

NOooooooOOOO. i hate witty one liners!!

[SlimPickens]

i'm glad i'm not alone. its just seeing clones run around that have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ class identification. sure you got the red text and lines but. eh. playing with bots compared to players the color scheme of American Ai vs Russian Ai just feels better. you could argue its not important to gameplay but. it is. not everyone wants your poorly written mary sues and to stare and hear them all the time. i felt so bad about it i bought generic soldier cosmetics for mine. but then again its an EA game and i'm a fool for buying this game. but i got it for $20 on sale so. i'm not a victem of pre-order.

I preordered it, played it for 32 hours in early access and then refunded the hell out of it.
Im glad I did, part of me wanted to wait but the hero thing was just too offputting. Even if you ignored the bad hitreg, empty maps that seemed to have taken no more than 1 week to create and so on.
It was honestly just missing laugh tracks for whenever your 'operator' said something stupid.
Maybe they could have added map-wide laughing tracks for whenever you kill someone and your character made a quirky one liner

im only playing this because of the free weekend. $12 is still too expensive for me.
this game turns my laptop and my computer room into an oven but the only reason why im playing the free weekend is because i want to unlock the rorsck mk4 railgun and play with it for a little bit.

maybe if the game goes on sale for $5 then i'll get it.
im a rail gun fanboy

we should have got 2142 instead

[Barry]

also a mod that adds proximity based canned laughter whenever an operator makes a witty quote would be nice.

Most people are overthinking it. "Operators" or specialists barely even matter when you're actually PTFO-ing. Choosing a specialist is like choosing an extra gear.

They would have made 2142 just as bad. Imagine 2142 with specialists lol

Not quite, its super annoying and takes me(and many others) out of the experience when we see the same few faces over and over again. Skins dont fix that.

Nitpicking. If seeing faces over and over again is the issue then you can say the same about older BFs where classes got the same face. You could have 20 guys in your team with the exact same face.

But that was never an issue now was it?

Because reality is people don't even look or pay attention at the models that much. What people look at are the obvious Red colored indicators of names and health bar that are clearly shown when an enemy is on your line of sight.

Once you see its red your first instinct to shoot em dead. You won't even think about faces. Get real

Check portal mode, it's not as good as the original versions but they have modes that use the same layouts as BF3, 1942 and Bad Company.
Idk if its a redeeming enough to scratch that itch though.

yea but they all stick out like a sore thumb. sure they were all same-ish before but atleast i didn't recoil in disgust.

As for operators it would've been more immersive if there were different operators in each faction. Perhaps a system like Battlefront 2, when one gets enough points to unlock a 'specialist' during the match.
