They should remove operators

[Samus]

I'm getting tired of this operator/specialist/hero system in games. Not every game needs to be like COD 2019-2024, this system in games ruins the immersion and it's just an excuse to put in more microtransactions.
I don't want to see a clone wars killing clones on an opposite team like it's modern COD, COD Warzone, Halo Infinite, Battlefield 2042 or whatever corporate game, I want generic nameless soldiers on different teams fighting each other so we can easily see who's an enemy and who's an friendly.
Remember when the Battlefield 1, 3, 4, and the older Call of Duty games had U.S. soldiers on the U.S. team and Russian soldiers on the Russian team? Good times.

They said skins will be grounded, but I dunno how much. The gun skins look 'good' from what I've seen. It's the operator skins that matter more, I hope they keep those looking good.

but... the things that bother me the most in CoD are the crossovers, pure ill-fitting trash like borderlands man and the excessive death effects. Weapon skins don't really matter at all in comparison.

There will NEVER be a toggle for this stuff in these games.

Agree. Hope they add this option, to have a more immersive game.

Play battlefield 3 and understand

Jokes on you. I tried and I still don't understand.

Only one word: META.

I disagree. I like hero shooters on top of that, every single Battlefield game had "clones" anyways. The only difference is in one game there are named clones while the other game have nameless clones. Example : Every single US engineer in BF3 was a bearded guy with a cap, while every single Medics were a black guy with sunglasses. It was all the same except they didn't have names.

you failed to mention.
The other team you were facing had completely different characters for the classes. Which meant you weren't facing yourself in every battle like you do now. But you also remained on a completely equal playing field.

I don't like heroes in games like this either. Like somebody already said, there will always be a meta where one hero is the best pick because of his skill/ability that he has.

Also it's kind of stupid, that a grounded military shooter has 'heroes'. One that bunny hops around the map like an idiot, other that flies, and other that shoots bubbles out of his ass... really? Just give us regular soldiers with classes.

That said, the game will be free, so I can't really be too mad about this. We will see.

And that's supposed to say something? There will always be a "meta", even if the devs decided to remove specialists. Cope

Because then no one would buy the skins.
People who buy those skins don't do it so they can see them (it's a FPS game, you don't see your character 99% of the time), but they do it so others can see it. If you could remove that with a single option setting, nobody would be interested in buying.

Back when games were not monetized the way they are now, we did have those options. You could turn that option on, in say Q3A and have everybody use the same basic 'Sarge' model, so your game would run faster.

At least with this game, you can justify it, because the game itself is going to be free, but there are games that cost full price and still do this kind of crap. That is just pure greed (isn't it EA? isn't it Acti.-Blizz.?)...

nah, when I first saw the trailer, I absolutely hate the specialist BS. But I think I'm starting to like it, I don't think they need to remove it, just don't add any ridiculously op class into the game.

The only thing I want them to change is that weapons should be accessible to all operators.

This would unfortunately make it even worse.
Right now, they only incentive to play a 'sub obtimal' operator, is because of the weapon choices.
You want to snipe, you need to play one of the two girls. And here we have a good example why operators are bad: you have two chices the bow girl, and the UwU kawaii anime girl.
Well the bow girl is clearly superior, because her skills are just better. In fact I've heard some people, who played the pre-alpha test, that the UwU kawaii operator is the worst out of all the six.

If you give all weapons to all operators, you'll have everyone play one, maybe two, that have the best skills, and the rest will gather dust.
This is the whole thing about meta and operators that people don't like, and I agree with them.
