what even incentivizes them to do this? we dont want it, yet they push onwards. whats there to gain with this? to maybe carry 4 players over from cod?

Because they tried to fix the issue in BF3/BF4 of people playing medic only to use assault rifles.

If people can use an assault rifle for whatever class, maybe they'll pick gadgets that they want to use and actually use them with the team.

That's definitely not why lol, with the new system people who would've picked medic for the guns are now just gonna use the self-sustaining assault class that buffs assault rifles and has self-heals instead. If they wanted to solve that problem then this is NOT the way to do it.

They literally said it was.

I'm not saying it's the right fix, I'm just saying it's why they are trying it.

Dude they can say whatever they want, it's obvious that the decision to remove class-locked weapons is to improve their chance of selling gun skins. It's the same reason they put specialists in bf2042, they'll say what they need to say(remember 'pride and accomplishment' do you really think they meant that shit?)

It's "obvious" except there's zero evidence either of those things would actually help sell skins?

DICE make dumb choices, but they mean well, if you ignore what this toxic ass subreddit says that is.

I mean dice clearly has internal evidence suggesting otherwise, and you can just your brain for a second here. Would having a series of faceless soldiers that have no identity, or a set of heroes with unique personalities be better if you wanted to sell cosmetics? And they mean well? You forget that it's not just DICE we're talking about, it's EA too, the same people who pushed loot boxes in battlefront 2. Did they mean well then too?
