Forum:Ideas for BF4 classes

While BF4 is going to be released in 6 months, I would like to discuss my ideas for classes in BF4 multiplayer to allow for more strategies and teamwork.

Though DICE will most likely will implement the current kits we have now that was first introduced in BF 2142, our 4 kit Medic Assault, Engineer, Support And Recon, I would like to see some change in them. The kits were ridden with problems, Medic being the king of anti-infantry mowing down enemies and dishing out health, while engineer was basically the only anti-armor kit and while wielding his carbine, he still had plenty of firepower. Support was given the strange gadgets not suited to him such as explosives, the useless/camp mortar and the claymores. Recon, had potential to have teamwork atributes but much of his gadgets where not that mobile. The motion sensor had to be deployed and inefficient unlike the motion sensor in BC2. The laser painter had to be deployed and the MAv required the player to sit in a corner while he controlled it. Also, the MAV was rarely used properly.

Feel free to discuss any changes or additonal gadgets for kits.
