User blog:Awyman13/Battlefield 4: Upgrade Paths Info

DICE announced on a Battlefield Blog post changes in Battlefield 4s classes as well as formally announcing Upgrade Paths and a few Specializations.

Basically there will be a total of 11 Upgrade Paths. Each class will have two unique paths for a total of 8 paths for them. The other 3 paths are all-kit, meaning any kit can use them. Each path has 4 Specializations each meaning there would technically be a total of 44 Specializations in the game.

While thats not necessarily true, as paths will reuse specializations, DICE has confirmed there would be over 25 Specializations in the game. Paths work based on Squad based actions, with progress gained to each specialization in a path by doing them. Progress for a path is saved if a new path is chosen, a new squad has been joined, or a new kit has been selected. Some progress, however, will be lost for the path currently selected if your entire squad has been wiped.

Lastly, remember how there are 3 all-kit paths. Well two of those have been announced but for the third, DICE is holding a contest. They have created four paths, each of which can be voted on as your favorite. The one with the most votes win and will become that third all-kit path in BF4.
