Vehicles (at least tanks and planes) are now Class Specific in Battlefield 1

So bad company 2 didn't require teamwork? Lmao

Every game based on teamwork is usually shit if you pug it.
Seriously. The internet isn't new. That's how it works when you are only in it for you. Now you'll still get those same people hogging the rides because they choose a class to. No stealing vehicles. No dynamics. Same problem.
Solves nothing, mate. Especially the teamwork aspect. People will do the same shit they've always done.

A part of me just died inside.
Except I can't drive it away now even if I kill you on the front lines with my non-sniper recon/scout.

They had to remove planes from the runway because worthless players would camp them en masse. How's that for teamwork?

ya that could be but the problem isn't really the spawns its that people need to go camp up a mountain, I guess just add more ATV's or in this game , horses lol. bring on the horses! bicycles! Just play hardcore and shoot them I guess lol.

Go play battlefield 4. Go look at how much teamwork is going around. Oh right. Not much.

I think almost everybody in this thread has either not watched the video or completely misinterpreted what was said. Either that or I'm dumb.
He didn't explain himself very well, but he never said a word about any class being barred from any vehicle. He did say 'vehicle specific classes' but in the very next sentence, he says, "For example, if you spawn in a tank, you will be a tank driver."
Again, I really believe that this just boils down to not being allowed to ditch vehicles.

Who's to say that's not still there? What if they have decided to change the way people get vehicles but things on the ground can still be grabbed if vaccant. Until we hear directly from DICE or get a chance to play, we simply don't know.

I miss wing riding in bf1942 =(
Battlefield is all about jumping off a 5 meter tall roof using your parachute, riding on the wings of a bomber plane to drop off over the enemy base, putting a jeep full of TNT and driving it into an enemy AA gun, flipping a helicopter upon take off 50 times before you learn how to fly in desert combat and trying to drop bombs onto the enemy tank with your ww2 plane, only to get shot as the pilot and have your plane turn into a paper plane physics wise.
I also miss stunt clans from bf1942
If dice are really continuing with the battlefront reboot type of design then they've gone completely off the rails.
Um, you press square and hold it and you can get out of all the vehicles, some instantly.
Seriously. Half of these posters aren't even gonna play for more than a week (if that) and they think this is a good design decision.
Just fuck my shit up, DICE.
As I said in the other thread I hope the vehicular classes (let's say 'Driver' and 'Pilot') get exclusive driving access to their vehicles at the cost of have less equipment to other classes, such as just a pistol.
I think that's better than being locked inside of the vehicle.

Ah, my mistake, didn't play too much Battlefront, just assumed it was like that since I hadn't seen people land the ships.

This is true for all the battlefields honestly but most of us have found I am sure that it only takes like two to four dudes actually playing with teamwork, PTFO, to totally dominate a game.
I could go into a game with a team getting wasted with a couple friends and completely turn it around just by sticking together in our squad. and I'm not a pro player at all.
you can't ever eliminate those useless people doing god knows what but if you get into a decent squad it's worth the stay.

I haven't forgotten BF4, Jack Frags is an EA shill. Not surprised he has the news.
As for the topic, I think it's odd. Am I going to run up to a vehicle and encounter a red circle and slash because I don't have the required class? I think in some cases it's not going to me sense.
Yea it's clunky, they just blow up in the sky (it doesn't count as a death though) this will probably be similar to that.

So vehicles are essentially huge "characters" instead of, you know, vehicles? This somehow sounds even more stupid.

Maybe just at launch. Nowadays, I see jets ready for the taking on BF4 all the time.

Which was how Olimpia played conquest in some days.
Perfectly valid strategy if you know what you are doing

As a huge Battlefield fan, this is welcome news indeed.
It forces more character classes being picked and I'll have less worry or facing an entire team full of snipers. Especially on the larger maps.
Very smart move.

Eh you can get out of vehicles in battlefront.
But you cant obviously get back in again.

Seems good, as long as the vehicle classes can still get out of vehicles any time with a side arm or something.
See you on the battlefield in October

I've got a minimum of 150 hours on every Battlefield game since Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and I think it's a good decision.

you're part of the problem. wtf would you go in a tank as a sniper???????

Good. I love rigidly enforced roles and cannot stand games that allow players flexibility.
Because you can and the current situation makes it your best choice.

Not a fan.
Battlefront got pretty stale pretty quick, and the streamlining of the experience had a lot to do with it.
Planetside 2 handled this fairly well. Anyone could take a tank - but to make it a really effective one you would have to level it up. It meant that dedicated tank dudes got what they wanted, and schmoes like me got what they wanted.

Totally. If squad spawning is on, it's not going to discourage people from ditching planes behind enemy lines. All it does is nerf (I assume vehicle classes will have limited infantry power) for a very small window. Hell, even with just a pistol, it won't discourage them because they can just pick up another class/weapon on the field.
If they're implementing it like I think they are, it's just a giant boondoggle. I'm willing to be wrong though.

Umm...there are a number of us in here that disagrees with the idea who has a minimum of 400 hours on every Battlefield game since BF2.
That doesn't make our opinion any more or less valid than yours.

Another reason for me to ignore BF1. Sad day indeed.

You might want to reread what he quoted.
On top of that, I hope that entering a vehicle as another a class turns you into said pilot or driver. In BF4 your character model actually turns into a pilot suit if entering a jet and stays so even after ejecting
I'm not sure what this system is trying to do without knowing what the details are, but if its like that i'm totally fine with it

Not sure what you're getting at.
Post 1: "I've played a lot and I think it's great."
Post 2: "I've played a lot more and I think it's terrible. Playing a lot doesn't make me more or less right than you."

You are not allowed to turn the tide of battle if the opportunity presents itself! How DARE you, sniper?!
You shame yourself immediately!
I would be okay with that. DICE were still emphasizing "Battlefield moments" so I have a feeling that it'll still be possible to hop right in to a vehicle.
SirMossyBloke

No.
Post 1: people that are agreeing only play it for a week anyway
Post 2: I played for over 150 hours and I agree with it
Yours: stop saying your opinion is better than mine.
See?

If it keeps bad players out of biplanes, then I'm for it. If you want practice flying, play air superiority instead of costing your team a vehicle.
