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

Good. No more using vehicles as transport. I just want some decent tutorials, as otherwise I tend to jump in, die, apologise, and never bother with vehicles again.

Nobody knows because nobody has a fucking clue as to what actual changes have been made. Welcome to Conjecture: The Thread.

Less messy then. I agree.
Of course having big impressive moments in the game is fun for Youtube views but it's not how you play the game (well the franchise was not about this before).
Some are suggesting dynamic roles. it would be even better.
Now we just need more details or else... else we'll keep speculating in more or less crazy ways

Well I guess most of the people in this thread never liked Battlefield to begin with.

DICE should actively stop their games from being impressive from now on. I want to be 100% whelmed. No more, no less.

Sorry maybe I should've explain:
- imo it's not how you should play the game (trying to make the game look like a Mickael Bay movie or Just Cause which is more in the everything can be crazy types of games)
- it's not how I was playing (and enjoying) Battlefield 2
Skip the 3rd, tried the 4th and didn't like at all.
So yeah sorry maybe more my opinion than the community I guess.
Been playing BF since BF1942 on my PC.Chû Totoro;202868881 said:
Impressive moments were always part of the game through the use of FRAPS.
It's just that video game moments have gone mainstream because of YT. Also, a lot of the younger players today bring the play style of CoD into this game. BF is a team based game not a one man army game.

"Hey everyone! You shouldn't play Battlefield like a badass!"
I hated that game.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but as middle ground, what if they limit this change to the spawn area? Once vehicles leave the spawn they're open for everyone and fair game regardless of class.
I'm torn on the decision because I like the chaos, but if it in anyway helps the attack helicopter loaded with people from crashing on the first 20 seconds I'm all for it.

You might be in the minority, there.
Yeah, I remember it being popular.
Futuristic shooters are not my thing anymore. Not since Unreal.
I like modern or historic combat.
I think they should limit people who have piloted the aircraft to give others a chance to use it.
BF1943 had a spawn area that people use to crowd around. That sort of made fair game for everyone. BF4 made it so that you can spawn directly into the aircraft.
That's so dumb.

So ok maybe even more clear because "imo" is not enough.
I LIKE TO PLAY THE GAME THIS WAY BUT IF YOU DON'T THEN IT'S FINE.
Reading the news, it's just that if MP evolves in the way I like more then I'm happy. Else I won't threat DICE or anyone, don't worry. I'll just try the game and see how it is for me. So yeah I think the game is more enjoyable without people trying to do crazy things (I won't go to the point to link some Youtube videos, I'm sure you know a few Battlefield 4 Top 10).
At the end, speculation in the community and no way to please everyone for DICE. I may be in the minority but I used to know Battlefield for being the more serious franchise over CoD. That's why I have this in my mind (again maybe it changed and people want this so DICE will please the majority don't worry.. and I may like to play this way too one day).

That could work too. A server setting for this option would be nice. Allow the players to choose how they want to experience the game.

My bet is it will work the exact same way in Battlefield 1.
Especially if you have to choose a class beforehand.
Spawn directly into the vehicle, fight for a spawn point on it by mashing the button on the map screen. If you spawn as a pilot in a tank or plane, you are dedicated to that role. That literally means spawning into the vehicle, not getting into it on foot.

Dislike. And I play exclusively engineer, too.
Tanks and heavy vehicles are too valuable to not have access to using. I pick up abandoned vehicles all the time in BF4 and I'd hate to not have that opportunity as a different class.

BF2 managed to have more nuance in the classes while being more strategic and team focused without putting a restriction on vehicles.
Ever since then they have been cutting more. Making it less ambitious. BF3 and BF4 managed to retain at least some of its identity by maintaining the dynamic playing field with vehicles. It's another step back.

I'm unsure od thia change but we'll see how it works
Better keep your tank driver alive, then.

Do you think this means that the Tank driver won't be able to defend themselves?

I kinda like this a little.. At the very least, it's worth trying out.
And I'm sure if it works out poorly, it can always be patched and changed later.

Hopefully. It would encourage teamwork until they can get to a tank and dominate.

Yeah I don't see it either.

I'm happy about this personally, but I can see how people that are used to the old ways might not be. I wonder if there is a happy medium?
I agree with the posters that like it as far as "why the heck did the sniper steal the only vehicle just to run away with it?". I also hated how people would be more concerned with grabbing vehicles than helping with the objective- it'll be interesting to see how this changes things. Fingers crossed for the overall better

Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure it'll only apply to some vehicles, so I expect everyone can use horses and whatever the APC equivalent is.
Stopping snipers from robbing the aircraft to get to some obscure inaccessible rooftop is worth it.

Undecided here, need further info. Had a lot of fun in BF4 chipping away at tanks until the driver panicked and bailed out, then swiping it and running them over. I'd be pretty bummed if that were off the table.
