  Four classes, each with restricted loadouts to return to the franchise.
  
  Among the many shortcomings in Battlefield 2042, one in particular has stood out. No, I'm not talking about the bugs, nor the map design, nor the lack of maps, nor the lack of weapons, nor <insert anything from the laundry list of items here>. I am, of course, talking about the Specialists.
  
  Players have lamented the removal of the Battlefield staple of having distinct classes. With the Specialist...
