I think the 2042 beta has shown us that we should always temper our expectations regardless of the amount of hype drummed up by marketing.

I was interested but after preordering BF5 I wasn't falling for any hype. It actually feels good not falling for that shit anymore. A lot of us said months ago that Specialists were going to ruin the team structure and looked what happen .

If you like the game good for you but this mockery is not what enticed me to play BF 10 yrs ago. Games evolving isn't a problem with me, but DICE are always doing unnecessary shit. Everything doesn't have to do something new or innovative, that mind set is what has plagued a lot of awesome series.

Devs everywhere seems to leave the awesome features they had in previous games to rot. Leaning and crouch running were awesome features in BF5 and now it's just poor like it never existed. I hope this game crashes and burns on launch so I can grab it for 30 bucks on Christmas.
