"Be a class above," goes the tagline of Battlefield 2042's new season. Just a month ago, that sentiment would have been salt in the wound. By that point, longtime players had suffered through more than a year of DICE's disastrous Specialist system, which smashed apart Battlefield's traditional, fixed roles in favour of COD-style open customisation.
