tbh it didnt change the face of combat and how obj. were approached. Even before this patch it didnt play out too well.
whats wrong about the proficiency concept?! Some char skill elements arent a bad idea, and it also gives an accent on classes. Having objectives nobody can do, also leads to question the existence of a class, because there was only an objective for assault and engineer.
There wasnt an objective for medic fops or covops to tell you the truth!
Even classes come back as we know it from older builds and games. There is still the problem that recon has no “master” objective as well as fops or assault (despite c4 plant) medic has a major task to heal members, thats pretty already a big deal.
The old style makes more sense if there is gonna be an obj for recon, then one for fops then one engineer, or combine two class obj to force certain team constellations. But then the freedom to choose any class in any situation is gone again.
It is rather a question of how much room you give a player to decide? Actually this has not really to do with classes (cause they are still there, there are no universal chars or sth like that)
An objective for one class only takes your decision to pick a certain class, certain situations are predetermined.
Overall it isnt too bad. But I have the feeling that one big objective is too less for 5 classes.
There should be stuff like on London Bridge:
GI Research Steal intel: Engineer can activate once emergency mode on some console -> triggers shut door mechanism. Once activated front doors are closed, and can be c4’d by attackers. once door is broken its simply broken.
Alternative: Engineer activates emergency mode -> either activates some self-defense mode-multiple turrets or electricity covers the objective-> makes it harder to pick it up.
Engineers ability to sabotage ev for 20 seconds.
I try to say no matter whether main objectives are global. there must be still some optional objectives that can be done by one sort of class; There could be several in every map for every section because it still feels there is too less to do for 5 classes tbh.
