With five specialist already revealed and available for the Beta, the folks behind Battlefield 2042 are ready to lie the lid on the other half of the specialist classes. The video embedded below details the final five specialists: Navi Rao, Santiago “Dozer” Espinoza, Emma “Sundance” Rosier, Ji-Soo Paik and Constantin “Angel” Anghel. Specialists are inspired by Battlefield's traditional classes but each gets a "Specialty and Trait" to define their playstyle, and separate them from the rest of the pack. 

Speaking of that Beta, a few changes are immediately coming out of it from player feedback specifically for the Conquest mode on the Orbital map-, namely:

  • Increased the number of Tanks that you’ll experience on Orbital. It’s up from 4, to 8 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
  • Made changes to movement, adding strafe input to sliding, adding the ability to vault on moving objects, and toning down jump spamming.
  • A nearby Grenade Indicator has been added.
  • Entry and Exit animations are now shorter, with some being removed entirely.
  • Elevators have been fixed so that you see less funky behaviours with doors.

But loads more information was gathered and fine tuning undertaken, as detailed in the full blog write up about the Beta: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-what-we-learned-from-open-beta

Battlefield 2042 releases November 19th on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/X|S, and PC.
