An open beta for the upcoming Battlefield game has been confirmed, with details shared via a tweet from Battlefield’s official Twitter account. The open beta will allow players to choose between official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to classes or not. DICE previously announced an intention to make all weapons accessible to all classes, which received a negative reaction from fans. DICE has now confirmed that while players will be encouraged to use class-specific weapons, they will not be forced to do so. This reflects ongoing fan concerns about maintaining traditional gameplay elements.
"Open Weapons vs Closed Weapons. Why not both? Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or not. More to come."
"DICE first revealed its intention to make all weapons available to all classes back in May. The reaction from longtime fans was immediately negative."
"DICE returned earlier this month to confirm all those players' worst fears - that it's sticking with its original intention. While the game will incentivise players to stick to their class' assigned weapons - dubbed Signature Weapons - they won't be forced to do so."
"The tweet is the first acknowledgement that there's a major desire from fans for Battlefield to stick to, well, what made it great for decades - and class limitations and co-dependency."
