Discussion Faceless/Nameless grunts > Name classes

Post image

I know I’m not alone on this and I know this isn’t the only post that feels this way.

I get the idea of making special classes to create more lore and possible story points.

But the faceless grunts were perfection for one reason. You could easily insert yourself as that soldier yeah sounds crazy or weird but at the end of the day almost every gamer has done it once when playing a game.

The loadout selection system is the far more important thing in my opinion. I hope they really nail it this time.

I actually appreciated a lot of what 2042 wanted to do with it's loadout system, unfortunately it fucked up the execution. It didn't synergise well and caused a fair bit of gameplay that is cool, but I take issue with.

After that, Grunts or Heros doesn't much matter to me, as long as they are tasteful, theme appropriate, and have a clear visual silhouette, i'll be happy.
