Hele balancen i Battlefield-serien er konstrueret omkring særlige karakterklasser, som kan udføre specielle opgaver på slagmarken, lige fra at reparere kampvogne til at genoplive faldne kammerater. Der er en række i det kommende Battlefield V, men for første gang kunne det meget vel være at DICE tilføjer ekstra efter udgivelsen.
For nylig deltog producer David Sirland i en Q&A på Reddit, og her fortalte han, at det efter al sandsynlighed vil ske.
"Combat Roles is less limiting from a load out perspective, yes - and more about deepening the effectiveness of certain play styles. This change and some of this rationale for launch comes from us knowing that most players pick a class based on the primary weapon class - which limits the usage of some of the previous archetypes severely."
"The initial Combat roles cover the basic playstyles of the launch package, and we will expand on this over time through our live service. We will also most likely still do more specialized classes and combat roles over time (yes, new/more classes!) - similar to that originally outlined stealth weapon hybrid referenced by you and others."
