>Yeah you can't choose so far as i've seen.
Peculiar that this is the case.

>Kinda. I mostly started properly with battlefield 3.
Started there, too. Though only properly got into the meat of Battlefield with 4.

>I think carbines and shotguns aren't bound to a class.
That was the case since BF3 as well if I remember correctly. Battlefield 4 had the perfect system of making DMRs (worse snipers), Carbines (worse ARs) and shotguns (worse SMGs) be open for all clases, I'm using the word worse here figuratively to demonstrate why making those type of weapons open for everyone was fine, since those weapon types don't necessarily fit into a specific category.

>The class specific guns are buffed on their class. I don't get what the big deal is?
I just don't see the benefit other than appealing to non-Battlefield players, and like I said, it's a core aspect of the series where the players have limited weaponry depending on what class and role they choose during the match.

>I feel like it's only as much as COD as bf3 / bf4 are.
Do keep in mind a lot of my thoughts are based on what I see on video and not actual first-hand gameplay. It just looks to me like it's faster in the sense that your soldier is a superhuman able to do many things back to back without delay like a machine, it's all small things but for example: Battlefield 4's movement had weight to it, the animation was long enough during certain acts like throwing grenades, vaulting over obstacles etc, those little things added a lot to authenticity I find. Even the spam jumping while sprinting wasn't really that effective. In BF6 it looks twitchy and fast, that's where it feels closer to COD or those ultrafast BR games. It doesn't look as bad as those thankfully, but I do wish they just stuck with for example BF5's movement which is already pretty fast and not one-up that.
And when I mean COD I do in fact mean the older ones, not whatever the fuck is going on in the series recently. I guess I should just say Bf6 looks more arcade-y in general, without necessarily taking that from COD. Though we all know for a fact they make it more arcade-y specifically to steal away some of the COD playerbase.
I guess I put way too much emphasis on small details that made games like Battlefield 4 so great, but I honestly believe those little things are exactly what makes Battlefield as a franchise stand out from the sea of shitty online shooters out there.
