Battlefield Labs Lists Class Specializations Which Has 4 Levels
[summaraize]
While Battlefield Labs isn’t the final name of the new Battlefield game in development, the game client being used for testing is an early representation of the in-development Battlefield. Sure, the graphics and audio work aren’t finished, and there’s a bunch of stuff that needs to be worked on, but it does give us a broad look at the game and its core mechanics.
One returning feature is class specializations or otherwise known as Field Upgrades in Battlefield 4. For those unaware, these are in-game character bonuses that are triggered by chaining points, not dying. These are perks for each alss that offer squad benefits.
This feature seems to be back for the new Battlefield, and there will be four levels to each kind of class specialization.

I’m easily cautious about anything BF related… After the last game was basically a mobile shooter and ruined every aspect of the series, can you blame those of us who are afraid of what this one will turn out like?
