You cant hardwire anything as an engineer anymore, or rewire things to fix power. Wires were removed. Generators were removed. Things like electrified grills. Atmos etc.
You cant really build much of anything as a squad engineer but cades, and that is boooooring as fuck which is why no one does/wants to anymore.
For doctor, all the difficult things are gone. No more infections, necro, etc. Lung surgeries require a single autoinjector that we dont even have to make anymore. In fact, most doctoring nowadays seems to be stuffing people into the autodocs. Its mindlessly repetitive and boring.
Ce and mts have NOTHING to do but load the OB and start the generator. Its a meme role.
All of the changes above have been to reduce lag and some of them good. But its at the expense of anything that made the role interesting.
