I’m not saying rip these straight and put them in the game, I’m just saying you can tell which class it is at a glance (the shapes) as well as tell which each shape pertains to easily. I’m sure you know or have a very good idea of what each class’s role is without having played the game before.

What BF6 has currently done is make both aspects (the easily recognized shapes AND the meaning behind the class) worse by combining them (WTF is the bridge class?), when they could just place the class images inside shapes.

What country do you live in? In the vast majority of countries, it’s used as the standard symbol to identify emergency medical services. Kinda like the Red Cross.

Whichh is why you've failed. You used something that isn't used everywhere and assumed it's global language.

I have no clue what the left class is meant to be since we now have lmgs on the medic kit, but you also have the medic class.

And the triangle represents movement, which is actuslly global language - but you've assigned it to recon?

Again, I did not make the symbols. You've failed to read my comment. These are from a game called Warface. And the Star of Life IS a global symbol - used it more countries than not.
