It is going to change the way the game is played, but for the better. People will need to be more strategic with uplink placement, and logis will be needed more.
Indeed.

Eve Online players have to deal with bandwidth as well for operating their drones. It's an old concept that is brought into Dust to eliminate the spamming of equipment. I hate seeing equipment spammed around supply depots, spammed all over a city, and stupidly placed in a random spot without thinking it through.
This bandwidth feature will force players to finally think carefully on where to place their equipment, get rid of equipment spam is ruining frame rates, and give logis a stronger role due to their inherent bandwidth advantage over all other suits. This will also ensure that scouts no longer dominate as light-logis. Staying in a logistics dropsuit in order to prevent uplinks from disappearing is complete bogus. Being a support role and being a combat role just became mutually exclusive. What if I'm the only person on the team who has the strategic insight to set uplinks. What if I'm also the only person on the team who has any gun game. Historically, I have been able to satisfy both needs in a single match and steer my team back to victory. In the future, if I get stuck with a useless team, I am being disempowered to rectify my team's imbroglio.
Ultimately, that's a fault in teamwork. A man is a part of a team, he cannot be a team.
Thats the issue w/ it before. A single man could spawn a logi, drop equipment, then switch to a heavy or assault and then wreck the opposing team. Not Teamwork.
Support and Combat won't be mutually exclusive. Just because you lack the foresight to fit the equipment you want on your suit doesn't mean that this sin't a good idea. I run w/ hives or needles on my assault. I compromised, but it worked. And it still will. You wont play one man bandstand, but you can still have the capacity to provide support.

I have foresight, and I expect to rebuild all of my fittings following bandwidth. I'm a dandy planner and investigate the details. My only complaint is that if being stuck on a worthless team sucks now, god it's going to be hell subsequent to bandwidth.
Its hell Now.
No amount of hives or uplinks will negate the fact that you have a **** team. No amount of WP farming will negate that. Its just an abuse of a gap in the design to get the WP of a logi with the KD of a heavy.
