"7. The classes are designed to give a specific combat role to soldiers on the battlefield. This helps a few things: 1) makes enemies immediately recognizable, you see someone and you'll know what sort of bad things they'll be able to do to you 2) helps players understand their purpose a bit better. We'll have familiar classes like Medics, Engineers, Heavy Assault, Infiltrators, and MAXs. Each of these will have significant room to specialize and tailor to your playstyle"

I have been thinking of what is exactly meant with classes. Maybe what is meant with it is that when you pick a certain class, you are still free to take whatever loadout you want, but only the skills of your class will be activated or some kind of bonus to your class will be given. For example medic, if you choose this class when spawning, the points that you have invested in medic skills will be activated or that you will have some kind of bonus when healing/rezzing. It will probably also change your appearance slightly as Matt said "makes enemies immediately recognizable" (probably some big red cross with white background).
