Battlefield 3 Squad Spawning Details
In Battlefield 3, the squad members can only spawn on the squad leader, while the squad leader can spawn on any squad member. This seems to be the right way to do it, as Kertz points out: “it keeps pace up without tons of spawns”. One of the (minor) problems in Bad Company 2 was that any squad member could spawn on any squad member, meaning, for instance, one player camping behind enemy lines could spawn 3 additional squad mates.
The new system resembles a lot like Battlefield 2, where squad mates could only spawn on the squad leader, while the squad leader had to spawn at the spawn point. on the flip side, this led to a lot of “squad hopping”, whereby a player who died would hop to a squad with a leader closest to the action, and spawn on him. Squad hopping was later fixed in a patch.

hopefully they make it so that if the leader has stayed in one area for too long you can choose not to spawn on him.

Well atleast DICE listens to the community. If they see how bad the update will be, im pretty sure they will revert it back to spawn on anybody or the objective.

What if your squad leader is sniping nowhere near the objectives or is someone who dies a lot? At least we will be able to test this in the beta.

Yeah like what if your squad leader is one of those "Im a sniper" kids and is far away from the objective. I hope that you could be able to vote for a different member of the squad to be squad leader.

There was nothing wrong with the old way. Trying to fix something that was not broken in the first place.

Prefire It seems like a good idea if your squad leader is a serious gamer. But its also a bad idea that you cant join any member to help him get through sticky situations.. Idk about this one.
Completely agree.
Hope they revert this after beta.

I don't mind it actually. It may add a sense of responsibility to the game; your squadmates will have to rely on you to stay alive.
