D.I.Y spawn points???

Battlefield 3 has made some changes to the way spawning works, for instance instead of being able to spawn off any member of the squad you can now only spawn on the squad leader.

Dice mentioned that they would be developing a new addition to the spawning system to help players who couldn't get into a squad or if the squad leader wasn't on the Battlefield, however they never mentioned what this addition would be.

Dice's Gameplay Designer, Gustav Halling may have revealed this new addition via twitter;

“…play as recon and put out a radio beacon to spawn on.....Free choice for everyone!”

It appears that this radio beacon will act as a portable spawn point that can be put down by the Recon class and will allow the whole squad to spawn on it as opposed to going all the way back to base.

a tactical insertion that other people can spawn on

That. Is. Kinda. Cool.

multiman tactical insertion let the badly placed spawn points get us spawn killed

lol i forget ur a battlefield newb :P u choose your spawn points in battlefield and bfbc games :P

is it like invasion on HALO where you scroll though a list of places

Yeah I think it is.

well what it is:

BFBC2: during rush games you spawn on team mates or base, you choose who or where.
conquest(domination) you can spawn on the flags that your team own, or a team mate, or base

bf3: you can only spawn on squad leader, apparently the DIY spawn point (although this is not confirmed) or the base. and i presume its the same spawn system for conquest as bfbc2

sounds interesting

I hope these Recon people dont throw these spawn points half a mile away from the battlefield lol
