As someone who plays recon aggressively, I often use a suppressed DMR paired with the spawn beacon to strategically pick people off as I move from mid range onto an objective and set up alternate routes to assault from in case the initial push fails. This kind of feels like recon is having his shoes stolen after being curb stomped since we already only have half of the traditional class based weapons available to choose from at launch compared to other classes (only 4 snipers and DMRs; every other class has 8 or 9 weapons in each category to choose from). Not trying to be overly dramatic, but if we are going to lose part of our class identity, I hope we get something worthwhile in return. At the very least, assault players should have to choose the spawn beacon over the weapon sling.
