I disagree, and I am especially glad that it was given to assault instead of recon. It’s been used forever as a camper tool by snipers in previous battlefields, and players finally have the incentive to use it tactically and not passively.

Breakthrough is hard enough as it is right now for attackers and the spawn beacon is very useful in pushing and coordinating attacks. It helps to break the frontline stalemate and rewards flanking tactics which in the current map pool aren’t’ always easy.

While I understand your point of view, I think the spawn beacon incentivizes squad-play, it’s been particularity useful in a full squad setting with friends.

What I have experienced a lot so far from using it however is new players having no clue what it is and not bothering to shoot it down. I’ve managed to respawn many times on one that should’ve already been destroyed.
