As the October 25 release date for the much anticipated Battlefield 3
creeps ever closer, more and more details continue to spill out. The
latest info comes directly from DICE's very own Alan Kertz. On his
twitter he stated:
"Squad Leaders can spawn on any squadmate, squad members can only spawn
on the Leader. Keeps pace up without tons o spawns."
This is slightly different from the system originally implemented in Bad
Company 2 in which players could spawn on anyone of their squad
members. A mere four months from now players will be able to decide for
themselves whether or not this new tweaked system is for the best.
