Please Revert/Remove the Insertion Beacon Spawn Limit!

For the love of BF, please stop messing with the insertion beacon! It’s now so useless! DICE I am so angry about decisions like that to nerf something you’ve already nerfed twice! NONE of which sh...

The current state is basically how spawn beacons were in all the BF games I played since BF3.

I assume they did that because now every recon player will have a beacon by default.

I use the beacon all the time and have no issue with the changes.
I don't understand how (4) spawns is even remotely an issue. It's a free gadget, just replace it when you spawn.
Squadmates are unlikely to 'consume' it, because since when do squads stick together? If they are sticking together then they are just as likely spawning on each other. Even if the beacon did get consumed you're likely to have squadmates in the area available to spawn on.
Honestly I think it needs a further nerf. Needs some restrictions on where it can be placed. Also it needs a louder audio cue.

@UP_Hawxxeye No, in BF4 the spawn beacon stayed indefinitely.
The following situations removed it:
Spawn beacon took damage (shot at, run over, exploded, knifed)
The player that deployed it, deployed a new spawn beacon
The owner spawned on it without a spawn beacon in the loadout (eg. a different class kit)

In my opinion it worked the same in Hardline and BFV.

  @kregoraI am quite sure that the beacon expired in BFV as I was getting annoyed by others depleting my beacon

    @UP_Hawxxeye Maybe they changed the behavior after I stopped playing BFV. I stopped playing with the announcement that DICE pulled the developers for the new Battlefield game, which turned out to become BF2042.
