Give spawn beacon back to recon?
I feel like "assault" didnt really have a important function because its based on just getting kills and pushing forward which arguably any class can do, just without the extra weapon and stims. So t...

You must be dumb to think this is a good change. Recon has 0 utility now apart from spotting. That just makes the entire class completely obsolete.
You must be dumb to think that recons care about squad help. All they do is camp in the back with their beacon. Even Dice saw this problem, why can't you?
knuckl3dragger if its such a useless class wouldnt taking spawn beacon away make it more useless? Do you think reacons have been MORE useful without the beacon? Or are they equally campy? Just harder for them to do so out of spite.
Spawn beacons can be a very powerful asset for the squad if used properly. When a sniper is sitting in the back of the map camping, how is his use of a spawn beacon useful to the squad?
The answer is, it isn't.
I'm not saying I haven't enjoyed sniping myself but the reality is the beacon is being abused by the majority of players that only care about playing solo
knuckl3dragger I agree, that kind of campy play is useless. So youre saying the MAJORITY of reacons played that way with the beacon, and that its more useful with the assault class? I think thats where we disagree.
My logic is reacons will just be even more useless now AND the beacon will just not be used/used badly OR abused in new ways. Ultimately I think this is a cheap way to give assault a function because the class really does suck. Ive been playing assault for like a month so I can understand and write about it soon.
My question to you was has this change made reacons more useful in peoples eyes and I think the answer is no. Atleast they still have spotting which noone really respects (all anyone wants is painting vics lol)
