Give the Spawn Beacon back to the Recon
The Assault having the beacon doesn't feel right. "Ahhhh campers" yeah I camp but I'm sitting in the capture zone when I do it, not on mountain. I'll lay down a TUG and use the Drone. I would set up ...

I don't find a need for the Spawn Beacon when I'm on Recon. I am the beacon. I'll put myself off to the side of a capture point and lay down in cover when I'm using drone or designator, then when I'm out of those I go in with TUG and sensor ball. I feel like I get the most out of the kit, but I never run a sniper rifle.
I think Spawn Beacon does belong on Assault, but as the class gadget. The push forward, forward spawn point(our Assault player is usually in combat, so can't spawn on him).
Having said that, maybe Recon should have a different/similar gadget, like Tent. A one-use camping tool. I feel like it needs some limitation though, to stop the toxic level camping everyone hates. And that range finder needs to be yeeted to stop snipers one-shotting at any range with little effort.
Actually I think the classes need a rework :)
You hit the nail on head. Everyone becomes a "Spawn beacon" once out-of-combat. Most players don't pay attention at all when they are the last member of the team alive and, instead of staying prone in the corner waiting teammates to respawn, they die silly by rushing and whole team needs to take the walk.
I play Recon as my main and I completely disagree with these fanboy wishes that he needs to have the Beacon back.
If you play the sniper class, i.e. camping afar from the real action, the spawn beacon is meaningless and 99% players will use it selfishly. Also, it takes only few seconds to pause and stay out of combat.
If you play behind the enemy lines or right in the mix of it, you will probably use the Spec Ops route that gives you 1.5 seconds earlier out-of-combat.
I don't mind Assault having the beacon. At least it will be somewhat closer to the objectives.. Also, the whole Assault class is currently a bit lacklustre...
Bla bla rubbish talk from someone that leis saying he is a sniper player. I won more matches position as a sniper in previous titles then dump players position beacon 1 meter in front the objective. And once more i gonna say that only players that are having or at least huge amount finishing the beacon assignments are reacon players that got a gadget yet again stolen like in bf4 the c4
