SL spawn-point locker

[Beaufort]

Hello,

I think the (public) squad would benefit a lot if the leader had the chance to lock his spawn-point from time to time... What do you think ? If you agree, can it be done without too much work ?

err why would he want to lock his spawn point???
If the SL is laying down then then spawn laying down. If I'm about to die I just say don't spawn over mic/chat. People would probably lock their spawn, and forget to unlock it again.

Agreed. I play most of time as SL and there really is some sensitive situations where I would rather act alone for moment. For example, trying to crawl over open terrain with very little cover, it's bit bad thing if someone spawns on me and starts running around. Or even if he stays low, he will anyway be on standing position for millisecond and so exposing both of us. Ofcourse I always say about it, but there are always people who don't listen or read chat.

But I think this feature should be with timer. It would prevent idiots from keeping their spawnpoint always locked.

If this feature is put into place, than there should be a notification that it is on somewhere, if possible

[VonMudra]

Good suggestion.  Donno if its possible, but I like the idea.

  I hate it and I want all involved in this discussion rounded up and shot.

Well you have the same thing in BF2142.
You can unlock something that locks your SL spawn point.
It's cool to keep the enemy pinned and your squad spawning in cover but there will always be some idiots that will just screw around with it.

But il give ya a +

Sorry, but your country of residence has had a uprising by the proletariat, and they call for this suggestion to be implemented if possible. You are to be exiled or killed if you do not wish to take part in this.

No thats a SL beacon, wich allows people to deploy on the position, but it indeed prevents from spawning on the SL

I always thought that was a nice balance

Yeah, but not too big. Maybe the lock would look blue instead of red (when you are wounded), or something like that... As for the timer, I realy dont see how someone dumb enough to forget his lock for an entire round would have the mind to put it on in the first place, so imo there is no need to make it that complicated. The lock would be used rarely and for dangerous conditions in which that kind of player never finds himself into.

[Desertfox]

Something small would be nice. Not a bad idea all in all.

SL has a responsibility. if people spawns on him and he doesn't like it, then don't be an SL; be a squad-member instead.

You didn't read thread, did you? There are some valid points why this is good idea.

The only thing I`d like to change in Squads is incerase the number of members from 6 to 8. Rest is ok. If you would lock your spawn, every single rifle would aim at you. What about sneaking Sl?: coward.
