Battlefield 3 Has A New Spawn Mechanic

For those of you who have Played Battlefield Bad Company 2, you may have become accustomed to the ability to spawn on any of your squadmates upon your untimely demise. Well Battlefield 3 is tweaking that mechanic in order to prevent spawn camping objectives and opposing bases. The new mechanic was described by senior gameplay designer Alan Kertz who reported it as a response on Twitter. The tweet said:

Squad Leaders can span on any squadmate, squad members can only spawn on the Leader.Keeps pace up without tons o spawns.

I like this concept of spawning more that the current one for multiple reasons. The first reason is that it makes more sense to only be able to spawn on the person with authority rather than everyone running wild as soon as your feet touch the dirt on a squadmate. It also gives you a reason to work as a team in order to keep the squad leader safe for a spawn point closer to your enemies objective. The second reason is that this can reduce the amount of spawn camping that is seen on the battlefield. What do you guys think? Is this a change for the better or does it make things worse?
