Okay so here is the idea
There should be a option for Admins to either select specific areas as spawn points with some item or something
or
there should be an option for random spawn, heres how i see that working: you cant spawn in rad area other ppls structures and water, but besides those things you can spawn anywhere
i think these options would be extremely helpful on battlefield servers i particullar :)
so lets have a poll again what do you guys think?
The game used to work randomly, but the devs moved it to certain areas. There were great fears that the beaches would become hideous sniper killzones but in practice that turned out to be rare. The defined areas meant you got familiar with part of the map early on, and it made initial travel more rewarding, since it got you away from "newb beach".
The current system has randomness, but in a more confined area. Not sure if the plan is to tie admin control to objects or if that will become part of building your own map.
Personally, I was leery about the current approach when it first went in, but it seems to work and adds character to the game. It's grown on me.

They can install mods for that, then. They'd probably be using other mods if it was a battlefield server, anyway. Those typically come with kits.

Im no game dev. but making this feature seems like it would be pretty easy on their end ? like making an item that sets spawn points. or just making random spawn.. they all ready have code for sleeping bags so this shouldent be to much work, correct me if im wrong :)
I run battlefield servers but do need to change the spawn on Hapis. When the server hit 100 the spawn killing is unreal. Just find a server without Hapis and check if you always spawn on the beach. (Maybe speak to the server owner of the server you play in)

They already had random respawn once. They didn't want it that way. So they removed it. It's not a question of whether they CAN do it at all. Just use a mod.
