Is anyone else having wierd results from a SL beacon on the titan?  Now, if I deploy my beacon it will either not work, not show up, or (If I'm inside) spawn them on the outside.

Whatever happened to allowing people to spawn in without pods if the beacon was inside?

This hurts both attackers and defenders, as the attackers have to put it outside, and the defenders can't put theirs just outside the core.

Its been made this way in last patch.
And I think it kind of helps the attacking team.

It helps the attackers by NOT allowing them to insta-spawn on a beacon (rather than the flare-like announcement of the podding in), in out of the way places such as unsed corridors (like corridor 1 on assaulting corridor 4)?

I didn't see anything in the patch notes stating changes about the SL beacon (or can't recall them), and was wondering if I was just seriously bugged those times when I attempted to place the beacon.

What do you all think of it, if it's "working as intended"?  Do you like not being able to place the beacon inside a titan (as attacker OR defender) like before?

More likely to prevent people from spawning inside stuff or getting in to titan core. Getting to console 3 and 4 could be done without squad beacon.

Oh, I'm not claiming I use the beacon to glitch into behind the defenders.  In fact, there's nothing I like more than assaulting a well defended corridor normally.  But it really helps when I get shot from behind or grenaded by the never-ending grenade spam that I can have a beacon in a hidden place close to the action and I don't have to spend three times as long to get back into the action.

It's been made that way because it was possible to glitch inside things on the titan with it.  This is another representation of EA's laziness.  They can't be assed to fix it so they just change it.
