Started the beta test this last weekend and it's looking very impressive at this stage.
It's only occurred once in a long weekend wasted :-/ (or well spent testing I prefer to look at it, lol) but I selected to spawn at 'B' inside the complex in the South and rather than appearing as usual in the corridor off the room with the console, I spawned on the roof of the tower where there are 2 turrets and a few spikes/chimney type structures and 4 or 5 of my team mates, we all had a look over the edge n decided it was a bit of a long way down, then I think the map ended shortly after that.
Has anyone else noticed this glitch ?
Most of the other issues I've noticed seem to have been pretty well covered through these forums, including the console crashing, vehicles dropping continuously, overhead names not displaying at times, etc. I'm sure they're working on solutions as and when. |

Is it possible that you spawned from a drop uplink instead of the standard B spawn point? I've put drop uplinks ontop of that tower before to create an overwatch perch for people. |

Ahh that could explain it, although how could I distinguish the difference between the 'B' and the drop uplink when selecting from the respawn map if the 2 were on top of each other ?
Should there maybe be a minimum distance in the horizontal plane between spawn options, effectively stopping you using a drop uplink right next to an objective and making it clearer which you are selecting to spawn at. |

Visually, you wouldn't be able to if they were very close to each other. Depending on the meta level of the drop uplink you would be able to tell by how long it took you to spawn after selecting your location. |

Maybe there could be a different icon shown on the spawn map indicating multiple options, and when you hover over it, it could expand out to show the options to spawn at 'B' or spawn at the uplink on the roof. I'm sure this could be more of a problem when maps get bigger and more complicated, you could have a multi story building with uplinks on the roof and a middle floor. |

Yeah, I agree that there should be a way to differentiate between the two visually. |
