I believe that was the system for Battlefield: Bad Company as well since I could usually spawn on the squad leader only. I think this system will force players to be more stealthy and will also make sure players aren't reckless. However, I think I prefer the system from Bad Company 2 since it gives tactical advantages. Additionally, if the squad leader is dead, then everyone else on that squad has to move out therefore hindering the ability to keep a stong frontline.
