It was a bit chaotic yesterday on Teamspeak (with easily 30 people in the main channel between rounds) when this was brought up briefly, so I wanted to get clarification on Server Settings being used in Pure Battlefield CONQUEST.

Specifically, this is addressing "ONLY SQUAD LEADER SPAWN." Currently the setting for the server is set as "ON," which of course indicates that players can spawn in on their squad leader only, and if the squad leader dies, you're stuck spawning back at a capped point or uncap until your squad leader decides to spawn in on one of you (his or her choice).

This differs from the default BF3 setting as well as PURE's server settings, where spawn was allowed on any player by any player.

I was just curious why this change was made in regards to the server settings, as it seems (at least from the outside) that all other server settings remained the same in the transition.

As a side, I was comparing our server settings to Official Servers and saw that this was one of the few (basically only) setting that differed. Now while I am definitely not advocating that PURE Battlefield becomes an Official Server (since that would remove the ability for Admins to move, kick, or ban players based on the BF4 PC Server Administration document), but I was curious if this setting would impact Official Status. Anyway, surprisingly it doesn't; any server can change vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn. But, in terms of the Value for Normal Server settings, that is typically set as False, while Hardcore default is True.

Anyway, thank you all in advance for your time, and as always I sincerely appreciate the time, money, and effort you put into running the servers.
