In Call of Duty 2 team deathmatch you respawn next to someone in your team, and I've noticed people play together in a team much more than they do in Battlefield 2, which is sad considering BF2 is all supposed to be about teamplay. The respawning near your squad leader idea is good, but especially now they've stopped you from rotating leaders, squads are much less useful. You should be able to spawn next to any player in your squad. Less realistic? Who cares, it'll be more fun. (And besides respawning next to your leader isn't exactly realistic either.)
