The recent patch shows some significant signs in various files that DICE is working on a respawn system for the squad and duo (yeah I know...) version of Firestorm.
- It is connected to a public event (location) so you have to go there and capture it
- Players get a message on their screen that Respawn is available
- "Squad Spawn" sounds like you just spawn like in regular multiplayer (so no advanced stuff like getting back into the game via an additional airdrop)
