Option suggestion: Disable "death cam"

I'm still rather new to the game and forums so if this is already in the game or if it's already been suggested and I've somehow missed it then my apologies for sleeping in class. Otherwise, read on:


I'd like an option to turn off the "death cam" - for lack of a better word. When you get killed the camera will scroll over to where you died to show where it happened. This is nice for new players who might not be sure what just happened and just for the effect of it.

However for my own part, and I guess many others, when I die I'm always perfectly aware of where it happened, who killed me and why it happened (I messed up). I then use this unintentional break to get an overview of the map to see where I should focus my effort next once I spawn. Then I find it is getting a bit on my nerves that the "death cam" interrupts my scrolling to focus back where I died.

An option to disabled it would let the newer players see what happened if they weren't aware and help them learn from their mistakes and let more experienced players scroll the map uninterrupted.

No no, you see, it's part of the penalty for dying. Removing the death cam would be like rewarding bad players!

I wouldn't mind the death cam half as much if it didn't jerk my camera around wildly. Having the option to turn it off would be great.
