what happened to death cam discussion?

was there ever a decision on disabling death cam? headshotting someone to just have the camera pan straight to your position is stupid, without a better way to describe it. did it just not come to the point where people wanted to disable it, or was it not even possible? no matter how you cut it, this feature is not in line with reality.

even if you tag someone and they take a critical hit, the camera won't pan to the shooter, so arguing that it allows for squadmates to hear the guy's last words is null- *coughing blood* "he's on the third floor behind the ramp, next to the square thing near the... tell my family that i'll respawn in 8, on squad lead."

it's only on killing blows, so accurate hits be damned. worst yet, is tagging an insurgent who has access to 25 spawn cars parked above, next to and below you who's about to spawn in with an army of rpg gunners and one guy on a dirtbike. i, for one, say take it off if possible.

I've never seen a sniper in the death cam... It's usually the player that's just shot you close up that runs into to swipe your kit that gets to star on Death Cam TV.
