Okay Dokey...
Currently TF2 has the Death Cam, where you see a screenshot of the enemy that killed you. Now what I thought would be cool if there was a KillCam like in CoD4. For those of you that don't know, you see the last 5 (?) or so seconds on the enemy that killed you from their view, 1st person. It can be skipped by pressing F or something. Now I was thinking how awesome it would to have this implemented in TF2. There's times where I've been sniped outta nowhere, or someone has got a backstab on me where I'm surrounded by teammates.
Now I'm not sure how this would work or even if it's possible in TF2 but it would be so cool to see how you were killed, to see that crazy sniper shot your enemy got, or how their Spy managed to dodge through your team to take you down. There could be an option to choose whether you see the DeathCam or the 1st Person KillCam? It could be disabled for league matches or turned off by server admins? Would be able to skip it as well if you couldn't care less how your opponent killed you at that particular time.
Some problems I thought about...
If your a Spy, the enemy might be able to gain an advantage by seeing how you sneaked up on them, or where you were hiding when you got stabbed. But then players normally check around them like crazy wherever they pass a place where they were backstabbed anyway. I already mentioned that this would probably be turned off for league play so no problems there...
Know we've got a lot of TF2 players here so thought I'd post it
