I think there should be an option to make the dead person's camera completely black when dead, just like they have in some Counter Strike competitive matches.

The option "Fade-to-black" (sp? :P) is only on in a offline LAN event. I think it's a little bit over the top anyway. It's a good point to instant switch to your teamwork so you can't see mercs placing mines after you die. You should be able to see what your teammate sees, so you can't give him any help like having thermal vision while he's on a ceiling and telling where the mercs are using a third-party voice program.

speaking on that notion, i talked to alot of people who use vent, and they said they would stop using

such programs as teamspeak and ventrillo if the voice quality in game was very clear, and id say for the most part maybe Liquid 133 can back me up on this, it is pretty clear.

mics should always be activated ingame (if you don't use it, unplug it) so that hacking voip n stuff works and so that its more fun in lobby. but i can totally understand for a team to use third-party voip programs as it allows communication while looking for a game session, having a clanmate hop into your channel etc.

+1 for always-on mic.

Interesting idea about the always-on mike.

Compared with third party voice apps (MSN, Skype) its awful, but its clear enough to understand.

Well, it's still better than the one in CS:S, not mentioning CT.

what happens when both are dead at the same time?

What is wrong with third-party voice programs? People say they lag the game, but all UT3 clans use Ventrilo or TeamSpeak. The second problem with them is that people tend to give away stuff while being dead/ in spectator mode. This second thing can be countered very easy; make spectators to see the same thing the guy they are spectating sees: for merc this would be first person, for spy it would be a fixed third person cam.
