Suggestion Title: Disable TeamSpeak/prevent equipping weapons w/ phone camera
Suggestion Description: With the new phone camera update, I have seen at least one message in shoutbox that gives me me concern with regards to how this may be abused in combat/PvP situations, particularly if using the seelfie mode with 0.5x zoom.
I suggest that while you have your phone equipped with the camera app active, the following should be implemented:
- Unable to equip a weapon
- Unable to join TeamSpeak, or if currently in a TeamSpeak channel you get disconnected
Additionally, for the selfie mode of the camera, the minimum zoom should potentially be locked to 1x to prevent the potential info garnered from being too egregious.
Why should this be added?:
- Prevents people from using selfie mode at x0.5 zoom to get info on peek corners and relay info via TeamSpeak
- Prevents people from running with a gun out and being able to look behind them for any potential assailants, being able to quickly do a 360 and engage in combat with them
What negatives could this have?:
- Additional development time to make changes to an already released product
- People might say this sucks some of the potential 'fun' out of the new camera app
What problem would this suggestion solve?: People using this new feature to gain an unfair/unrealistic advantage during combat. This is especially important considering there is no easy way to tell if someone is on their camera app without seeing the phone screen.
