How to turn off helmet camera in CoD MW2 spectator mode
Disable the head cam and save your eyeballs today.
So, you've started playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but sadly you've already been killed. You're in spectator mode while you wait to respawn and oh my gosh, what is that camera angle doing? If the helmet cam is doing your head in, you'll be glad to know that it's very easy to change.
Of course, loading times these days are so fast that you should never be in spectator mode for too long. But still, that head-mounted camera angle is enough to make anyone feel a bit woozy, so you'll want to change it sooner rather than later before you make a mess on the carpet.
Keep on reading, then, and we'll tell you how to disable the helmet cam in CoD MW2 spectator mode. It won't take you long, thankfully enough!

It really is that simple! Once that setting has changed, your spectator mode experience in the game will match the player's perspective rather than forcing you into their helmet cam for the ride of a lifetime.
