currently its is hard to tell if a person is dead or not. and sometimes you need to check by using team chat, but what if you could examine the body and have a message appear saying that he is either wounded or dead because it would help.
also if a person is dead and has a hat kit why not be able to destroy kits by either burning them with incendiary or knifing the kit so it will disappear and others can request back at fobs.
When i am wounded it is sometime hard to tell where i am so why not be able to move the camera around when wounded so you can see a medic approaching or enemy and help them.
Final thought is that i think field dressing only ads more health, how about making it so that it stops bleeding for 5 min although you can hear it, you will not continue to lose health or have a red haze on screen, so when you take out field dressing, left kit drops dressing, right click does a little animation for 5-15 seconds to stop bleeding which again is 5 min before blood some through the bandages and you have to apply a new one or get medic
It would be ashame if it is hard coded but i think these are good ideas, i want to hear from the devs and also from other forum users.

I've noticed that when someone is revivable their eye's are open, and if their eye's are closed they arn't revivable. Don't know if its a coincidence or actually something meant to be in. Plus its kind of difficult to check the eyes if the person died face down. Also if you're a medic and the person has been calling out, there should be a thing on your map + a little thing saying their name above their body.

It's to represent your combat ineffectiveness, therefore it is required that you dont see anything, or barely little

my post is a little different from what you are talking about, but it would be a nice implement because bodies are usually face down plus it would be nice for a wounded soldier to watch a doorway until medic arrived to watch so he can do something

Drop a patch on him before you stab him with your Epipen. It acts as a super resusitate (sp?) and when they're revived they have no black and white screen + can sprint/jump

Personally I think it would be creepy to have bodies with their head looking around.

It would be good if when you are wounded you can use a pistol from the ground and look around with limited view.

Too much COD eh??

no seriously now, I like the idea of looking around, but AFAIK its hardcoded. (NO PISTOLS!)

This is mostly hardcoded or difficult to make work in the BF2 engine.
We've talked about this before. Since this is a hard topic to put a name on and search for I'm not going to yell at you for that.
Locked.
