I've set it up to possess a random nearby friendly NPC. This seems to work better than static spawn points as the NPCs are usually closer to the action. I don't think the camera transition is great though and could probably use something better?

Tagging this NSFW because its got a lot of blood and stuff.

Something where the camera jumps from person to person? Or something where it briefly transitions to a map overview like Battlefield 1?

I think that honestly depends on the maps! I'd probably implement it so you can smoothly interpolate between completely square movement & half circle movement with the apex at a configurable height, and then play around with it.
