I'm against it...
When you apply further thought to it, you must ask yourself the question of where the drop pods go when they land, and what if they block passages that further your progression? With that much animation and memory applied to what could be a simple respawn, would it be worth it? What happens if you land on one of your teammates? What happens if you drop in front of a chieftain or hunters? With such an animation, what glitches are bound to happen?
In all honesty, it sounds theoretically good, but if it were to be actually implemented, it could catastrophically alter game play for the worse...
