It's somewhat depressing to be forced to watch your character be mangled repeatedly in pretty much the same fashion. To mix things up a bit, I'd suggest reversing the viewpoint and allow players the choice of either enjoying their character's being butchered horribly, or their next spawn being outfitted for war. Making the option for both may give a poetic sense of coming vengeance as well.

Its the small things....

or you could have the equipment choice overlaying the scene of your murder...for that extra anger

Better yet, have the artwork of all your equipment be bloodstained and in tatters if you die repeatedly in a short amount of time.

Yay bloodstained ruins of good things
