First-Person Spectating?
And I don't mean speccing from the viewpoint of one of the players. I mean, when speccing, you can play as a noplayerclipped, invisible character with adjustable stats (that is, adjustable sprint, maxspeed, etc. based on the available classes), one who is effectively a ghost. This would allow specs to for instance, play around the bases while not actually affecting anything. Also, it would relieve boredom to specs in a pug/scrim.
Of course, there is the possibility for abuse, by for instance finding and revealing flaws in a base, but that can be done already as spec, so it shouldn't really matter.
Eventually, functionality such as weapons (nades, rockets, SLAMs) and other such things could be added, so that explosion trickjumping could also be practiced while spectating. I'm not completely sure this is possible (well, considering the Source engine it should be possible, but I meant more "realistic"), but it would be a nice feature to have.
This sounds to me like it would be a lot more fun in the 1.9.x series, but considering it's something almost completely new, probably would be best left for 2.0.0 rather than 1.9.4.2, lest we be forced to have another bug fix.
