Default 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.

this is almost identical to !redie in css, i think it would be cooler if you had a white translucent model, so you looked like a ghost

Heh, I like the idea. Especially the ghosts thing, although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe the if the spectators could see each other, but the normal players couldn't see the spectators.

Anyways, the main ting is making sure you only clip with frozen blocks, and that the conc nades/rockets only affect the player. Otherwise you could easily disrupt the game. It'd be quite cool to have a toggle to allow them to fly, too.

Rush, the whole point of the board is to have one idea per thread, otherwise we'd just have an ideas thread in another forum. I don't really have a problem with Azlan making lots of threads, it would just be nice if he thought them through first.
