Spectating Only Living People?

[trianglpixl]

This is simple. I think that when spectating, it should not select dead players. This is irritating in gamemodes with long respawn times, since many people are dead at a time and it requires scrolling through a lot of dead players to find someone worth watching.

How do you guys think about this?

yes i hate trying to find a living guy when playing arena.

I wouldn't like this because when it shows a dead player, most of the time the enemy is near so i would be able to see the enemy and if he/she is camping so i know how to kill them but, of you wanted it could be a choice in options (which they don't have yet but they probably will soon)

This would be cheating because nobody on your team really is there.

Anyways, support.

How is it cheating? I use the camera aimed at them as a spy. Its not like im using aimbots or laser pointers. :3

I personally go both ways with this. Yes, there are times I despise this, but then again, I do kinda like it.

Id like there to be an option. I personally like it for arena, just because it allows me to see where enemies are using the dead bodies.

If you check out the new .76 changelog you will see there is a 1st person view for spectators. Maybe you can ask Ben to give you the option to turn spectating dead players on and off. Hopefully you can get him to change it before the release comes out.

Good luck!

What about this: When you are spectating, pressing left click moves you to the next player, does not matter if dead or not, and with right click, it takes you to the next player alive.

Honestly I'd like spectating and kill-cams to be removed entirely because they give dead people way more sensory information than a rotting brain should have. It'd be nicer to have it replaced with a fullscreen sized map of the area instead.
