    You know how whenever you win or die on Fps-Hg, you get connected to the lobby? And that moderators don't? When a mod dies, they get to fly around and watch the game. Im not saying that this should be removed, but I think everyone should get a chance to try this. When you request to connect to a Fps-Hg game that is running, it doesn't work. I think that when you do, you get to watch the game! When normal players die, I think they should still just get connected to the lobby. Although it's their choice to rejoin and watch.

    Details- Spectating for players shouldn't be different then how it is for moderators. While spectating, your invisible and can fly. Your speed is also increased. You should also be able to teleport to a specific player when desired. And while spectating, you should not be able to chat unless you are a staff. Thanks for reading and I hope this is considered! ~Serine1002

    Normal players might abuse this and help their teammates out by spectating. This is why this has not been implemented. I don't like the sound of this because of how easily it can be abused.

    Hmmm, you should not be able to chat while spectating either.

    Doesn't stop them from being in TS and giving away enemy locations.

    That would be an improvement, but all someone would have to do is be on TeamSpeak or skype to abuse this.
    Nue, the ninja is strong with this one. >:V

    We could possibly use the 1.8 spectating feature.

    You would still have the same problem when teammates are in a live conversation with eachother.

    This would be cool, but yes, there would be too many people who would abuse this ability. I think it should just be limited to the moderators and above. Also, if I remember correctly, moderators are actually able to hit players whilst spectating, and coding this out for only normal members would be a pain.

    The thing is, normal players don't need this feature. Moderators do to keep an eye on things! :wink:

    I could tell you what guns they have, armor, if they're worth challenging, etc.

    I say this from experience.

    I am extremely happy that only moderators get access to spectating.

    1) At the moment, anybody who spectates is in creative, and has the power to hurt and kill players that are playing the game. For example, you can pull a barret and ammo from creative, and shoot a player with one of them that's still in the game, killing them. This is why only moderators are trusted with this privilege.

    2) It would give players too much of an advantage because of this reason:

    Argh... The main reason I play FpsHG is because it is rager free. Adding spectating will destroy this harmony. I don't agree with this, sorry.

    You should definitely change that part atleast. Currently, you can cheat items into the game, kill players and so on while spectating. Thats also the reason why only Moderators have access to it.
