He also states that due to this, first person view spectating would, apparently, be very hard to implement. So do not get your hopes up. But I would love to see it anyway.

Would be really a hard kidney shot for a FPS without first person demo view. I mean who wants to see a third person FPS. _________________ New to Tribes CTF?

FIRST PERSON SPECTATE VIEW

Not sure if this has been covered yet, but would it be possible to spec someone in first person? There have been a few times, especially back when the assault rifle was still hitscan, when the whole server has suspected that someone was aimbotting but there was no real way to tell for sure since we could only spectate in 3rd person.

Please implement it Hi-Rez

Thanks,

End.

Nobody knows. They barely post, but they seem to read at least a little.

The forums are a good way to make people think they're being productive.
