Hey guys how we all doing?
One original feature of GunZ that I would love to see brought back for all players and not just staff is the ability to spectate rooms.
I mean if for whatever reason it's something that is an absolute no-no, then at least bring it for the duel rooms if feesable?
It was always nice being able to spectate friends and duels etc for whatever reason.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I agree though it can cause lots of unwanted stalking and might also cause drama, if for example 2 people are chatting about a third person who is watching the room.
I have mixed feelings about this one. I agree with Leon that it would just cause issues in less populated/more social rooms like a training room or a glad room. Anyone could just come in and SS or take a picture with their phone of what you're saying.
Even though it'd be cool to watch over a room like a DM for example, I see it causing too much drama. Plus it's already a thing in most of the game modes anyway once you're dead or join a room (Duel, TDM, Team Glad, etc). Only difference is your name is exposed. So it's not like you don't get to enjoy spectating at all.
Maybe make a regular announcement similar to the "X has joined the room" but then add "as spectator" or something.
(if that's not too much effort to begin with, that is
^ staff members excluded of course)
If you don't want someone to join a room because you're talking shit in their back, locked rooms also exists, but there's also other places to do it instead of speaking in your own language that most people don't understand. KappaQuote:

They would have to limit the number of allowed spectators per room, that is the only thing i can say for certain. I don't think its going to happen though with all the extra coding that would need to be done so spectating wouldn't become a buggy mess. I'm pretty sure most of the custom code doesn't take into account a regular player spectating since they aren't considered the same as a hidden staff member in the code. So unfortunately its not as simple as flipping a switch and would take quite some time.
Spectator mode was never finished neither was it ever possible in any gunz versions. ( spectating without rejoining)
i think the dev team and i already talked about this and it was gonna come with huge issue's.
But i do think it's worth it if it's only usable in "Private" Rooms, Rooms with a password and all.
But like silent said, I honestly doubt this will be a thing.
If I remember correctly Aiden finished it for DG once upon a time but it was never released, the original maiet spectator code.Quote:

That's how I would do it, too.Quote:

could be useful to watch 1v1's ,events, tournaments etc..Quote:

I was thinking a landscape pan shot of a person BF'ing across the screen.
Unfortunately, since spectator mode is not available I cannot record any footage or gameplay with camera not locked onto a person or having my own character in plain view. A spectator mode, as I understanding it is a rather difficult and controversial issue already discussed and proposed here at Freestyle GunZ. I have no input on how that can be a non-issue, but I just wanted to give my perspective on a purely "non-competitive" stance.
It really makes any possibility for quality videos or media content.
This has been solved as we've told the player about spectator mode / free cam in replays (by pressing M).Quote:
