Better Spectator UI?

<div class="IPBDescription">missing features</div>I'm curious why spectators do not receive death messages, and why the spectator crosshair was removed (consequently, specs can no longer inspect player names). Also, is there any plan for a first person view?

    I would not know why such things is, but I would like to add that spectators act a bit odd. When you turn around, you rotate around a point somewhere in front of you, as if you had "thirdperson" (the concmd) activated, but lacked a model.
    Anyone know of other things?

    i think that was a quick fix for the graphical glitches when being "inside" a player who you are following as a spectator (when you click
    mouse1 you jump between players and lock to them)

    Afaik this happens if no valid spectating target is found. (Third person is default when becoming a Spectator). Simply press Spacebar one time and you are in the real free-look mode.
