Free Look Mode - How To Access

<div class="IPBDescription">for those who want it...</div> With the latest few releases, "free look" spectating has been removed. However, you can still use it, and it works fine, except you can't use the mouse to move around.

While spectating, enter "spec_mode 3" in console. You are now in Free Look Mode.
Bind keys to +lookup, +lookdown, +left, and +right to adjust your view, and use your +forward and +back keys to move your view forward/backward. It's a little awkward at first, but you'll get used to it.

Enter "spec_mode 1" or "spec_mode 2" in console to return to normal spectating.

Here's a quick screenie of some marines on faceoff just showing free look being used in a server w/ people.

    I thought this feature was removed because it was (supposedly) abused. Wouldn't this trick sort of ruin the point of the removal? (Or, wouldn't it be better to just re-implement it so you don't have to work around it with console commands?)

    Pfff it won't work when you're ingame though. The only time when it will work is when you're spectator.

    Tried it before and didn't work. The only tiem it worked was when I was spectator. And taht means you can't use voivcecomm.

    But there's still a chance of possible abuse through IM (by running NS in windowed mode) or Roger Wilco right?

    Well, anyway....just in case....*click*

    in an important match there's no spectator that could possibly ghost (unless the admins are quite biased and paid or something) if it's just an average train, who cares. If it's on HLTV there's delay. If it's on a pub, I guess you're free to waste one player's time to ghost around.

    Oh, and freelook doesn't give that much more info than locked modes...

    what's the spec mode for free follow?
