First person spectating is terrible

there isn't any point in first person spectating someone if you suspect them of aimbotting because the speccing system is terrible. it isn't representive of the person's aiming AT ALL. it isn't smooth and it makes the player look like hes randomly flicking his mouse even though he isn't. it makes people look like they're aimbotting when they're not.

    I'm not going to say it can't be improved, but I see similar issues in other games all the time.

    how about aimbotters rarely miss?

    Spectating is good so far. It'd be nice to have damage numbers though.

    Have you considered that perhaps everyone is using aimbot... seriously though, hopefully it will be improved.

    I have to agree with despair, although I believe it was better in 240.

    now, it hurts my eyes. I even spectated one lerk which was flickering between somewhere far under the map (clipping) and his normal view constantly.

    somehow, switching camera type to thrid person doesn't work for me.

    First person spec replaced 3rd person.

    despair, are you the spoiled child of a millionaire, or just a troll?

    (need a detox after looking at his spoiled brat/troll post history)

    Regardless, it does need work. If it's going to be shown off at Germany on the front page of Twitch making it accurate to where the player is actually aiming should be a priority before that final.

    You can still tell when someone is aimbotting.

    Its not perfect I admit, but I much prefer to spectate in first person then in free roam or birds eye view.

    Didn't one of the devs said that you could switch the camera type by pressing Spacebar or something?

    I can't switch to any other camera mode. But maybe that's only for real spectators and not for dead teammates.

    As people mentioned here it is still quite useful to spot potential aim-botters or wallhackers. Also I'm not seeing the issues on legit players, there is no random flicking and it is quite smooth from what I can see. Random flicking isn't aimbotting btw, it's all part of legit aiming as well. Aimbotting can be identified by perfect target snapping or tracking perfectly through walls...

    What you're seeing btw, is what the server sees. No-lag compensated. And as such I see no need for this thread.

    Locked...
