[Vehicle] Spectator Camera

[Zar2Roc]

Admins sit in BF2CC, then wait a few days (5 IIRC) after a battle for any complaints to be reported by participants.
It was this way when I played there.

My number one concern is not that admins will use this to spy (which is a concern no less), and its not that it will totally destroy immersion (which, as previously mentioned, is a concern no less), I am really concerned that this will totally give away the people it is spectating. Sure, it can fly super high, but when this thing is released, I can name off the top of my head at least 10 admins who will spawn it and zip across the map. Honestly, putting this in-game really has taken steps away from realism, and it makes me pretty pissed off.

I second this. Its a good idea, and would be a nice feature if used properly. I just worry that their would be like ten of the things flying around in game....

It should be something limited to admin use only, and not used in pub servers....only for tournaments.

Yes, only admins can spawn it. I'm saying only admins should be able to use it.

Unless I misread...

People dont worrie about Non admins useing it they CANT And if u know some admins that are going to be LIL nubs in it DONT GO TO THAT SERVER. and live with it. PRBOT will be in v0.9 Like they said.

Ah, well thats good to hear. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.

I just watched the video of it on youtube posted earlier in this thread, and those camera angles look awesome! I'm sure there will be some great vids made as a result of this thing.

I don't see why the uproar. I doubt that many admins are going to even use it... It'll probably die out after a few weeks since people will find it's more fun actually fighting on the ground.

Not true I called it a haro in my post a few pages back

[HughJass]

do we have to "spawn it/etc" or will mappers be able to just place the vehicle in a map?

also, great idea guys.

[Maxfragg]

as said allready, you have to spawn it, and the serveradmin can decide whos got the right to do that

my bad, I must've had a dyslexic fit and read it was 'hero'

[Ironfist7997]

can it be redesigned to look like a vulture or big bird of prey so it wouldn't be so noticable?

i think its a really great idea to have it available for admins.

can we has kittens for grenades

[AncientMan]

The thing is so small, you'll have a very hard time of seeing it past 100m. Also seeing that it will only be happening on passworded servers, it's highly doubtful that most of you will be seeing it at all .

[DISS]

Will PRSP have this thing ??

[tommytgun]

lolol it almost looks like the pain in the a** robot drone guy from Halo

[se5-soldier]

it will be useful when there is some idiot TK'n and ur calling 4 admin but admin has no proof so u can get that probe and record the video as proof and ban or kick the person...however i dont fink other players in the game should be able 2 see it...coz it will be a bit distracting?? dont u fink..?
