Spectators don't get flashed when spectating a player.

[shrike]

If you're spectating someone that gets flashed, you are able to see perfectly even though the player is flashed. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but this is bad for competitive because you can tell your teammate when to fire and where. It works if you can't talk to dead team mates, but in competitive we use teamspeak or mumble, and not in game chat.

True. However Taken with how CSGO has gone with its spectate mode. I think "watching" a teammate you SHOULD be flashed.
but if your are in "spectator" you shouldn't be flashed.


But I think they did this simply becuase people were complaining about the flashlight in spec mode

you're just spectating, it's not like you matter anymore...

Spectator = low priority
right now spectator is most bugged thing in the game :)

This is what I meant, not spectator mode. Sorry for the confusion.

that's because flashlight have at least 3 bugs in spectator mode/dead cam during beta so they remove it completely (right now there is bug that some sees player angled against ground, cvars are still non functional, etc.). And to be honest the flashlight effect as a whole is one major bug :) (containing some smaller ones)
