Disable Spectator mode

[watewer]

I just figured out you can just press spectate mismatch and free camera roam around to see where the enemies are. or if you want to be a real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just have premade squad with 1 spectator and you have game-allowed wallhacks.

PLEASE DISABLE THIS FEATURE IN LIVE MATCHES

It's sooooo much fun to watch other players and tell your friend who is where in 127v127 battles. It's definitely more interesting than the main game. Surely everyone does this.

[watewer]

in a game where flanking and setting up a spawn point for your squad is one of the main ways of winning, being able to just enter noclip spectator camera and finding an enemy spawn point thats been bothering you. You can even do it while waiting for respawn, 5 seconds scout the area and spawn back in to keep playing.

If you have not done it and are saying ah its just spectator camera, NO ITS INGAME WALLHACK because you see names of enemies and where they are through walls

[Poofy]

Absolutely true there should just be a spectator que that locks you in spectator the entire game.

[Define Brackish Water]

This is called "ghosting" and it's super unfair in games where people don't respawn. Normally I'd be against this, but this actually sounds like a really fun pastime. You could make a game out of sneaking past enemies and keeping a noob alive.

[Rexxed]

They should just make it so that if you select to spectate, you have to spectate the game or leave the match and rejoin to play again. That way you can still spectate and get good angles for a video or something, but not be able to abuse it as a spectator wallhack of some kind.

[Ailes]

What kind of pathetic, sweaty tryhards do people have to be to abuse this like that? This would have never crossed my mind to do. So... I guess thanks for raising awareness... But now even more may do that...

[gza]

Agree, I've already seen two clans highly suspect of this exploit. It's very lame.

Drones exists, you know.

Do drones show enemy tags through walls? NO? Huh maybe you should think what my problem is with spectator camera.

[Fireserpent7]

Thats a terrible idea i use spectator to verify people are cheating before i report them and tell people in chat to do the same, the cheating problem is already terrible, without spectate i feel it would be much much worse

BattleBit is such a fast paced game, that I’d personally say; if you’re stood still for long enough for spectator cam info to be used against you - you’re probably facing what I’d describe as a skill issue

did it even occur to you that you an specatate yourself and get a realtime wallhack?

very nuanced take, very smart, except the spectator can literally stalk and follow and actively relay your position to his teammates 24/7. "A better player" change your name bro. Skill issue using dog

Bad take. People can also use spectator to scout for rally points.

The problem isn't spectator mode in itself but the ability to free roam in it. The devs should remove free roam completely, it's not useful in identifying cheaters, there is no reason for it to exist, seeing what the sus player does from his perspective is what matters.

I don't think it's necesary to see all player icons either. Seeing only icons of enemies that are near the center of the screen/crosshair would suffice, that way you can still judge if the player you're spectating has a wallhack and snap-ish aim. The devs could also add a cooldown to how quickly and often you can switch into spectator and back into the action or temporarily lock you in it so individual players can't scout for rally points and engage them themselves only a few seconds later.
