No more Spectator mode?

[Pectabyte]

Why is there no longer a Spectator mode available in the ESC menu? No matter what I do I cannot join spectators even when running with Bots...

Try some of these console commands:
viewbot
becomeactive
spectateonly (if you managed to switch to spec, toggle 1st/3rd person view with this)

If some of those work, bind them for practical later usage.
For example, I use this: Bindings=(Name="F4", Command="behindview")

I believe UTComp offers you to switch between spec/play.

No longer?
As far as I know a specator mode has never existed...
Once you join the game and are active there is no way to become a spectator.
You have to reconnect to the server, but as a spectator.
(Via browser.)

[very unreal]

with bots there is a mutator for that

[Nightmare85]

Okay, could work for bots.
(Although I don't see much sense in it...)

Online it's not possible as far as I know.
(Not sure about mutators, but I've never seen something this kind.)

Cheers!

U can just enter in the server as spectator
