Spectator mode and replayed demos of other players appear to be in third person view mode only. Is there a way to spectate and view replays in first person view mode? I'm using the Q2pro.exe client.

I think if you click the mouse one or space bar it changes views and players. My m1 is shoot and space is jump so try your shoot and jump buttons. One of em bounces you to different players and the other switches cams/viewpoints if I remember correctly.

Clicking mouse2 or spacebar would be the obvious way of changing view, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I see demos on Youtube that are in first person view, but I'm assuming it's because it's recorded by the actual player playing. I want to record other players, but when I spectate them it's always in third person view.  :?

Indeed, it depends on which Q2 game mod the server is running. OpenTDM for example does allow in-eyes spectating, while the default Q2 deathmatch game code is third-person only.

I was on DM this morning for the first time in a pretty long time. Seemed fine to me.

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
