This is what the change team selections should be. Many a time when I host a server and need to go out for something, I'm always left standing there as an afk, and its not helping my team's score, or the game gets stuck...etc. What I propose, is a way to change my team to Specator so I can be afk and not worry about having things get stuck or not work.

Good idea anyway, sometimes when I have to eat or something but still want to keep an eye on my team this would be useful.

Yeah... you should be able to join the specs directly (without leaving the server) anyway :)

When I join my own dedicated server everyone gets connection problems randomly and it screws it for everyone so I either dont make em or dont go

i would like the ability to go from spectator to alpha or bravo. it would be awsome. cause getting in and out of servers to go to spec or nething else is a pain specially when you try to get back in and it is "full" ... oh the sadness!

I would like having a different counter for Spectators:
Example:
Max Players - 4
Max Spectators - 2

Meh I always get super-lag when I do that...
Anyway, great idea, because every time I leave my fav. servers, they fill up SOOOOOOOOO quick.

well, I think the main problem here would be that a bunch of people specing, which in turn, lags up the server. I think a way to counteract this would be to have a timelimit for specing (set by server),and a lower kick percentage when in spec (1/2)

yes good idea, setting a team as spectator would also allow spectator bots to take up the #2 slot of mute
