Please give server admins back "Spectator Mode"

Portal community server is powerful and amazing function in BF2042.
However, there is a significant issue to manage servers for administrators of BF ages.

There is no spectator mode

It is difficult to identify hackers and players with bad manners in game playing for admins.
Admins can suspect them but difficult to ban with convinsion without a spectator mode, especially "wall-hacking (ESP)".

It can lead false banning from reports of non-admin players, but admins are compelled to rely on such reports.

Admins can hold ban list in portal servers now, so it can lead serious troubles.

Of course, there are other useful functions which don't exist in BF2042 for admins.
1. Score board (to find hackers)

2. All chat (to find hackers and players with bad manner)

3. Moderators (to reduce the load on admins)

4. Little progression for exps and attachments (but I understand this also have a serious problem)

However, spectator mode is one of the most important functions for admins, I think.

Furthermore, spectator mode is one of the ways of enjoying BF series. It is very fun!


Veteran BF server admins seem to be in a lot of trouble.

Please give us back the spectator mode.

    The community does need dedicated servers to rent, otherwise, BF2042 won`t stay afloat when it comes to player numbers.

    We must have access to map rotation, game modes, tick rate, number of tickets, whitelist, allowed weapons, and gadgets, information about the host and ping, etc.

    This is what keeps the game running.

    BF may still have an All-out Warfare lobby, official servers but the server list is what makes battlefield the Battlefield. The lobby may only work in the case of BR, HZ, and TDM. The rest is probably out of the equation of functionality after several months of the release date.
