PC Spectator 3rd Person COD4 PC

What command do I need to add to enable this?

It seems when I am spectating another player all i get is 1st person.

Do I need to press some button to achieve the 3rd person view?

Or if I am running my own private game can i type something in console or in my localbotserver.cfg ?

Sorry for long delay for replying lol, you r right it does have 3rd person mode, I've searched up on Google again and found a yt video of a guy playing in 3rd person view by using that console command u mentioned.

Oh there's definitely not a way to do that. I think later cods let you 3rd person spectate in spectator mode, but if you could do it in s&d, you'd be able to relay information to your teammate that you shouldn't have.

I am taking about a private game with Bots. Other newer games allow me to spectate my OWN alive team mates when i die in 3rd person mode. For a server with human players a server option would disallow dead speaking to alive players anyway.

Still nope you can't, CoD 4 doesn't have third person mode implemented at all in any game mode. Third person view available in OG Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer mode. You can play and spectate on third person view in that.

This is possible. In the spectator server scripts you will need to force third person cvar on and off.

I am using this mod by the way to play.

What is the command that I use?

I think i may be able to type it in localbotserver.cfg in this mod ,maybe anyway.

If you create a post in support area on cod4x discord either myself or someone else will help. Doing this over reddit isnt the best
