Camera Movement

When in Free Camera mode, the speed at which it moves should perhaps be increased. Tripled or something. Because it's really slow and useless if you want to go quickly from one end of the map to the other.

Click the mouse to cycle through players until it brings you to the area you want to see. 

For Crouchbug, F12, it should be pretty easily fixed.  some people even know exactly how to trigger it.

I wish I didn't know how to fucking trigger it unintentionally..
And about the camera, what if all your teammates are dead in one side of the map? You start shitting bricks until you reach the other end of the map by just moving your mouse to the edge and waiting for the slow camera to move.
By saying "Click the mouse to cycle through players until it brings you to the area you want to see. " you're supporting involution.

I still don't get how you intentially crouch bug...
And normally not all your players are dead at once...

^But you can still spectate them.

I support the idea. I think that the farther you move the mouse from the middle of the screen, the faster it should go. So if you jerk it to the side it'll go from moped to mach-3.

Ahh that's true, however, you normally follow the guy who's the furthest.  Now I actually get what he's talking about, I guess it'd be pretty useful to have that

Lord Frunkamunch's idea is good in my opinion.

I think there's a reason why camera is following your teammates when you click: you shouldn't be able to see more than your teammates. If you'd have unlimited vision while dead there would be too much spying (now you can see enemies which your teammates cannot see and this is already a little unfair, but acceptable).

I think the camera should only move when you get to the side of your screen, and then faster and faster the more to the side you get. 
'And how about spacebar as a swich between free-cam and player-spec, like in CS

You can already switch between free cam and player cam... Just press W (iirc ;d) and then click(lmb or rmb) to follow players again.
