can someone tell me this  
it isnt a cheat or somphing so why wont unlock it i think many people would be happy with it.....

That is because SOF2 is a first person shooter, not a 3rd person shooter. If they'd unlock that you'd be able to see things you aren't supposed to see, which will completely fxck this game up.

When its unlocked people can toggle it on/off when they want to see around corners.

why can't we adjust the 3rd person spec mode?  at least raven could adjust it, cuz its not at optimum angles...and whats up with it not following players when they lean?

You get first person following in 1.02..

thx satan for that, but why can't we adjust 3rd person spec?

u r almost at a thousand.  keep it up!

hush, don't remind him.

Of course SOF2 is an fps game, but take UT for instance.  Or Tactical Ops as a mod for it.. Both allow you to rotate around the player and view them from any angle on 3rd person view... Wich does eliminate some of the issues of not being able to see around corners when spec'ing someone when the lean.

And yes, that does leave open room for cheating tho.. but then again, so does just having the game multiplayer in and of itself... It's not really something you can totall avoid.

Why not just allow someone to go TRUE ghost mode, and move around anywhere in the map (clipping and all).

you CAN go true ghost mode if the server allows it, which most dont.

I think most servers in 1.02 will lock first person spectating anyway.
