Hey DAD-

All the servers are different but this is what I've found to hold true the majority of the time.

When you first enter a server you're usually in Spectate. There is a message that appears at the bottom of the screen that tells you how to manipulate Spectate Mode.

To change the player you're following it's normally the Use key. The default is E. Spacebar (?) is used to go into Free Spectate. Jump will raise the camera, Crouch will lower the camera. WASD and the mouse will move the camera just as it does your character. Pulling the trigger will end Spectate and ask you to choose your side. You can re-enter Spectate by hitting ESC and selecting Spectate from the bottom of the list.

There is no clipping in Free Spectate so you can go thru walls and the ground. It's quite fun to get the bird's-eye-view of a heated battleground. You can get some great screenshots too.

I hope this helps!
