'''Server downtime''': The Tribes Servers are expected to be down for several hours on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2011 while the patch is deployed. Watch the Server Status in Hi-Command for latest availability information.

=== Spectator Early Preview ===
* Work in progress, especially in the HUD and in the method you use to go into spectate mode (match slots, etc).
* In console, type, ‘Spectate’ to enter spectate mode
* In console, type, ‘EndSpectate’ to exit spectate mode
* Keys may be changed in the Settings menu, at the bottom of the Keybindings list - Spectator keys are prefixed with “SPEC”

:* Q: Move Down
:* E: Move Up
:* W/A/S/D: Move Forward, Left, Back, Right

:* Open the “say” chat interface (default key = “T”)
:* Enter a forward slash (“/”) followed by the command and the target player’s name.
* Mute player: /mute <playername> (example: /mute Bob)
