Hmmm... it may not work as well as you write there, I think that if a spectator mode, like you described where you 'piggyback', then you will see your normal ammo count, even if they are using unlimited ammo, because Renegade would just read YOUR objects.ddb, and you also wouldnt be able to see bigheads, as it would read YOUR .w3d files. Although, if the lag isnt bad you'll be able to see where they shoot, and you'd see that they wouldnt reload when they ran out of ammo. But it would still be a bit difficult. And plus you might have a SBH, and nubs may go around saying "WATCH OUT GDI, A SBH IS GONA NUKE YOUR BARAX!!1111", which would kinda piss some players off.

Xptek is already developing something like this. He's making it so that you're invisible and able to fly around the map. He tricks Renegade into thinking that objects.ddb is the same as the original, allowing everybody to play, but only the people with the actual mod to be a spectator.
He has already released a couple versions of his spectator mod, and they seem to work just fine. It is somewhat difficult to get to work, and should only be used by people who don't care about their points and ranking as you won't be able to do any damage to buildings or players.

A basic spectator mode has already been made by vlokt that makes you unteamed, invincible, with no weapons. A camera piggyback is most likely possible but would require client side scripts for the person that is spectating.

I had kind of asked the same thing before in a different forum but as another kinda spectator. Not realy a mod but just a person wanting to watch a game. Example of this would be BC5. Server is always full and i was wondering if you could somehow make a viewer to watch the game(possibly original c&c style). But this would probably cost too much time and effort but would be awsome to be able to watch the full game on a full map view.
