It would be useful for survival gametypes to see a count of remaining alive players at a quick glance. I think this is common in battle royale type of games. This would be relevant to survival-type modifications as well.
At the moment, not all players are shown if there are more than 16 players on the server, even though there are fewer than 16 players ingame.
When you are following someone (dead spec), your own entry is not highlighted in the statboard. It should rather behave like the scoreboard and highlight both players in this case.
