no not unless you use quakeworld and go into observer mode
in observer mode you can't shoot . What your asking is considered
cheating during a game if your actually playing. Not knowing his
postion, ammo , health etc is all part of the game. You have to learn
the maps listen for sounds that tell you where your opponents are
