I’d love to watch others playing both campaign and matchmaking.
What do you all think about been able to spectate
I think of they do this they need to restrict Party Chat like Call of Duty does for Search and Destroy, because people can easily abuse the system and give away enemy locations.
I think that would be good in the next halo. If you don’t select a loadout option in the first 10 seconds, you should go into a spectate mode and not have an afk team mate on your team feeding the enemy free kills.
Frank o’connor has said that he thinks it’s an important mechanic, and that 343 is considering it.
A spectator mode would be great. Fingers crossed.

Nice idea.
If there is not any kind of JIP to replace the player, do you think that it should be possible to come out of spectator mode or would you be ‘locked in’?
If there is no JIP then I would say the AFK should be able to come back to the game. Then perhaps the spectator mode could be activated if no activity for 1 minute at any time?

Or just put the spectators view on a timed delay? Me and my friends used to talk over Skype when playing games, so when we played S&D in our MW2 days we could “abuse” the system.
League of Legends has a 3-minute delay in spectator mode, I don’t see why it can’t be implemented similarly in Halo.
Please put a 10 second delay so that friends do not provide unfair intel to their mates in the match…

Or put them on a separate team so they can’t talk. If there’s a delay for Spectators it should also be changeable in Customs. Really, this isn’t needed for MM in the first place, so I don’t see why it would be included there.
I’ve never been a big Theater guy, so I definitely don’t see the appeal of spectator mode. I mean, it’s a cool concept, but I never find myself saying “gee, i’m going to watch video games.” It’s definitely at the bottom of my wishlist, but hey – they could implement it and I could find myself absolutely addicted to it. If they can nail down the rest of multiplayer, then I hope they experiment with it.
