Updates to spectator mode

Games Halo Wars Series
1

Before the release of the new update, I was wondering if there will be any new features added to spectator mode?
The biggest thing for me would be to add more functionality by using the default controls for the D-pad and bumpers.

Make the D-Pad have the some of the same controls as a regular player.
Allow spectators to select all units/local units to better show current army size/composition. Maybe be able to select all units from one team?
Ability to look at leader power wheel of player that the spectator is currently on. Obviously leader power choices are important especially seeing cool downs.

In general, this would allow casters to better show the current game state and more accurately tell viewers what may happen or should happen. It would just create a more informing viewing experience.

Any other ideas that are not overly complicated or are based off already existing features in game?

Spectator mode is currently locked to custom games. The ability to spectate games at random or from a list of active sessions would be neat.

Thats a great idea but not something that I think could be easily implemented based on how spectator mode is currently.

Being able to do that would take a full theater mode that is capable of creating detailed enough logs of in game events (etc.) and then playing them back as they happened. Currently the spectator mode is just an additional player with restricted abilities.
