What I'm proposing is some sort of cool mod where you can put 343GS into a multiplayer game. He can't shoot, he can't die, he just can hover everywhere on a Multiplayer game and watch, but you control him. With this feature you could get some really cool shots of everysingle aspect of the game. Using this you could show all the tips, tricks and glitches you want using really cool angles, instead of being pinned to the floor and behind some crosshairs.

I would have the controls as follows: the thumbsticks for normal movement, Left and right triggers for rotating the camera in that direction and black and white buttons to move up and down in the air (kinda like strafing up and down).

I know its a bit implausible and far fetched but I think it would be a really cool little extra for showing off some skill. Tell me what you think.

PS. It would be on a totally separate xbox so competitors can't use 'the spectator' to their advantage. Also can only be on its own, taking up the whole screen, so you can record it.

Me neither, just a thought that it would turn out some cool gaming footage.

Yeah, that would be a great idea. I need some new screenshots, and crosshairs and stuff are bogus in a good one. It would also be useful in catching great matereal informational shots, too!

Its just a thought for all those people out there who make videos. I don't personally but if I had this feature I definately would.

I have videos with great camera of simplest of tricks and they look great (jumping out of a warthog, hitting a rock and jumping on to the top if the base in Blood Gulch is just one example). So easy but looks 10x better with some good camera angles.

I thought of some more controls for the idea, here are all of them:
Thumbsticks: Normal movement
[color=white]White [/color] and [color=black] Black [/color] Buttons: Moving up and down (like strafing)
Left and Right Triggers: Rotating the Camera
[color=green] A [/color] and [color=blue] X [/color] Buttons: Zooming in and out
[color=yellow] Y [/color] Button: Bring up/down teleport crosshairs (like an accurate sniper rifle crosshair)
[color=red] B [/color] Button: Teleport (can only be done when teleport crosshairs are up)

Why not just have controls like the banshee but with pressing in the left thumbstick for vertical climb and right thumbstick for vertical descent?

I'm sure most of you will agree that the 1st page of 'The Library' forum is a little dry at the moment. Just thought I'd 'bump' one of my topics up there for some interesting reading for you guys.

Like a spectator in some PC games? Yeah that would be pretty cool.And you can annoy the Snipers on the team you don't like as much by getting right in there faces( if they can see you).Hehe..
