Should they make a spectate mode? So if people just wanted to chat and not play or something they could go to spectate and watch someone else play while they talk. Also, if someone wanted to learn a good strategy,

in that case yes, I would like to see some sort of spectator mode in Halo 2. It would be fun watching epic battles and discussing them as they unfold

What would be really great is if they had free spectator mode in which you could still use proximity voice. *chuckles* oh, the possibilities. The voices! The voices in my head!

That could, and would, be used to cheat. You should be able to hear other players talk and not talk to them. But you could talk to other people spectating in the same game.

I voted no, becuase everyone would be too busy PLAYING HALO 2 to have time to fly around the map being retarded.

Yeah, its a waste of space(and yes, Spectators DO take up bandwidth and server room) I say no.

Yes, but no for free spectating. Im sure bungie has some hidden secrets in some levels that they dont want you to find by freely roming through the levels, However, the idea of following a specific person is very cool, Maybe if you want to watch and see how a really good halo MP does it, you could learn a thing or two.

Yeah, that would be my problem too, I don't want a bunch of lag, just because some schmo wants to watch.
