Damn imagine, your all like "stunner, Give me an uplink of what you seeing, i need to know where that sniper is!" and/or youd be able to see what he see's, for tactical reasons. But even if you can only see what hes doing, that still be awesome. Body language means alot. But im sure there would bee time where you wouldn't want to see people's ugly mugs. Either way, simply awesome.


That would be tight, showing teammates tactically data and set up ambushes... Being a scout with a sniper rifle and all, tactics in video games would actually improve....


You would NOT need a camera to see what he sees though, that would be in game rendared. This was actually something similar to what I postulated earlier about Bungie's big new community feature. I thought they would simulate split screen in some way so that you could see what your teammates see. Of course you could turn this off.

The webcam is currently only going to be on the dashboard and is being released in Japan... where they all have absolutely amazing broadband connections and therefore very little lag.

Well there are loads of possiblities for the web cam, taking into accout the eye toy for the PS2 this could have loads of different options maybe you could use it on your xbox menu and choose you tracks with just a wave of your hand or maybe games soley for the cam. I think the idea of seeing ur team mates while fighting (Halo2 Live) is a class idea!!!!

If only what you are saying was true!! Seriously though, being able to see your teamates would be awesome. Instead of talking (proximity voicing will get you heard remember!), hand signals could come into the equation etc. Just remember Arnie from Predator 1!!

Well, for us that don't have 40 inch TV's and over, It would be tiny and clutter up the screen. Imagine, your sniping, scanning the field for any approaching enemies. All of the sudden people start wailing around dancing everywhere and you can't see a thing. BOOM, "Respawn in 15 seconds" "Red Team has the flag".

Erm..............no. I don't have a 40 inch plasma screen tv etc, mine is just a normal 20-inch, 4-3 pan scan, and I love it. If it 'cluttered' up your screen, turn it off!
