Ok everyone here it is the doozy of all knew game modes... spectator. No you don't have to go clean out or ears (actually your eyes).
There should be a game mode where you can spectate a game that is currently happening in matchmaking. There would be two ways to do it: a random game (you pick the matchmaking type), or a friends game.

Now I know what is going through your heads, besides all those flaming thoughts, why would anyone want to watch a game when you could be playing it. Well I don't know about you all but when a friend of mine goes into a game of lone wolves to rank up I have always wanted to watch, thats what inspired the idea.
After what I just said you may be thinking "wouldn't that interfere with the game", well thats why you would not be able to communicate with anyone that is in the game.

I know this post was a long one and my thanks goes out to all of you who took the time to read it.
Give me your oppinion on my thats if you so choose to do so.

Spectating in itself wouldn't be a bad thing, but it could cause lag.

I apologize for the inconvenience my friend. But if you realize mine is lightly different in the fact that i would like it for matchmaking.

As I said before they would not be able to communicate with people in the game, by that i meant through chat or party.

I don't think that is possible to code in for the party thing.

So make them simply not be able to go into party or chat at all during spectator only talk to those watching it with you.

I don't think you understand. Bungie can't mess with Microsoft's Xbox guide system. In Every Xbox 360 game you play, the xbox menu system is the exact same. Games don't rule over systems.

The spectators would need to render everything so the stress would still be about the same as if the spectators were playing. So, if you had a game of TS 4v4 with 8 spectators, the game would be as laggy as a Big Team game.
