Whouldn't it be cool if Halo 3 had a spectator Mode? Whould be prety awsome if instead of the cliche "invible ghost" in games like CSS they made the spectators look like the Monitors like 343 Guilty Spark. Since they can't die and they can't shoot in the game any way they whould be perfect. You chould even be able to deside what colour your eye is!


But since I chould see people doing things like getting together and blocking hall ways with these guys, normal people should also be able to push them out of the way easly.

I think it whould be a realy awsome thing for them to do with Halo 3. It chould also chould make it easyer for people who make Machinima get better angles.

it's a good idea but you should have a maximum amount of spectators like 8-10

thats the best idea i've ever heard, it would make movies easier and it not be so boring when i die fast

Yes, I have thrown this idea out many times. A spectator camera would be great. The fixed camera of Halo 2 was really annoying and seemed outdated compared to the spectator camera's of other games.

--I don't think you should be visible though, no. Just talking about the camera.

Wow, this is actually very good idea.

I am...whimsical today.

It would have to be regulated to certain games, possibly cut it out of Live all together to avoid having your friend spot for you.

If Bungie fixes the spectator camera they will be doing themselves a world of good. I've heard many people complain about the camera you have to look at while you die. I have friends on Live that play games where you die and then you're out for the round and you have to watch everyone else play. This is where the spectator camera would really shine. As of now it totally sucks watching the rest of the round go by at fixed(and most of the time bad) angles. Please Bungie, FIX YOUR CAMERA! =)

I too want a solid spectator mode (would make limited life games a lot more interesting, help with film makers, just be a cool idea). The idea of having it be monitors is appealing. I do see how it could cause all sorts of glich potential, but could also create interesting game play options. "Hey, Bob. Betray five of us at the start of the game and commit suicide. Then scoot over to the defensive base and scout out things. Find that damn sniper." Has potential, but I don't think it should be the default. Just invisible, intangible for default.

I was thinking more of being ablet to join a spector team in witch you fly around. The Spectators whouldn't be able to talk with the normal people or any thing unless a option for proxsmity chat that chould be turn on and off by the host. Realy it whould probly just be spectators can't chat with normal people.


This spectaor team chould be turn off and ect and have from bassic options like how many and ect. Also on games with limated lives once you dead for good you whould go into this spectator mode.

Like I said befor, chould be a prety cool option/Feature in Halo 3. Also a fix for the follow cam angle whould be awsome too.

I think this would be a bad idea. Way to "off" for a Halo game.

So like be able to turn a "intangible" option on and off? That's a prety good idea. Like when off your the ghost that can pass threw wall and one one can see. If on you are a monitor.


I don't realy see how it chould be abused thow, caues like I said. Make it so the moditors are easly push out of the way when you walk into them. Like they don't even slow you down, you just kinda plow right threw him. That way you don't have things like a bunch of guys get together and block a door in the middle of a game.

They whouldn't put it in match makeing games thow, and if some one did that in a custome you just got to boot them.

(Note: quoted the wroung post in that post >_<)

It chould be balenced. =)

Not in match makeing (So no spoting)
They can be push extremly easly so there no in the way (So no blocking doors)
A option for also so people playing the game who are cloes to them can't hear them on by defalt. So they don't drop hints if you don't want them to.
