Spectator Mode.......yes or no?

I wanted to hear people's opinions about a spectator mode. I think it would be nice. Like if games had passwords you couldn't join them but you could spectate, but not talk or atleast talk to other spectators. Also if the game was full you could join and watch and talk if it didnt have a password. This would be useful for dedicated servers so the host could watch and not just talk without watching. Clan tryouts would be alot easier. Clan leaders could scout for players easily. And watching the league, clanmatches, and tournaments would be nice.[:D] I dont know about anyone else, but i think spectating mode is something soldat needs. There should be options to let spectators talk or mute them, just so people dont cheat by giving off hiding spots. or maybe instead of mute, the player could only talk to other spectators. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.[8D] Any other options or limitations the spectator mode should have?

Hey lets make a list of people who agree with namjagerungbengi first statement and my first statement :D...

and Tweak, if you really did just lag REALLY bad, then please say so, then we can all respect you again...not that i necessarily did in the first place since i dont know you, but hey.....

And on the actual topic, its sort of a boring idea. Who wants to sit in front of a computer and stare at the screen, doing nothing? Not me, thats for sure....although, you're right, for clan scouting it could be usefal.

[EDIT]
List deleted.

i agree with the idea of spectator mode, but if u read the forums carefully u'll find some topics where some ppl already talked about it so, NO NEED TO POST IT 4 TIMES!

i agree with duke. there's no doubt on that!

Well, im not too sure, since his other three ones are all the same, starting off with 'I I' and then this one starts off with '[quote] I I' Therfore, while he might have posted the other three by accident, this one is different...unless im missing something....

I love the idea....it should be available for server host to choose if they want spectators or not. I think that the spectators should be able to communicate with eachother but not with the players. The spectators however should see what the players are writing...could be fun to watch clanwars.

Its okay mr bob. He said it was an accident. Okay, ill delete the list.

Anyway, on topic. I must admit that jsut watching isnt something that id do instead of playing, but i must admit, as you said, that for clan matches, clan tryouts, and for the host to watch the game, it would be very usefal. So, i guess that i support it.

NOTHING speaks against it. It's not hard to implement and it wouldn't actually change the gameplay or anything.

I'm fully FOR spectator mode. (spectators receive public and spectator talk but normal players can't see text from spectators)

Of course - spectator mode is absolutely necessary. And a replay function.

lol replay function not really needed only if you could have a cache where you could record for about 5 seconds then it overwrites it the next time you record so you could get those funny 5 second moments.
