Halo 4 Multiplayer Won't Have Spectator Mode

4.6
343 Industries' community manager Jessica Shea has been answering questions on Twitter about the studio's upcoming game, Halo 4. Among the queries she's answered was a question about Halo 4's spectator mode—or the lack thereof.

Shea confirmed that there will be no spectator mode in Halo 4. To some players, the omission of a spectator mode flies in the face of the studio's goal to develop Halo 4 as a competitive title, but most expressed their lack of surprise.

Other players were less affected by the news. @GrimBrotherOne dismissed spectator mode as a "waste of bandwidth".

The official response on the Halo bulletin called full spectator mode a "bandwidth hog" that they did not want to introduce into the game's competitive arenas, but promised that there would be changes to the post-death camera.

Other players? It's pointless really, it's not that big a deal if it goes.

Konahrik Who cares about MLG not getting what they want. They are going to end soon, No one watches that crap


Completely wrong...

The MLG Spring Championship (June 8th-10th) had the largest viewer audience in North America ever for eSports.

Here are some stats more than 4.7 million unique online viewers over the weekend:

437,000 peak concurrent online viewers
More than 2.2 million unique online viewers on Championship Sunday
More than 20,000 in-person spectators

So I honestly don't see why you would say that no one watches that crap... Unless you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.


Also unless he has not seen the amount of sites, sponsors, and people connected to MLG, then he will have an ignorant view on the situation yoo, MLG has money in abundance!


Exactly. Pros in the League of Legends scene have reported to make as much money as doctors
