Realistic pants?! Sorry, only knee jerk hyperbole allowed in here today.

I don't know 80% of current Halogaf.. wtf. Really wish Frankie and David hadn't gone overboard with the info dropping here. I miss the Halo 3 era crew..
I'm hearing you'll be able to watch Halo vidcos within CoD BO2. Confirmed?
Yea, can't wait to compare morning and afternoon reactions.

There isn't really enough players who're wanting to stream the game, who don't currently have the equipment to do so, that desperately want and would utilise a feature like this. Those players who're intent on streaming, and developing an audience, already have the equipment to do whatever Blops 2 will allow, and more (I'm guessing, there).
For the very hardcore group, there's streaming, for everyone else there's theatre which more than fills the void in that regard. Saying that, I definitely think a spectator mode is an important feature that would be worth the resources required to implement it.

no!Got a great PC now you're too good for us to visit every now and again?
Aye, people are a lot stiffer in the morning.

I can recall multiple instances since Halo 2 on the MLG forums (didn't really check out any others at the time other than occassionally Bungie) where people made quite vocal and well-put cases in favor of both theater and spectator features (and bots, too - going from UT to Halo, it always struck me as really odd). It's only such a massive deal right now because we are now in the age of easy-to-do streaming, as well as the removal from MLG's lineup.
For me personally, if they came out and just straight up said, "Hey guys, we really wanted to do it and had planned on it, but money/time wasn't there to get it done by our deadline," I would be satisfied. If there is something specific to the H4 engine or the available hardware that makes it technically unfeasible, then say so. Even if they can't get into hard details (proprietary technology or something), we could be told "Sorry, due to the design of the engine we decided to go with, this is unfortunately not going to be a feature than we can implement."
Avoiding, being sarcastic, making vague references to "bandwidth" is not the way to go.
I'd post a gif response but people will pout at me.Morning wood obviously.

i agree with most of this, but i'm not sure even spectator mode would be worth the investment. i would certainly like to have it, but i cant imagine the vast majority of players would never use it or maybe just once, briefly, to check it out.

Whilst I certainly don't believe it'd be adopted by the masses, it wouldn't take a ton of resources either, and the benefit it would give the competitive group is worth that. It's, without trying to distill the effort it would require too much, an extension of many things that already exist in theatre.
CoD could actually suck my dick and Halo would still be the better game.

Hey guys! Apparently autosentry has been spotted! Sorry if old...
Halo 4!
Woo!
some h4n poster said:could autosentry be a watcher?
Jesus christ. And it all runs at 60fps.
But hey, at least we got better lighting in Forge. Oh and Spartan Ops should be great, I can't wait to play bite sized linear Firefight missions for 3 minutes once a week.

Maybe you should skip Halo 4.

Halo 5 might have live streaming/spectator if Halo 4 proves to be fruitful.
80% of current HaloGAF is zoojoo posts. Get to know him and you've solved your problem.
Please hit the brakes on the .gifs and spam reactions. This will probably go unheeded, but I think things have leaped past a tipping point recently. We've always digressed a bit in our conversation as a community, but lately we've had pages - sometimes hundreds of posts - just fly off the rails with .gifs and random reaction or OT conversation. For the new folks especially - welcome. But please, this is a Halo thread. Can we keep it that way?
Fair enough.In this case, Im glad they pouted on you.
Stop talking about it and the problem will go away, in fact the problem has already stopped, it was also over a short stint of time.Please hit the brakes on the .gifs and spam reactions.

Tashi has a better chance of getting his dick sucked.
In 5 years, 2 sequels, and 2 different devs, Forge went from a grey lego block simulator to a grey lego block simulator with better lighting. Who knows if spectator mode will be in the next Halo game.

Some men.
I think 343 is using Halo 4 as the "bait", per se. Once the next-gen xbox comes out, they'll release Halo 5 with all kinds of nifty features like dedis/spectator.
I'm sure all this new stuff BO2 is doing is mainly on PC.
Speaking of CoD, I need a solid competitive PC shooter. Any recs?

As others have pointed out, at least Halo has a map editor, not to mention more flexibility in terms of customs.In 5 years, 2 sequels, and 2 different devs, Forge went from a grey lego block simulator to a grey lego block simulator with better lighting.

The trailer was shot using 360 footage, so, that's kinda doubtful.
Do watchers have any offensive capabilities?
