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.

That doesn't matter 343 did a good job on Halo CE Anniversary.


really people said it wasnt that good but i never played it


The graphics were still bad on the anniversary version but people said it was fun because it was "original", but 343 is doing an outstanding job with halo 4


hopefully i mean if its good i will buy it but i wont get it until i ply it


Just to let you know Bungie transferred all of the people who where working on the past halo games to 343 industries so expect the game to be good.


So bungie are basically making this game? lol
