Battlefield 3 spectator mode

When playing a FPS game you will have moments of greatness, although some of these would be when you’re alone and don’t have an audience to see what you achieved. This is when you want to record those moments from a spectator perspective and show the world.

What game shoulden't have spectator mode? This should be a sytem feature.

Elwenil5253d ago

Someone please explain to me why spectator mode is important. Years ago when we played games like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, we would always kick any spectators since they were usually friends of someone playing and would be on comms with them and a second pair of eyes to warn them. Now suddenly everyone wants this mode? Why is that? What useful purpose does it serve? Or does everyone just want to cheat?

Hufandpuf5253d ago

That's probably why DICE is withholding the Battlerecorder. But seriously, It was in BF2, Why can't it be in BF3. I know FB2 is fully capable of implementing it. Also, it's not like BF3 is an MLG game (Though it could be with some pretty basic features) So they should just go ahead and give us the tool.

It doesn't "Spectate" either, it records and lets you watch past games. so any worry of cheating is moot.

I don't consider the Battlerecorder and spectator mode to be even close to the same thing. At least it didn't use to be. I am very familiar with Battlerecorder on BF2 and still have several files from our server of some of our epic Project Reality matches with other gaming communities. It's just a replay feature that was rediculously flawed with no ability to rewind if I remember right.

Spectator mode is when someone joined a server and instead of jumping in the battle, they chose to log into the ongoing match as a spectator where they would have either a free roving world cam, selectable 3rd person view of any player or a combination of any or all of these features. At least that is how is was back in the "golden age" of shooters.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein119d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator118d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1119d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
