spectator features

Would it be possible to implement a hotkey to "Show all HP bars" (buildings/units)? I like to record games as a spectator and in big fights you lose track of which units are damaged and which not, and I cant just click through all of them. This key would of course only work as a spectator, as finding the damaged units in the enemy army is a skill in itself.

 

Then I am thinking about a 9th/10th slot in the game lobbies, to spectate 8 player games.

 

Also, please make sure that you can have spectators in the upcoming ladder!

 

thx :)

some kind of replay function would of course be great, but i think its way too much work to implement. still i dont see any risks with spectators being allowed in ladder games. just dont let people spectate that you dont trust.

The ammount of ways to play dirty is always bigger then playing nice. For fair play, your only choice is to trust others. Of course it would be nice if spectators don't give away your tactics. But cheaters always find a way.

Forest fires is quite a different proposition to many other ts maps. It requires good team play, and an awareness of the whole battlefield situation. One particular mistake many people make is to think of it as four 1v1s, when really, sometimes it's not always the best thing to attack your direct opponent.

I dont think having spectators for ladder games would be a good idea. Spectators could message players with substantial information that could sway the outcome of the game. The HP bar is a good idea though

I agree. I've seen this abused in Counterstrike. During my days in college, there was one guy on my dorm floor who had 2 computers. He set up one for himself to play online and another as a spectator. As a spectator, he could see everything that was happening around him.

 

In fact, with this feature... one could do it with a desktop and laptop. Sign online as a player on the desktop. Sign online as a spectator on the laptop. Then you simply look back and forth... cheating.
