    I feel HG should have a command that when you die you can just watch the game, for example if you die to a hack you can watch them if record or if you die and you can watch your teammate.
    I am open to suggestions.

    I feel that then you would be able to give people positions away. Maybe if you were denied permission to talk then it would be ok.

    Make it so that you can only go so far away from your teamate, so you can't Skype himcand tell him about a trap you found at 50 100.

    Skype, TS3, slack, you get the idea.
    It would be used for ghosting more than spectating

    This topic was brought up many times over the years at MCPVP. The staff wanted to have this option but there was no real solution to a problem they found. The problem was that people could just tell there friends where the other people were, even if you take away chat ability there still is Skype and other communicating applications. Unless there's a solution, I'm sorry my vote is going to be no.

    There was a thread over this a while back, and I think it would be good to have a command to tell the person that you're spectating them. For example, you're in a Skype call with your friend and you die. So to help your friend out you spectate an enemy, which you would do a command like /spectate (player) then the player would get an alert saying "(player) would like to spectate you type /specyes or /specno" if they selected yes then you would have full permission to spectate them, having access to see in their inventory and possibly be able to sponsor them with items (that's a whole other discussion which I won't get into now) that way if you're trying to ghost for someone, you need their permission to be able to spectate them. Possibly making the limits to just 1-2 players you are able to spectate in each game. This is just a suggestion , if you have any suggestion feel free to comment or add on to this idea

    I can see that happening. I like the idea other than you have to type out the command.

    This has been suggested sooooooooooooooooooo many times before, and I have the same objections to it as before.
    Consider the following scenarios:

    BlueGuyARed dies
    BlueGuyARed calls friend on skype who is in the game
    BlueGuyARed asks friend "Hey. the guys who killed me have full iron and a lot of soup, I'll follow them for spectator mode and tell you their exact coords and if they set up a trap"
    Friend mines iron, gets more soup
    Friend kills team, wins the game

    I think you get the point. In fact, one of the reasons it was pretty hard to get staff on MCPVP, was that you had to be trusted to not do this very thing when an admin wasn't watching.

    It would really give teamers an even bigger advantage over non-teamers.

    Thats why I like the HG games, To many cheaters in other games. Hopefully Brawl keeps up the same Tradition.

    Problem with this as said many times before is teammates can spectate after death and ruin the plans of other players who are towering, trapping, maybe collecting iron, etc. I think the only way I could see people fairly spectating is if they were locked onto one player and one player only, and they had the same view as that player (I'm fairly sure it's possible to do this).

    I think you could only spectate your team members. This might bring more teams into the game and make it more fun.

    How is Brawl supposed to know who's your teammate?

    We could do it as major MMOs do it (e.g. SMITE). They enable you to look at your team memebers, but no more. For this to work, people would have be in a team (/team), but I think people can adapt to this.

    You can't force players to create teams. So a player could easily pretend to play solo.

    Or the very simple solution to this is:

    NO SPECTATOR MODE
