    Spectator mode custom map mp

    Ubisoft please add a spectator mode to fc5 for hosting custom maps in multiplayer. in fc2 we could go into mp map hosting options, then select custom maps playlist, then go to advanced and select dedicated server, so your console xbox or ps would become a dedicated server and you can only spectate in the multiplayer on custom maps. we used this to watch map flow and fix things, plus we could just run a dedicated server overnight so others can play our maps when we are out of the house or sleeping. it's an awesome option. PLEASE ADD IT TO FC5 🙂

    I totally agree, besides testing a map for balance, its great for recording videos.

    That's a good idea. Also when joining a match that has already started. You can join as a spectator. Then if there is a spot you can join the next match.

    Of course this option should be decided be the host. If you just started hosting, The Host may want to have players join no matter what.espeacilly if you have Multiple spots open.. Then later the host can change options for new players to join in spectator mode if the match is full or if the match has already started that player will be in spectator mode. Thats If we have hosting...

    And as mentioned the host can be a spectator but also act as a dedicated server.

    That would be fantastic especially when it comes to recording footage without the HUD
