The support observer (idea)

[H-master]

When playing a team game it is some times difficult to miss the smaller and the bigger picture. The idea is to let somebody be part of the team whitout having any controls.

The guy can then coach the team, spot snipes and drops and he can think of a overal strategy whitout the pressure of managing his own army.

The lobby need three observer boxes, two for the observers of both teams and one for the neutral observer.

Just an idea..

Cheers

H-master good to see you.
for one I support this idea 100%
it happens more than once that I get killed *sigh* but after that I start to coach my teammates.
usualy this ends up in a win or at least a slightly lighter loss.

so having this build in is a good option and as for most things in the faf lobby it is opinional one
team dont want it and given that the host listens it would not become a problem.

so best of luck with your idea.

I have already suggested this many times.. needless to say I am all for it.. sadly it won't happen

"Your assignment is radar duty"

Then also implement that you can see intel rings of teammates.

Would love to see a 3v3 twin rivers where Zock and BH both get to command 3x 1200 players

You can do it with cheats on i think ?

[Aurion]

You can observe and then go in the view of a team member with a console command (without cheating). This only works if everyone plays fair of course

I saw Zock do this in his lessons, but apparently at one point it still says 'X is trying to cheat!' if you do this.

A significant problem is that you can't chat as observer though.

[E8400-CV]

If you want anything above minimal teamwork you need voice chat anyway. Mumble is there..

Glad I am not the only one who likes the idea.

Well maybe it can be implemented one time when a FAF coder is in need of a new project. (Doesn't seem that way )

Would be cool if there could be made some extra pings (f5-f8) as a tool for the support observer.

I volunteer to help think those tools through.
