Sergeant at Arms
Add an option in spectator mode to be able to see from another players point of view, follow their reticule, go into first person when they do e.t.c, similar to a lot of FPS games.
The current spectate modes, free look and follow, are good for watching the battle as a whole, and melee fights (too much spinning for this suggestion) but I feel cavalry and ranged combat would be better observed from the same viewpoint as the player doing them. In the current system, I find watching an archer or crossbowman mostly pointless since you can never see what they are doing, beyond shooting in roughly whatever direction.
This would give people the chance to learn, conscoiusly or not, from whoever they were watching, timing of lance thrusts, elevation for shooting at various ranges e.t.c, and would also keep people a little more involved in the rest of the round and help make death feel like less of a break in the game.
