- Spectator mode = Would love to see it myself
- Demo recorder = Absolutely vital for esports and anti-cheat
Editor? Not vital at all. It's better to focus on the game itself rather than creating tools that less than 1% of the fanbase will use. Although awesome content can be made as we've seen previously such as
PR, Forgotten Hope etc, you also need to understand that Frostbite 2 isn't your ordinary engine. It requires a lot of people working on specific issues. You can't manage this with a small team of a few people.

- Working hit registration;
- Spectator mode;
- Demo recorder;
- some kind of editor, mod tools or at least something like forge from halo or something close to the farcry 2 map editor.
And the videos may change alot when the beta comes out, depending on some important stuff like how long the beta will last and how the first stage of the beta comes out (like in it's alpha ...**cof***bfbc2***cof...), AND if the beta is open or closed...
The more people play the more feedback you get and the more stresstests you can make to your backend servers..
Bottomline, i really hope you learn from the HUGE mistakes you made in your previous battlefield title...
