    Like all good stadia have. Put a few in each stadium so that they're visible to pros in most locations. It'd be a cool contextual way of getting info to the players, like the stadium clocks already do.

    You could do loads with them:
    • Have a player cam following the current high-scorer... some games put markers on players with killstreaks, making their location visible to all on the map. MNC could do it with a big screen.
    • Or you could just follow a random player, putting the heat on them (esp. assassins) but giving a huge boost if they can pull off a taunt or a kill while they're being watched. But you'd not make them aware they were being filmed unless they looked up, which would create those 2 OMG the camera's on me hi mom!" type surprises.
    • Show replays.
    • Show promos for the endorsements.
    • Profile a pro, telling everyone about their endorsements.
    • When a pro spawns bots, we already get one of the pros on the other team shout out that they're coming. Instead you could have Cantor say 'These <player's bots> are sponsored by <one of the player's endorsements>'. And show a promo vid of the bot.

    And then of course, you'd need a camera drone to do the filming. One that's easy for the assassin to shoot down, so that it's not such a big nerf on her stealth. Or you could shoot it to stop someone else from scoring big money by taunting it. Or maybe you could get its attention with a taunt, and then go kill something for even bigger cash.

    This is an awesome idea.

    Yep, we tried this during development and it was a pretty big performance issue. There was a screen on either side of the map, where the giant Hotshots and Icemen logos are right now.
