    Multiplayer FPS video games would make great spectator events. There are many funny things that happen that could be replayed from the first-person perspective or from a floating third person perspective.

    I'm thinking tribes... 2-3 people crossing the field to assault the NME base and they skirmish with a group of defenders. Very interesting indeed!!

    That wouldn't be that hard... just let several "camerapeople" in as observers, and tap their video-outs. And you can have one at CT base, one at T base, a couple at the most strategic spots on the map and a couple following the action, and continually alternate the view among all of them, including the players when appropriate.
