Unfortunately, not everyone can use it.
Why the fuzzy bunny? No idea.

Bullfuzz, you know why. It takes up a server slot.

I think the question becomes, "why does it take up a server slot"?

And then... all of a sudden... it all becomes space. And emptiness.

Hold on. How did they spectate that? It looks fantastic.
when that footage was taken, the pilots in spectator mode had first:
- had their own private servers, or had the permission of the owners to do such things,
- had requested permission from the developers themselves in order to use spectator mode,
- had to specify why they should be given spectator mode,
- had only permission to use spectator mode on specific servers,
- had to chat with scrimbot in order to initiate a spectator mode session,
- had to type in some janky console command in order to actually connect to a server in spectator mode,
- had to ensure that all participating players were already in the lobby, as a player in spectator mode would stop the server from accepting new players after the spectator joined the lobby,
- and hoped that they would be able to connect, as sometimes the command would not work.

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

FIRST OFF WHAT THE FUZZ IS A "SHILL"

Probably not enough, huh?

How do you even host a server in HAWKEN? I have a tiny spare computer with a Gigabit Ethernet port, 4GBs of DDR3-1066, a dual core Athlon II x2 235e processor, and an integrated ATI HD 4250
Probably not enough, huh?
Nobody can host servers. There were a few instances where the devs allowed you to rent one or w/e and you'd have admin access and such but I don't think they're doing that anymore.
Last time they announced they were allowing server rentals they wanted payment via meteor credits and it was $30/month. I bought $30 of mc and contacted them and such but never got my server, soo.. probably wouldn't recommend anyone do anything of the sort if offered again unless they allow us to use our own hardware, which probably won't happen :s
What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.

They were only hosted by adhesive, no private hardware.
They were costed based on the costs from the datacentre vendor which was for reasonable specs, not a potato.
I'd like if in future they could work out how to have a server executable you can subscribe to, that allows a private hosted server to appear in the game directory. Then we could pay our own compute costs and the server subscription would be lower. Problem would be what kind of network infrastructure they depend on and if that would be in the reach of private hosts. And they'd have to want to develop it : /

Even as a clan leader and a participant in competitive my initial request for spectator was denied.
Also, you're talking about a mechanic that required scrimbot, something that is/was developed and maintained by a community member, not a dev, just to operate. Your "mech" in spectator is also the size of like, a d class. It's a very rudimentary function.
