Add Live Streaming feature from game's level
There is simillar idea posted here http://feedback.worms2d.info/forums/5998-worms-armageddon/suggestions/1598719-spectate-already-started-games?ref=title its just very unclear.
One of the best promotion for the game is possibility to watch replays, fan made movies and ability to spectate live games which is, at this moment only possible with external software/sites that arent known for everyone, especialy new players. There should be unique and easy feature for WormNet 4.0 design that allows players to watch choosen matches directly from the game's level. Host should be able to enable live streaming from the lobby menu ingame to put in on the Live Streaming list somewhere on WormNet. Overall design can be very complex but doesnt have to. For example, enabling live stream feature should require some text explanation which could be visible on the streaming list on wormnet (Player A vs Player B / event name / whatever). There could be even some kind of voice channel implemented ingame for those who would like to comment the game. Its all up to whats possible and whats really needed. Actual game stream shouldnt differ from the game replay (ie: visible weapon menu's). I wonder how hard and problematic could it be to implement. Im sure it could at least improvethe WA's quality a lot.

Also forgot to mention that potential new players could find it very helpfull and entertaining. The live stream with visible weapon menu could be quite problematic too, considering possible abuses from the players.
