That is actually a very crucial point that I hadn't considered. Proper spectating is the main reason I occasionally play COD4 once in a while. After playing BF games exclusively for a long period of time you almost forget what a glaring omission it is to lack spectator mode.
If VU has real spectator mode then anybody with an aimbot, wallhack, no-recoil or any other hack with obvious visual signs will get banned instantly. Instead of the silly nonsense that goes on in BC2 with pretend admins banning supposed hackers with no proof, VU will be able to have REAL admins with REAL cheater demos for proof. Furthermore, if spectator mode is open to any player like in COD4, then players themselves will be able to check others they suspect and even record a cheater demo to upload for review by server admins. (Wow, that kind of squeaky clean game is such a distant memory that its almost forgotten.) In short, if VU has proper spectating then anybody with any sense at all will switch from vanilla BF3 to the completely hack-free VU.
I think the only reason people tolerate the lack of cheat protection (i.e. no spectator mode) in BC2 is because there isn't a better alternative for them to play. If VU has actual spectator mode then it will be vastly superior to BC2 with regards to gameplay integrity and not just graphically. If that is the choice people are presented with, then I think you are very likely to be correct that they will switch away from BC2.
Oh well. If I have learned anything in life it is that nothing lasts forever.
BFBC2 could have, would have, should have been great but it was produced by a shoddy dev and a greedy publisher and they ruined it because they were trying to make a cash cow like COD instead of a great game.
P.S. I guess I better start polishing up my BF3 skills eh?
