Problems with the current replay system

-Golden headshots do not show post patch: I have a demo right here that is supposed to be all headshots that isn't. Evidence

-You can't view the demo after 8 rounds post patch: It just stops playing almost like it has been paused but there's a twist, you cannot continue to play the demo. This is the cause of the latest patch updating the golden M4A1 skin because up until now I have been able to fully watch recorded matches without any hassle. Supposedly it stops a minute into the 8th round.

-You can't fast forward or rewind: You have to sit through the whole thing and if you miss one moment you have to watch it all over again, it's extremely annoying and nerve wrecking.

-There is no recoil or precision: If you happen to spray the gun the demo will not accurately turn the first person to where you are facing and who you are shooting at; It's like you are spraying at nothing and then you magically get a kill. When you single shoot the demo system will play without any recoil or vertical kick in the gun, It's like no recoil vertically and horizontaly.

-There is no way to disable the hud; I'm sure you've seen those video of CS/Source where the special effects combined with demo smoothing/syncing come into play. You cannot use sv/ae imported colors without affecting the bottom hud (I'm going to guess that Neof1tzx zoomed in the video to the point where it didn't greatly effect the video and the bottom hud was nowhere to be seen)

-You cannot play demo's saved since subagames: Ever since the first z8 patch you just cannot play those demo's. I don't know why but it's there and i'd like it fixed.

Also yes I know this is already been brought up however no one has cared to give a full-analysis on the matter. I don't care about semantic fail-arguments either, like "This game is free". So don't bother telling me about it.

    Honestly if I wasn't involved in CS:S right now I might have played this game competitively, I'm not gonna lie I like the options you have when your playing in the clan server.

    I think this game and the community just needs a little reinstating. Forum and ingame wise, I remember when doops was trolling it kept everyone in check about they're stance was in competitive play.

    Now I agree with alot of what DPloy has said here; Why can't it just be like the spectate mode ingame?.
