Standalone Replays...

orh ave it show the score and your kills >.>(i dont get to document my awesomeness in the right way )

I realized I can't fast forward, nor rewind. Is that just me or everyone? If everyone, then it would be cool if they bring out that function. We then looking at the replay in my angels at the same time. But yeh, having fast forward and rewind would be awesome and helpful.

The replay isn't actually a VIDEO.

It's game data recreated for outside sources to view. So an outside player would essentially have to include a reader for the game data, to be able to recreate the maps, the players, the graphics and then load up positional data, and firing rates targeting etc.

It's also one of the reasons for the lag, and some of the inaccuracies with the program. Because sometimes laggy replays are actually caused by general computer and internet lag from the user who's currently playing. But the file size is lower, 6-7 megs is the largest replay I've seen which is much easier to handle than video files.

Video files are massive files and a 30 minute match would be too big of a file to viably use for the mass market and general user.

However it being game data that does give us some options to improve on some of the aspects. But that is a time/priority thing. A function which is there, but isn't high up on the priority list.
