CQC CQC Replay Mode + Free Camera

Ok this is my suggestion to improve visibility of the game on youtube and such services.

I think it would be a great addition to add support for replaying CQC matches with a free camera. That way content producers would be able to
showcase the fantastic action of this mode. I'm thinking it would work something like this.

1. In the end of the match, the client can download all events from the instance of the match (from server), meaning basically all input that the server instance got get saved
to my local machine.
2. from the cqc many I can start another gamemode, replay match, It would ask which match I want to load and it would start a local instance of the game mode and feed it
the downloaded data.
3. I could then fly around the match spectating, freezing, slowmo etc to showcase skill and events in the match.

I understand it would take some dev time ofc but it (+ a spectator mode) could bring CQC to the world of E-sports.

It's hard to find 7 other players in one instance as it is.
Adding more clients to P2P network would only make things worse.

A spectator mode would add a client to the network but not the replay stuff. Either way it's now very hard to showcase player skill as a content producer. You only have the cockpit view and you can only do it in real time. COD black ops did a great job on this. It probably elevated the popularity of the game. It could do the same for ED and it would be a good thing according to the player stats from steamdb.
