Replays: "Map Previews"

I believe that it would be a very good idea to let replays be uploaded with the maps. Only one replay of course. The replays would be seperate from the map, b/c I know I would rather see a map preview before I downloaded a map. The replays can act as map previews. Many descriptions are rather vague, or just cannot truly convey the nature of the map. Allowing mapmakers to upload replays would help greatly. Hopefully you will take this to heart.

Moderators would have to delete all the replays in the forums with each new patch

Um...bud...you have to have the map already downloaded and in the correct map folder in which the map was in when the replay was made before you can even hope to watch a replay....small technicality, no?

Hasn't this already been discussed? This is a mod forum... I don't find the replay stuff necessary. What you need to do is open the replay => upload it and so... I don't find this needed at all. People don't upload anything they find useless. If they find the description sucky they won't upload the replay either.

I haven't heard this discussed b4, but I suppose u could dl it with the map. I know I like to see the map sometimes, b/c the descriptions probably describe it well enough, but then u dl it and it is crappy *** **** when you host it or watev, and your stuck sitting there saying: "Well, the description was good..."
