So... I've stumbled across the demo function by RO2. And I'm quite disappointed...
When I record a demo I can't even see that I'm currently recording. This is confusing. Their could be a very small hint in a corner that you're recording a demo with the specific filename and the demosize. When I've tried to play the demo all I've got is a view of the map on a specific point where the leaderboards are after a game. I can't see my own gameplay and I can't switch the view if I'm not mistaken. It would be great if TWI would fix this and would add additional functions like...
It would be so ****ing great to do this simple thing. YouTubers would be very happy about it and it could increase the popularity immense! Let the community begin to roll this thing. RO2/Rising Storm deserves much more!

- ...complete controls for the HUD. So it is possible to disable the HUD or enable specific things like the killfeed and disable the rest.
- ...keybinds or a menu to fast forward, rewind, pause, slowmotion etc.
- ...a cmd to make a specific number of screenshots per second. e.g. like cl_avidemo in the id Tech 3 Engine.
- ...support for a (build-in) camera tool like RypelCam

Spoiler!
- Open Red Orchestra 2 / Rising Storm
- Open the console with F3 or ^
- type in "open *mapname*" (e.g. "open te-apartments")
- Choose a team and a class to spawn
- Open the console again with F3 or ^
- type in "demorec demoname" (e.g. "demorec test")
- Now walk around, change weapons, kill yourself with grenades what ever or spawn a bot with "addbots 1"
- type in "demostop" to stop demorecording (you've started demorecording with demorec)
- type in "disconnect" or leave the map othervise with the menu
- type in "demoplay *demoname* (e.g. "demoplay test")
Now the map should loud again and you can spectate yourself from other perspectives and watch yourself killing yourself etc. This type of recording could be possible in a full match with other players! It's like you're specating the whole game again!
You can disable the hud now with "showhud" or use the command "slomo" to slow down the game or make it faster.
