The simple solution is just to record exactly what gets transmitted over MP, and replay that.

Hmm, boy I should of thought of that :stressed: Hey wait a minute I did think of that didn't I? :P

Just copy the way it's recorded in Starcraft, by making each client log everything, and add an option 'Save Replay' after a game is completed. Then, add a replay menu on the title screen.
