Pick one confusing or costly round, not an entire match. Watch your first-person view until the first decision that created a disadvantage. Then switch to a teammate, defender and top-down/spectator view to see information you missed. Write one replacement rule for next game: a drone route, trade spacing, rotate call or utility timing. The replay is useful when it changes a future action.
What Match Replay is for
Review decisions from more than one perspective
First-personWhat did you see?Check crosshair, drone use, sound reaction and the information available at the moment.
Teammate viewWhat support existed?Find missed trades, unclear calls and timing that a single POV hides.
Top-down / spectatorWhat was the round shape?Check routes, rotations, flanks and whether the team had a shared plan.
Ubisoft introduced replay as a way to inspect games from multiple first-person and top-down perspectives, and current updates improve controls and navigation. Use that perspective advantage for questions you could not answer while playing live.
The ten-minute workflow
One round, one question, one replacement rule
Choose a pivotal roundPick a round lost through a confusing execute, a failed retake, an early death or a bad rotate – not every minor aim miss.
Watch your POV to the first errorAsk what you knew, what you assumed and what action you took because of it.
Switch perspectivesCheck teammate routes, defender information and the objective timing. Do not judge with knowledge nobody had at the time.
Name the root decisionExamples: drone died too early, no flank watch, utility used before entry, or rotate happened on one sound.
Write one next-game rule“Keep one drone for the flank,” or “second player watches the rotate before plant.” Keep it short and testable.
Review is not blameA lost round can include several mistakes. Fix the earliest repeatable decision first; it often removes the later problem too.
What to review by role
Ask role-specific questions
Entry / first contactWas the route tradeable?Check drone info, utility timing and whether the second player was ready.
Support / flexDid utility create space?Review whether the gadget was used for the actual plan or spent without conversion.
Anchor / roamerDid the defense gain time?Check position, escape route, information and whether a rotate had a purpose.
Replay files and controls
Keep the review practical
Operation System Override increased supported Match Replay files from 12 to 30 on PC. Ubisoft has also modernized replay controls for mouse/keyboard and controller. Save the replays that match a question you are working on; do not create an archive you never review.
Privacy and fairnessDo not use a replay to harass or accuse another player. Use normal reporting and support channels for concerns. Review your own decisions and team process first.
Round review templates
Ask different questions on attack, defense and clutch rounds
Attack reviewDid the information convert?Track prep drones, first contact, breach timing and whether entry had a nearby trade before the execute began.
Defense reviewDid the defense buy time?Track the first attacker callout, utility response, escape route and whether the retake was planned before site was lost.
Clutch reviewWhat was known at the time?Check time, objective, last known locations and the first moment the player could have chosen a better route.
This avoids the lazy conclusion that every lost round was an aim failure. A replay can show that a missed trade started thirty seconds earlier with a lost drone or a route nobody owned.
Squad review format
Keep a five-player review calm and specific
Let the round owner speak firstThe player in the position explains their information and plan before the team adds hindsight from other viewpoints.
Show one alternate perspectiveUse the teammate or defender POV that reveals the key missed trade, route or timing – not every camera angle.
Agree on one team ruleFor example: “The second drone stays on the flank,” or “the roamer returns once the wall opens.”
Assign ownershipName who performs the new action next match so a good idea does not become a vague post-game promise.
Useful languageSay “our trade was late because the second player was droning” rather than “you should have traded.” The first phrase creates a fix; the second creates blame.
Replay library
Save examples by problem, not only by win
With more supported files on PC, keep a short labelled library: one successful attack, one failed attack, one successful defense and one failed defense for each map you are actively learning. Winning examples show the timing you want to repeat; losing examples reveal the decision branch that needs a new rule. Delete everything else once the lesson is written down.
Avoid these
Six replay-review mistakes
01Watching the whole match passivelyChoose one question and one pivotal round.
02Only watching your POVSwitch views to understand trades, rotations and hidden information.
03Using hindsight as blameJudge the information that was available at the time.
04Fixing ten things at onceWrite one replacement rule per review.
05Reviewing aim onlyRoute, drone, utility and timing are often the real cause.
06Never retesting the lessonBring the rule into the next match and check if it helped.

Make the next round more informed
Replay turns experience into an actual plan. Combine better information, clearer squad roles and deliberate operator choices to improve the rounds that matter.

How many replay files can PC support?
Ubisoft’s System Override notes increased supported Match Replay files from 12 to 30 for PC.
What should I review first?
One pivotal round and the first avoidable decision: drone, route, utility, trade, rotate or objective timing.
Should I review every death?
No. Focus on recurring or round-defining mistakes and make one replacement rule.
Can a squad use replays?
Yes. Compare perspectives and agree on a shared next-game route, call or utility timing.
Does a replay prove cheating?
No. Use normal reporting/support processes; replay is primarily an analysis tool.
How long should a review take?
About ten focused minutes for one round is enough to produce a usable lesson.
What makes a review successful?
A short, testable rule that you apply in the next game.
