Watch it

This plays the recording with the actual Tribes engine, compiled to WebAssembly — the same playDemo() path the game itself uses. The engine is about 7 MB; it then streams just the game data this recording touches from the archive, as it touches it. Every piece is cached and shared across the site, so a second demo on the same map costs almost nothing. Nothing is fetched until you press play.

Readme — blah blah blah....txt (from the archive itself)
Hi there.

Here are three demo's from possibly the worst Tribe in the world, The 52nd Imperial Conscripts Battallion ( The 52nd ) battling the mighty Teleprescence Heavy Assault Team ( THAT ).

Both these units are from New Zealand.  THAT are very good... The 52nd are very bad.  These demo's were made from the viewpoint of Lootenant space, of The 52nd, and are a prime example of how NOT to play Tribes.

:)

Some stuff to look out for:

1.  Canyon Crudsade-

We had a hell of a time clearing the server, and several smurfs wanted to take up arms for The 52nd.  They were bound in chains and dragged away, however, praise the Empress!  Watch for The 52nd's patented defensive manuever, The "Tower Of Death" at the beginning.  How did this fail??? Well.. all i can say is, we must've been lagged!  er... yeah, that's it...the lag...

Also, this must be the first Tribes Demo EVER to have a New Zealander doing the traditional New Zealand haka on it ( check out Lootenant space's Global chat right at the start..hehhe, he doesn't know the words!!! ) .  A tribes first!!  And u saw it right here on Tribal War!!!!!


2.  Annihalator

Reeling under the THAT offense, The 52nd decides to implement another of their feared tactics.... The Zulu Formation, an Imperial move designed to make the opponent laugh so much they fall off their seats, leaving the sons of The Empire free to cap at will. 

The rest of this map is just a straight out slog for the Objective, nothing fancy here.  But, when the viewpoint goes to OBS, keep an eye out for Sergeant Biggs of the 52nd, and his "bulldozing" tactics.  I think he spent most of that map spawning, then just charging straight up the guts, finger depressed on the chaingun trigger.  hahah, he actually mows down several of his teammates, cos he just won't deviate from his course.

A TRUE 52nd, if ever there was one!!


3.  Arctic Wolf

Again, The 52nd try another manuever at the start of this map.  The result is... well, heheh, you can see for yourself....

And just where the hell was the repair pack on this one!!!?????

:p
