Whoever recorded this named the file; the recording itself carries no date. Treat it as what a person typed, not as a fact the archive verified.

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.

The Abusive vs Ex Nihilo

Here is a more recent one that I came across.  It shows the latest version of Abuse before we decided to call it quits.  Our offense was on fire tonight, and our defense held the flag for us, so the games proved to be quite successful.  It was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy it :D
