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.

Finland (mixed) vs Clan USR (United States Rangers)




Final results:

Stonehenge: 6-2
Snowblind : 5-6
Raindance : 1-4


First map was played on EuNet Tribes Server, last ones on United States Rangers Tribes -server. They had problems on Eunet and we had problems on their server but to be honest
on their server the conditions were more even. Snowblind was definately the most thrilling
map, a real horror thriller all the way through. Other maps were more or less ping related but surely great fun for both of the sides.

Three demos from this match survived and here they are:

Masta's Raindance as capper,
Masta's Snowblind as capper once again and
Nightwish's Snowblind as interceptor.
