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 — HT vs Vanguard (RQ) Bionic.txt (from the archive itself)

Here's a demo from our recent TWL match against Vanguard. Demand was high for demos of the match, hence the release. 

I got to play light d (mortar magnet) this map. Vanguard's HO was out to turn us all into tiny bits, and they did 

so from every angle. It was a fun map. I think I did an ok job on the LD. Where I fell short, my teammates 

suceeded, and that is a wonderful feeling. There's always areas I could improve on, and watching the demo now 

I cringe at some of the decisions I made. Oh well. Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome.
