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 — readme.txt (from the archive itself)
This is an old demo from July 99 between KBD and OxY. A rather large flame war erupted due to this match, and it went on for quite a while. 
I (Eric) say two things during this match, one being "this is pudha edit" or something early on during the game, loose translation: This is pathetic. :D 
I was rather PO'd at that point. And at the end I say "nc" which is: "no comment" for fear something nasty coming out of my mouth. 
I can rest easy tho, dbx (the fool ;) ) gave his demo of the match to an OxY member, and the team comments after I dropped were there for all to see. :D
