Описание: Tribes World Cup
[ENG] England vs =USE= US East

Map: Snowblind
Game type: CTF (10 v 10)
Played on the 27th of February 2000
from Labatyd's PoV

I understand this was a very good game, based on the chat afterwards. Being chosen as naked light O on tower duty means I didn't get to see much! That sounded a bit salty, but actually no, I was proud of playing for the 'national' team, and occasionally pleased with my performance.
That said, there were some huge groaners in there from me!

Sadly I don't have the second half of this in my archive, but I seem to recall we lost the second round which was played on US servers.

** Beware, here be spoilers

Despite having a notable ping disadvantage, team USE beat us 3-2.
They clearly had some excellent players. How Onlyjer chaingunned me so effectively with that ping I will never know. Well played sir.
As it was a cup game, I believe we were eliminated after this, so no further participation from me.

** Technical stuff

Noticed that recordings no longer played in Tribes v1.11, so had to bite the bullet and upgrade to v1.40.655. Sounds good in principle, but brought a long a long list of awful HUD changes that I had to remove from the config.
