Urban Terror - Where Quake Meets Reality
*www.urbanterror.net
Introduction:
Urban Terror is a game based on the quake3 engine. Initially, it was a complete conversion mod for quake3 and you needed the original quake3 game to play it. Now, due to the fact that the quake3 engine has been GPLed(see my siggy), it was released as a standalone game, based on the io-quake3 engine. As we speek, its in version 4.1, and it seriously rocks today, as it is available for Linux, Macintosh as well as Windows, so all of us can play regardless of the OS we use.(Solaris and BSD have excellent linux emulators. They hardly emulate a thing, they just modify the environment a bit.) I am Sure you will enjoy this game from Frozen Sand, Inc.
Game Play:
Urban Terror is a multiplayer FPS game. It is set in rather realistic environments, and is hence named "Urban Terror", where "Quake meets Reality". Its supposed to have the same game rules as Quake3, with similar game types like assault, deathmatch, team deathmatch, Capture The Flag, capture and hold, bomb mode, Free for All, Follow the Leader, etc. But it looks rather like Counter Strike, and has almost exactly similar weapons. Weapons are chosen at the start of the round, and you can have acceosaries like Kelvar vest, kelvar helemet, lazer scope, scilencer, etc. Visit their website to get more information on the game and how to play it.
More Stuff:
Its quite a popular game, being one of the most favourite mods of all times. Its rated to be THE best free mod, and is often rated only next to counter-strike as the world's best game mod. There are dedicated servers running for the game, and you can create your own too.
Realism:
It has weapons with real names that look like the real thing. Shots fired at just any part of the body needn't kill. You can bleed to death, unless you apply bandage. Shots in legs, hands, etc can slow you down. A few bullets are enough to kill somebody. These are only some of the realistic factors in the game.
