Urban Terror - Where Quake Meets Reality

http://www.urbanterror.info

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.

I still haven't managed to find them, despite some serious searching. But it can easily run in old fashioned computers, and I can safely say that 10% more processing and graphics power compared to Quake 3, and 20% more ram, is all you need.

PS: I am not jobless... Why is this thread looking too empty ?

[gxsaurav]

The quality is of OpenGL 1.3 ....sooooooo old

but this game is for lesser mortals running low end systems, and for those guys who prefer good competitive game play to graphics.

PS: try my suggestion of using the game in multiple OSes and seeing the difference

[The_Devil_Himself]

I prefer gameplay over graphics anyday,and I mean it.I have played some really old games and enjoyed them a lot(more than some visually better ones like crysis ).

I'll lecch this one within this week and see whats the fuzz all about.BTW does it support multiplayer too?I want to play some free multiplayer FPS games.

Too bad bro. Damn Internet Service Providers.

Anyway, here is a thing I noticed: Quake 3 based games have been downloaded a lot more times than normal since the Eee PC, the CloudBook, the gPC and the ClassMatePC have been released. Guess old skool gamin is still rocking.
