Urban Terror

I know, I blogged about Warsow and how amazing it was, but the game I’m most hooked on at the moment is Urban Terror. Seriously amazing game, great graphics, and some of the best gameplay I’ve seen this side of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. It combines some of the movement techniques of twitch gaming (powerslides! whee!) with the more measured combat of Enemy Territory and Call of Duty. It also focuses more on urban and suburban environments than most games emerging from the Q3A scene.

Download it; it’s big, so please do everyone a favour and use Bittorrent. (I currently have a share ratio of 11; you’ll probably be getting some of your bits from me.)

Urban Terror runs on Windows (of all stripes), Mac OS X, and Linux (I currently have it set up in Ubuntu). It’s free. You don’t have to be a gaming genius to play it, either.

    I have to say, there’s a definite attractive element to Urban Terror. It seems so…. EVEN… maybe even FAIR. You don’t have things like double jumps and such to make survival a matter of smashing the arrow-keys. Stealth and good aim are highly valued, rather than luck and what weapons/items you happen to pick up.

    Now, if teams would actually work with a strategy….

    Yeah, finding a good server with people who play in sync… with actual teamwork… is hard.
