Urban Terror: News

Welcome to the Official Urban Terror™ Web Site

Urban Terror™ is a free multiplayer first person shooter developed by FrozenSand, that (thanks to the ioquake3-code) does not require Quake III Arena anymore. It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. The current version is 4.1.

Urban Terror can be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; somewhat realism based, but the motto is "fun over realism". This results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game.

No registration required: Download, install, play!

Adultery caught on tape!

A peek at the progress of making new player model animations for Urban Terror on UrbanTerrorOfficial. This time with a guest appearance from Laura, Sarah's sister, who happens to have an amazing resemblance to someone we all know and love ;)

Laura will not be available as part of the 4.2 release. She is standing in as a test bench to work on to apply some of the ideas and improvements to the animation system with out messing up the current work being done on the player models that will be included.

As you can see the key poses will be based on which weapon is held. With the aim to give the other players a clearer indication as to what weapon the player is using, as well as a closer tie into the 1st person perspective as to their current action.

This is not the complete animation, but the second pass to tie in the sequences based on a single key pose. The final and third pass will be to frame match as much of the animation as possible so it all flows through the animation smoothly.

Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated!
