Urban Terror

Fun Over Realism

Urban Zone is hosting a new KNOCKOUT event on Sunday, May 7th at 15:00 CET. The event will be streamed on twitch.tv/urbanzone and the reigning champion, Crimzon` will be defending his belt from 2016 (video).

Signups will be done through the Urban Zone website, this news post has all the details. The first 15 to reply on Wednesday, April 26th at 12:00 CEST to it will get a spot. But if you want to "skip the queue" you can subscribe to Urban Zone's twitch channel here. Aside from supporting future streams you'll also reserve a spot in the KNOCKOUT tournament! If you aren’t one of the lucky fifteen, don't get discouraged and sign up anyway – some people always drop out and you can take up their place.

Happy fragging!

It's been a long time since we announced this update but, with all our efforts being directed to Resurgence, it took us some time and dedication to leave the fancy Unreal Engine 4 development environment to push one of the last updates of the ioQuake editions of Urban Terror.

We hope that you will enjoy this small 2017 update in which we tried to fix the most important bugs known in 4.3 along with a few enhancements for the new GunGame and InstaGib modes.

Once again we would like to thank the numerous players who reported issues on our GitHub repository, as well as the developers who contributed to the engine and menu files. Many thanks to Iye, Fenix, Karnute, JRandomNoob, lonkamikaze and Thomas Brierley!

From all the FrozenSand Dev team, may everyone have a violent killing spree of a Christmas and a bloody mess of a New Year.

New Urban Terror tutorials down the road

Before coming up with our end of year greetings, we have some last minute candy to share with you.

The old folks hanging around for some years can remember The Daily Nade webmagazine. Providing a global coverage of the games' news, it was also offering on a regular basis some tips and tricks for its players.

Some of you might also have heard about rapid`, a young German player known in Urban Terror's top eSports spheres for playing with Glory and Team Germany. In the Daily Nade's spirit, he decided to dive into the big ocean of gaming tutorials and delivers us today his very first piece.

For this number one episode, the focus will be the game's most popular sidearm: the Desert Eagle.

Enjoy and maybe learn something! As glory.rapid` likes to say train or keep crying!

It has been 10 months now since Team France won for the 5th time the prestigious NationsCup, positioning themselves 2nd behind Team Portugal in the all time Nations' Rankings.

The very first NationsCup on Urban Terror 4.3 calls for us and can't wait for the action to kick off! Those of you who would like to live again last year's matches can head straight away to the Urban Zone YouTube channel, sit comfortably in your chair and just listen to Seven, Jehar, Ikslorin and Maku's voice.

Schedule

Without further waiting, here's the event's timetable:

Captain Votes

We will be going through the captain designation process in the UrbanZone forums in a few days. Note that players are still in time and free to apply to become the captain of their country, but competition experience is, of course, expected. The NC staff is also looking for people ready to help them in the organization (GTV cameraman, newswriter, etc). So please step up if you want to help!

If you want to be the captain of your nation or region send your written application by mail to nationscup@urban-zone.org by midnight of December 18th. Add the following elements to the application: UrT auth, country, age, clan, and other relevant information which may help voters decide whether you're the right person to be their nation's captain.

Stay tuned!

FS HappyDay: It's been a (long) while since my last blog post but I haven't been inactive. As you might have seen in chump's post, we do have new flag models for Urban Terror.

They consist of a pole, a simple, rectangular flag cloth, poin […]
