There's two new Urban Terror events we would like to tell you about:

Check out this forum thread for more info about the Icy Jumps competition.

Check out this forum thread for more info about the Urban Zone Summer Cup.

ClanBase CTF Open Cup Final: Today(sunday) @20CET/11PST/14EST!

Another Urban Terror cup is reaching its end and another final is coming around. Two of the favorites of the cup are meeting to decide who will leave with the gold and who will only get the silver. just Fraggin' is meeting Puff for a final that CTF fans simply can not miss. While jF is definitely the favorite of this match in everyone's mind, Puff has shown a very strong increase in their CTF skills those last few weeks and are certainly eager to get a gold medal after their bronze in the TS cup.

Update:

jF wins! Congratz!

Community and forum member 2.f4 created a promo video for Urban Terror, which we would like to show off:

We received the following message from wdp/Chani:

There is a new Urban Terror league arround, making the game more interesting to new players and small clans. Instead of doing a CTF, Team Survivor or Bomb Mode league, we're going for a Team Death Match league, open for clans and so called player-groups (unclanned players who team up). You and 3 friends can start in this League.

You need at least 4 Players. If everything goes well, the first Tournament will start at July 5th, 2008.

More info: www.urt-echain.eu or in our forums.

Here are some examples of the new versions of the player skins for 4.2:

[T]BludShoT provided us with the following information:



The first 1v1 Tournament of Terror has just wrapped up over on the Team Terror website. Congratulations to the winner, Zoo. Check out the tourney site where you can view the bracket and the match results and demos.

The second 1v1 tournament will be starting soon, and this time we're adding a European tourney as well! In fact, we'll add a tourney for any continent that enough players sign up for. (Players will only play against others on the same continent, there will be no Euro vs American matches.)

The 1v1 is a single elimination tournament that follows a best 2 out of 3 format, 10 minute maps, 2 minute rounds. Register now for the second 1v1 Tournament of Terror!

Registation is also open for our new North American 2v2 tourney.

We currently have an exciting new project on the table. We need a skilled character and weapon animator to help us realising this project.

So, if you got what it takes, please contact us. We'd love your help and would love to see your stuff.

We can be contacted through IRC (#urbanterror on ETG) or through a private message in the forums. Send it to BladeKiller or TwentySeven..

PS: Do you know someone awsome at animating? Please, go ahead and recruit them for us!

Thanks to Joe Barr (MtJB), Urban Terror has received a review on Linux.com. It seems to be very positive.

Check it out, right here!

The machine running the website, forums and master server has been re-installed. Also, the ip-address of the master server has changed. If your game server hasn't been restarted yet, it still uses the old ip-address, which causes your game server not to show up in the master server list.

The new ip-address of the master server should now resolve correctly. Game servers need a restart before they will resolve the new ip. Please restart your game server to get it to show up in the master server list again.

We would like to thank Ghozt for his hard work on all this!
