It is with much regret that I postpone URBAN RADIO for Saturday, December 14 because of a schedule conflict. Inside The Game are in attendance at two events, one in Texas, USA and over in Shanghai, China. Due to the demand of bandwidth required for both audio and video, all non-related events and shows were postponed.

This means we will be without URBAN RADIO for one more week, but will return on Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24. We will plan on having an Urban Radio Server of the Week up and running, along with all the news and notes from around the Urban Terror Community. Again, let say I apologize for this postponement, but we will get the show in and it will bring you up to date in what is going on.

As our gift to you, we will post a few new screenshots and some news on the web site later on Saturday to help carry you though this weekend.

For the first time in Clanbase Nations Cup history, they will adopt more than one game mode to play throughout this cup season. Unlike seasons past where the gaming was Team Survivor, Capture the Flag or Bomb Mode, the cup supervisors have decided to incorporate all three game modes into Nations Cup IX. "You see, a community is hard to please, and in Urban Terror's case, you have the CTF fans, the bomb lovers and the TS adherents. We believe the best way to conciliate everyone is actually to mix the fun! says kan, one of two Nations Cup supervisors who will oversee the cup, working with admins, GTV and shoutcasters to make this the best cup so far. There will be five qualifying rounds, Team Survivor on Casa & Abbey, Capture the Flag on Pgrounds, Bomb & Defuse on Sanctuary & Nimrod, Team Survivor on Uptown & Turnpike and Capture the Flag on Algiers to close out the first five weeks. The playoffs will be setup similar, with Team Survivor, Capture the Flag and Bomb & Defuse being played each playoff round. All nations are welcome to participate in this cup. If you want to be a Captain for your nation, get your application complete and e-mail it to Clanbase Supervisors. Enrollment for Nations Cup IX will close on December 28, so get going, get your team formed. For more information check out the Clanbase Nations Cup IX web site. Best of luck to all nations participating!

Due to a change in plans this past week with Oswald's wife giving birth Urban Radio was postponed until next week. We had scheduled a segment featuring one of the newest members to the development team. His alias is Fernando Gon?alves Bittar (aka Bittar) and he hails from S?o Paulo, Brazil.

While some developers toil on the nuts and bolts of the mod, the level designers continue to work on a plethora of levels. Most of the levels that will be released have been modified or updated from their previous release. Last week we showed off some work that had been done on Rommel (originally by Bar-B-Q) and Austria by Tub.



This week we present two other levels of interest, one of which is a virtual unknown. Why is that? Because until now no one has viewed of played this level inside Urban Terror. As many know, Tub has been a machine, working on problem areas, while improving the look and playability of his levels. Said Tub, "mmm, it's good to be finally releasing this stuff. I've been sitting on Austria for a year now and damn, I really want to see people playing it! For me this release will mean a final closing of the q3ut3 door."



The other levels being development that will be included in the Urban Terror release come from MaSheeN. You might remember him from his work on Eagle. His level Crossing has been featured on the web site previous. But we also get work from him we will see an all new level called Ambush.

All the questions posted came from the community after our initial news post last week titled, '20 Questions & 19 Answers.' Due to the nature of some of the questions, there might not be an answer or only general information provided. At this point, development is still in the early stages and plans could change. Thanks to the community for their continued interest and support. So, without further delay here are the follow up questions.

Urban Radio returned to inside The Game yesterday with Oswald at the helm to provide a long overdue update to the community. Much of the discussion during the show centered on questions provided to the development based off the news of last week posted here titled '20 Questions & 19 Answers.'

Urban Terror and the community has undergone many changes over the course of 5 years since our first release back in 2000 QuakeCon in Mesquite, Texas. The development team too, has changed over those years with many individuals working on the mod and providing their input, skills and talent to the game and community.

Join Oswald as he takes you "inside the game" with Urban Radio, the show that centers on all things Urban Terror. The show has been on hiatus for the past 6 months, but with an influx of news, along with leagues starting up, the show will return each week. As with past shows, we ask for community participation. Each week, we will (hopefully) showcase a community server as the Urban Radio Server of the Week. I believe all the bugs are worked out of my shoutcast system, so we could even be taking some calls during the show. We will also talk to development team members and get their take on development. All that and the latest news from the Urban Terror home front! If you are not able to catch the show live, all casts are made available on the 'Files' section at Radio iTG (no registration required). Information contained in the show will be posted in a Radio Roundup news post following the show. Watch for upcoming show information or type !radio in #urbanterror on ETG.
