Urban Terror News

Official news channel

Beginning Sunday, August 19, ClanBase will start supporting Urban Terror leagues using the stand alone version of the game, thus not requiring gamers to have a retail copy of Quake III Arena.

This is what the release of the stand alone version of Urban Terror was developed for. Of course since the release on April 1, there has been the continuing question of a viable anti-cheat program. This will mean that admins will have more work when it comes to running the league.

For more information read the ClanBase announcement and go join the gaming on IRC at #clanbase.UrT. Thanks to the crew at CB and the Urban Terror gamers for making this possibility a reality!

Start Dates:


There are also various items that are still being discussed in the Announcement & Captains Forums that need to be taken care of before Season XIV starts.

These items include:


We're also thinking about the including of European teams. Depending on how many teams we have interested, we may do a seperate division. If you're team is interested please head on over to the STA site and express your interest in the Announcement forums or contact a STA Admin.

Thank you for your time,

The STA Urban Terror Admin Team

It's time for you to "get in the game" as Urban Terror and Clanbase gear up for another cup season. The sign ups for the Spring 2007 Open Cup have been extended through Sunday, March 25. Currently the Cup Supervisors are planning on using the upcoming release for the entire cup. This is great! So if you were waiting for an announcement on the release, I suggest you get your clan signed up immediately.

Unlike previous Open Cups, this season the featured game mode will be Bomb & Defuse. This decision was not solely a supervisor decision, but one backed by the Urban Terror gamers who participate in Clanbase. For more information and news on the upcoming Spring 2007 Open Cup visit Clanbase or #clanbase.q3.ut and talk to dan or holden.

Want one more chance to win a cup title playing Urban Terror 3.7? Okay, so that is more of a rhetorical question since we know you want the new version of Urban Terror. Rest assured we are doing our best to pack up the final pieces and release it.

But in the meantime, why not check out the Spring 2007 2on2 Hosted Cup sponsored by Novamania. Signups are open until March 23, currently 17 clans are participating.

This will be a 2v2 Team Survivor gametype with eLJot and D-men as your Supervisors, while J0E at FROServers will be providing the GTV experience. For more information visit Clanbase

Clanbase is back with another Open Cup, the Urban Terror Fall 2006 Open Cup. Preat sends news about the upcoming cup run, which could turn out to be smaller than usual, due to many gamers yearning for the new version of Urban Terror.

So, while you are still waiting for '4.0' get some last minute, 3.7 cup action in. Sign ups for the new cup season have just began that include last season's Gold Cup Champions, Tricky Klan 9of Portugal).

Chances are the new version of Urban Terror will be released during the upcoming cup season, which could pose some issues. Preat has already made mention of a Spring 2007 Open Cup and possibly a Hosted Cup. Stay tuned for more information and check out the Clanbase website or #clanbase.q3.ut on Quakenet.

I want to personally thank Headshot for extending the invitation to join in the Friday Night Fight! last week. I do believe everyone who played had a great time playing CTF on some of the classic Urban Terror levels such as, Turnpike, Casa, Austria, Proving Grounds and more! If you "got da ballz" Friday is coming quick. Join BD Clan and gamers of all calibers from the Urban Terror Community as we all "go ballz deep" for some Urban Terror CTF action. The first 12 gamers are guaranteed a slot, signups will take place all day Friday, so don't forget to register. The game server and TS info is available on the BD-FNF web site. Join #bd for more information.

We had a test last night, to see how an organized Friday Night Fights would go. It was a spur of the moment thing. We did manage to get enough people together to have a few good rounds of play. I'm sure it would have done better if it was organized sooner. After seeing the turnout we got this week, there is a good possibility that we will have them again.

This from Headshot of Ballz Deep #bd on ETG. Join Ballz Deep Clan this coming Friday for Friday Night Fights.

In case you weren't around last night for the fights. It was a very simple setup. People registered for a two map round. Then everyone got on teamspeak and we chose two captains who then picked the teams. Playground sports pick style. There were 3 rounds, each starting at the top of an hour. Each map would be 20 minutes long, with a 10 minute break in between to talk strategies or the usual piss, smoke or food break. As it turned out last night, we used it to add a couple more players to each team. All the action is scheduled to take place Friday, May 26 beginning at 6PST/9EST. There will be 16 slots for each round. The first 12 are guaranteed a spot. The extras will be in case someone doesn't show, or we decide to go 7v7 or 8v8. For sign ups and more information visit the BD Friday Night Fights page. Spread 'em bioyach. We're going ballz deep!

Skilled or just lucky? Know how to handle the heavy metal? We are talking the SR-8, skeet and screaming, "PULL!!!" The World Wide Urban Terror Skeet Shoot Tournament sponsored by Ballz Deep is back for their second year. What is skeet shooting? It uses the Urban Terror level, ut_skeetshoot2005 and one side of a team acts as skeets, and th other team as the shooters. The gravity is set so the skeet players float off on a skeet shooting range, until they hit the back wall or ground. In the tournament, the skeets will be played by bots and you will be shooting at them using the SR-8 or the PSG-1. The tournament is scheduled for Saturday, February 11 beginning at 10PST/13EST/18GMT and the finals will be held Sunday, February 12 (Time TBA). The tournament uses :30 minute time slots and each registered player will select one time slot from the server they wish to play on. When your time comes, you are required to show up and play two 10 minute rounds. High scores will be recorded and the top skeet shooters will move into the finals. Urban Radio on Inside The Game will be live during the finals on Sunday to cover all the action live and see who will be the top gunner in 2006! Last year's winner was Fab1an scoring 162 points in the finals. Other notable gamers who placed, [PIT]EraserEngine, -=BR=-Headshot, tarquin, chuckdizzle|poop, |it|Hybridesque, Katya, digismack, |fn|Oneleg and [LoK]Gone_Mad. For more information and details, check out the World Wide Urban Terror Skeet Shooting Tournament, it is open to any and all gamers. Also check out the FAQ and then Register for you time slot.

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!
