When its first version, beta 1.0, was released at QuakeCon 2000, Urban Terror was the realism mod with the most features and graphics completed.
On 25 December 2010 an Urban Terror HD Alpha 0.1 test was publicly released, featuring as notable change a new game engine (together with new weapons, maps and characters).
Gameplay
Urban Terror is billed by FrozenSand as a "Hollywood tactical shooter." It blends elements from games such as Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament and Counter-Strike. The realism in the mod is introduced through a number of changes: The number of weapons and other gear that can be carried is limited. Damage is also more realistic than in Quake III Arena, based on dividing the player target into discrete areas.
Numerous game modes are featured, including classic FPS modes such as Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
