The Free Q3 Engine FPS

Urban Terror is a "realism" based mod built on the Quake3 engine. It can be played as a stand-alone game or as a Quake3 mod. This means you do not have to have a copy of Quake3 to play this game. Is Urban Terror like Counter-Strike? No, not really. The game play is quite different, much faster playing than CS. We also do not have a buying system implemented, we don't defuse bombs or rescue hostages.
