The long, long, long awaited Urban Terror v4.0 is finally here! There's a massive list of new features, but some of the notables include a complete independence from Quake 3 (meaning it will now be available as a totally free standalone game), in-game stats, a fat wad of new maps, and a heap of gameplay changes. There's a zip version as well as a proper installer.

More info soon.

Whale oil beef hooked, don't make me start playing this again Trog! aarghhh

im digging these free standalone mp games, great sign of the future.

1.3 meg/second, I love you Ausgamers.

ARG, now its 70% at 1 meg/second. I hate you ausgamers!

EDIT: On a more important note..

To play without Quake 3, you need a program called ioUrbanterror.
Get it from Urban Terror FTP

are my maps still in it?

for the lazy

is it still running on the q3 engine? i used to love UT

mac version?..

UT is standalone.
You need Q3 or a external file to run it.
ioUrbanterror is one of those exeternal files, as far as I know.
It comes in many flavous, linux, windows 0x86 and mac.

ioUrbanTerror has been released - the standalone version. nabzor them here - I'm testing them out now so will update when I have more infoz.

i'm so firing this up...
way to go

This is standalone because ID released the source for the Q3 engine right?

I miss true combat :(

from http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php

Due to other commitments, the BattlEye developer will stop supporting ioUrbanTerror. This means there won't be any more updates to BattlEye. There is now no reason to continue running a server with BattlEye enabled.

This means server admins should now choose between running a q3/UrT server with PunkBuster, or a ioUrT/UrT server without any anti-cheat.

We understand how the lack of anti-cheat can be very cumbersome and are also dissappointed about BattlEye not being finished.

Thanks to some good tips from the community, we have contacted another anti-cheat group that might start supporting ioUrT. However, they have other priorities first, so for now, we have to wait.

it's a shame no one figured out an easy way just to suck BE into Q3a, as it would've removed the need for installing ioUT. Still, hopefully game admins will wake up to this soon and disable that useless anti-cheat technology soon so that q3a/ut oldskoolers can play on some of their servers

why dont the old skoolers just install ioUrt?

why dont the old skoolers just install ioUrt?

Because, as stated above, you don't get PB support, I assume

What are the servers like for this mod?

I hear the local servers get a good ping, but the ones that are further away aren't quite so good.

1.3 meg/second, I love you Ausgamers.

I reckon, 900k/sec for Optus cable... Ausgamers is by far the fastest site I've ever been on.

fpot don't be a smartass, I mean are there plenty of local servers with people playing?

Yes people play it.

Well that was pretty fun, GA servers have good pings.

koopz is a noob though.

it's not polite to pick on old people, especially when you're the guy I had to keep reviving all the time :P

It's a bit of a random game, some maps were awesome as, others were lame.

Hello all - Been a while since I passed by here :D

Just to advise I am playing Urban terror again.

Just a quick request, any custom maps available?

I have searched everywhere and fond only a few.
