UrT gets a nice write up in the Games for Windows magazine that I somehow receive for free. Anyways, under the “Free Play” section of the April/May issue, lo and behold Urban Terror gets a shout out. Thanks for the free publicity “Games for Windows” dudes!!

File Under: Reality Gets Bent

This Quake3 Mod deserves another turn in the spotlight—mostly because it’s now a complete, self-contained single download with no Quake 3: Arena required. Billed as “When Quake meets Reality”, the game tones down some of the move over-the-top speed and physical impossibilities of Quake while adding real-life weapons and recoil and increasing inaccuracy when fired for long bursts or while moving. Meanwhile, you get John Woo-Style wall jumping, power-slides, and ledge grabs. Damage is body-part specific, allowing you to cripple an opponents legs and make him limp around. It’s Quake leaning towards the more realistic end of the spectrum without going so far as, say, Rainbow Six.
