Urban Terror, commonly abbreviated as UrT is a total conversion mod of id Software's first-person shooterQuake III Arena by Silicon Ice Development (hereafter referred to as Frozen Sand). It introduces many elements of the tactical shootergenre — team-driven gaming in more realistic environments.
Urban Terror 4.0
Frozen Sand released Urban Terror 4.0 on April 1, 2007. New features include "powersliding"[4], new weapons and player models, and improved hit detection. Along with the standard version that requires Quake III Arena, a stand-alone version was also released, which runs on ioquake3[5], an improved version of the Quake III Arena engine based on the GPLed source code of Q3A. The stand-alone version is identical and fully compatible with the standard version, but it does not feature PunkBuster support. However, it does support BattlEye, a similar software designed to prevent cheating.
It is unknown if Frozen Sand plans to release further versions of Urban Terror after 4.0, but the developers have hinted that they are working on a separate mod that will run on the Quake 4 engine (which itself was built on the Doom III engine). It is unknown if the mod will have any relation to Urban Terror or not.

I played it yesterday and it was cool (just like Counter Strike)...
so, do try it.

You haven't seen anything until you've seen real professionals duel in Q3 CPMA and OSP... it is insane, and that's the way the game is meant to be played.
