Suppose you are a fan of Quake III. In that case, you probably know that since that title, the developers have released many mods to modify many of its aspects and possibilities. And although most of those that have achieved fame is recommended, in this case, we wanted to stop at one of the users' favorites, as is the point of Urban Terror.

As we said, Urban Terror began as a mod of Quake III that, with time, became an independent title for many of the most addictive that have emerged from that original installment. As in the game that made its existence possible, in this one, we will also be able to fight against people from all over the world, trying to defeat them before they eliminate us.

How does it work?

Urban Terror has many game modes, some of which you will probably already know from Quake III, such as the team fights or the traditional capture of the flag, not to mention the sudden death mode. It also offers some inaccessible proposals in the original title, such as the modes allowing us to place explosives or follow a particular leader.

Beyond that, you have to bear in mind that the type of game, its duration, and the number of enemies and available companions will depend to a large extent on the server to which you have connected. In any case, the procedure has some points in common since you will usually join one of the parties, trying to complete your team's missions before the enemy succeeds.

In the case of Urban Terror, and as it could not be otherwise, we can select which group we want to belong to, and this time the choice will be between those who prefer to be a terrorist or those who decide to be marine. You must check which missions you must carry out and dedicate yourself to them since you can join the rival team when you choose to do so.

For the rest, no matter whether you have finally decided to be on the side of the marines or the terrorists, you have to know that in Urban Terror, you will find an enormous variety of weapons that produce additional damage to their characteristics. That's why you must take advantage of the most straightforward missions to know the range of each weapon and thus know which one to use when things get complicated.

The graphics of Urban Terror generally have to do with urban environments, being that the action takes place in places such as castles or large buildings, in addition to the courtyards or open spaces that give rise to them. In general terms, we can say that the graphic quality of this mod of Quake III is outstanding since both the characters and the weapons and the rest of the elements are well achieved. The movements also have the necessary reality quota.

Keep in mind

Urban Terror is not a game that demands too much from your computer, although you should not lose sight of the fact that the more power it has, the more fluid all movements and interactions with the different objects will be. For the rest, you only need a ZIP file decompressor at the installation time, although we are sure that most users have one.

The best part

Urban Terror has all kinds of reasons why we could recommend downloading it. However, if we had to mention some outstanding ones, we would have to talk about the wide variety of game modes, which in addition to a large community of users, allow that there is always some mission to carry out. And then, deciding whether we are a marine or a terrorist is also positive.

The worst

Although we have not found too many negative aspects in this first approach to Urban Terror, we have to say that it is not a completely different game, but in many moments we can see those details that remind us of Quake III. Although that is not a flaw, it is convenient to be aware of this situation to avoid disappointment.

Rating

Urban Terror is probably one of the best mods that have emerged from Quake III, one that stands out for adding new game modes and for the significant number of users always willing to play a few games. If you are a fan of the original game and would like to twist it with new characters, weapons, and scenarios, likely, this alternative has precisely what you are looking for.
