Urban Terror

Urban Terror is a free multiplayer first person shooter. Unlike old versions, it no longer requires Quake 3; anyone can download it and play for free. Urban Terror is available for windows, linux and macintosh, the current version is 4.1.

Urban Terror can best be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; it is realism based to a certain extent (environments/weapons/player models), but also goes by the motto "fun over realism" (fast gameplay and lots of action). This combination of reality and action results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game.

Once you have the game downloaded, extract the zip file.
