Looking forward to this ET mod.

Exiting project… i think the concept of urban terror is cool…but it lacks some game play (and…imo its just too boring…)…, now with ET i hope they really make something worth playing.

It is going to be a 1:1 port. Meaning if you don’t like the game play now, you are not going to like it any better under the ET engine. It will play exactly like q3ut.

Hrm, then why are they bothering with it? ET uses the Q3 engine anyway, so if they are porting it to ET, they must intend on making use of some of the ET-specific features, or else there’s no point whatsoever. BTW I’ve never played UrT so I dunno anything about it, just my $0.02

Nope. 1:1 means it will play just the way it plays now with the Q3 engine. They’ve made that pretty clear in their forums

You would make the 1:1 conversion since ET doesn’t require any CD key or other external program to run. To play Urban Terror now, you have to own a copy of Quake3. Porting it to ET removes this restriction, potentially increasing the number of players.

Then it makes no sense. Oh well, anyway I just hope they get discouraged and abandon it, because I don’t want it to take over all the ET servers, which it will just because it’s a new mod therefore every admin will pounce on it without asking their visitors what they want…

Or am I just being paranoid, and it will not be able to be run as an ET mod, but will have it’s own seperate servers, etc? I’m ignorant how it will work because as I said I’ve never touched UrT. I think I’ll go give it a try right now, just for the hell of it.

no cents makes sense

• Free game (meaning you don’t have to buy q3 to play). Even if there were no new features in ET, this would still make sense.
• Engine improvements/bug fixes. Things that come to mind are www redirect downloads, foliage, atmospheric effects, shader improveents, optimization for modern hardware…

Gameplay is 99.9% defined in game code. They are not using the ET game code, they are using the URT game code. So none of the stuff that you associate with ET gameplay/physics/classes/weapons will be a part of URT/ET. Now they might find some things they like in the ET gameplay and port them over (Oswald mentioned something about stopwatch mode) but that is completely independant of the engine change…

I imagine the places running Urban Terror Q3 servers will change to Urban Terror ET servers.

it would be a new ‘game’ in its own, seperate from the q3 version, as psycho al says. And a free q3 engine is berilliant thing for mod-developers, and thats why many will change.

Still waiting for ETWolftactics/Fortress ya mofo… get to work!

It’s like CS merge with ET…

Urban Terror has been around for a few years though Padde, and it was much more fun than CS when I played (I understand more recent patches have shafted it though).

Hello all- I am extremely new to ET. I have been a loyal Urban Terror adict for over 3 years. The reason I am writing is so to share my aspect of the game for those of you who haven’t played the game.

I just recently started playing ET. (since the announcement of changing over to the ET engine.) btw the single one reason for the port has already been stated…the engine is free. no cd key needed. ( have you tried to find a copy of q3 retail lately? hah!! gl.

I do love the way ET is team/task oriented. It is nice for a change. However… the difference is:

UrT is very fast and very precise. (even tho we like to complaign about the hitcode ) The game physics is like no other. This game is the closest thing that actually keeps up with your own reactions. Climbing… ever wonder what it would be like to CLIMB up on top of that ledge? Well we climb like the swat monkeys that we are. Ladders- anyone notice the weird up/down "which way am going now " Ladders. UrT’s ladders are easier…up is up down is down (nomatter where you are looking)

Basically the two games are on 2 different sides of the FPS realm. We all need to switch every now and then and the differences in the two are definitley enough to reward the occaisional back and forth. But IMHO UrT is a game that you can get owned on quick if you are new to it. You must have maneuvering skills and you must have firing, reloading, bandaging, (forgot to mention that one) skills, because if you don’t you’ll find yourself wishing for the slower task oriented life again. Actually if any of you would like to see your battle sense increase quickler, then use UrT as your gym and I guarentee improvement in ET.

Just some thoughts. Keep in mind tho before you all flame me in defense of ET… I am not saying that ET is bad at all…actually I’m kinda playing it 4-6 hrs a day right now. I’m just observing the differences with a little humor. that’s all. – love ya’s all – L8R

My only flame is PICK ANOTHER NAME!

rofl… Hey sry dude I’ve been using this for over a year now in UrT. at least I’M the 8|uP one right? hehe…

BTW… If you really would like to see for yourself what this game is like here is the best Urban Terror movie out there (IMO)

Q3UT-Bulletproof.avi and the long awaited sequel, Bulletproof_Chapter_2.avi
