when's the next release date, mr. headshot.

Post by **Headshot** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 7:53 pm

They haven't said yet.

After problems in the past when announcing a release dates, they have decided to not say anything until they are certain.

They have started this 27 days of Urban Terror. I have to assume it is a count down to the release. However, I have noticed days being skipped or not counted for one reason or another, indicating that they haven't set a date. It's probably going to be released some time in September. Just in time for players to leave the bbq's and beaches, and return to games this fall. This is all speculation of course. I'm just a groupy. :-

i hate the mod Bid For Power... I used to love it.. but eventually i got tired of it.

I'm really interested on Urban Terror.

Uhhh...modds I'd suggest. Hmmm. The Hunt Mod is pretty freaking sweet.

Hmmm. Q3 rally is a fun vehicular racing mod, especially with other people (if you fags wanna try me, I'm gay, i mean GAME)

Urban Terror is...fun...Superman_b3, blah blah blah.

Afterwards is one of my favorites.

On topic: apart from CPMA, I rather enjoy a game of Ultra Freeze Tag every now and then. A pretty sophisticated and fun mod IMO (unlagged, server side demo recording, etc.).

Is the next urt finally going to be released as standalone? If so, pure win :up

I will definately be trying it.

We still aren't sure if it's going to be stand alone. Oswald had a radio show yesterday, and all he really said about the matter was, "if anyone has any ideas to make it work with punkbuster, to let them know".

It sounds like the cheat protection is a big issue with making it stand alone. They wouldn't have the support from punk buster.

Post by **dzjepp** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 3:49 pm

lol punkbuster. pb dosen't really work anyways. And the surely have stopped sending out new updates for it under q3 a long time ago, or at least at this point it's almost non-existent. And look at the hackers, did they ever stop producing new updates? No. They have had the upper hand for a looooong time now.

But anyway, if I recall there is at leat one or two 'community driven' anti-cheat mechanisms, one if called battleye - http://www.battleye.com/index.html

It was used in warsow, I'm guessing it's free to support in a game? Don't think the warsow guys would be paying for it.

Who knows how well it works, but maybe it's still better than nothing. Why not ask oswald and see what he thinks of it.

+JuggerNaut+ is right. You can't compare Rocket Arena to Urban Terror.

Rocket Arena is really only a weapons modification to Q3. Urban Terror is a total makeover of Q3. It still uses the same game engine, but doesn't look anything like Q3.

ultra freeze tag is pretty fun. i played in a freeze tag tdm tourney with bdi a few years back and it was a blast (even though we weren't that great).

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 9:27 am

Ultra Freeze Tag is awesome.

Post by **ermonski** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 6:51 am

freeze tag? hmmm... reminds me of a game when I was a kid back then...

No it doesn't but you if do a search on the promode.org site you'll find bot files for the Clan Arenas in the RA3 maps, and scripts for setting up Clan Arena play in CPMA. I will say this though .... they don't rocket jump at all so it'll be pretty much a target practice only thing if you do set it up.

how about UrT? i heard it's going to be a standalone game now... does it support bots?

I'm pretty sure it will still support bots, but nothing new has been done to them.
