Imperial, from the 12-time STA and TWL champion team /VeX/,  has released an epic frag video featuring members of /VeX/. It’s 11 minutes of non-stop world-class frags from some of the best players ever, combined with outstanding editing and visual quality. Seriously, how can you go wrong with 60 fps, 720p video and over a year of editing?

Part 2 – Interlude

While you’re at it, check out the second part of Impy’s movie, titled “Interlude.” It’s shorter, but features non-/VeX/ players like Tarquin, and people who aren’t Tarquin. But you only care about Tarquin.

Have you tried it yet? What do you think? It’s the real deal?

The long awaited Urban Terror 4.2 is almost here and as I predicted some time ago, it’s coming this quarter. Frozen Sand stated that there is a public beta coming and it will come out someday between now and Christmas and, according to them, “It’s got the most new content and features since the original 2.0″.

“With all these changes, this is a new era for our game, and it can’t be simply named 4.2. We have decided to publish this next major release with a fully new name” said Frozen Sand, announcing the new name for Urban Terror 4.2, Urban Terror HD.

Looks like it’s the real deal, what do you think about Urban Terror HD? Are you excited? Do you think it will really bring Urban Terror to a whole new level?

None of that is true. As you might imagine we all have our lives, jobs and families. I’m working two jobs right now, being a Game Designer by day and a Freelance Designer by night. Finding time for Daily’Nade has become almost impossible for me in the last months, but that hasn’t stop me from working for you guys.

I wanted to do a much bigger annoucement than this but, I think I owe you some explanations.

There’s a totally new Daily ‘Nade coming and it’s gonna be awesome.

How awesome the new ‘Nade is?

How much can I teach you about Urban Terror? Sure it’s a deep game, but I have my own way to play and certainly it’s not the only way to play the game or maybe the right way to play the game. That’s why we had guest post, but that wasn’t enough.

That’s why Daily ‘Nade 2.0 is gonna feature user generated content.

You will be able to register to the website, create your articles and submit them. Everybody will be able to read and comment on your articles and also to rate them with a thumbs up / thumbs down method, so that great articles can stand up from the crowd.

Comments will still be registration free and all the current articles will be there too.

So are you leaving the heavy lifting to other people?

Of course not. I will be there to approve all the articles and maintain the website and eventually fix the bugs that will pop up. The website is being completely rewritten so it’s gonna be an all new ‘Nade.

Also the website will become totally ads-free. No more banners, no more publicity.

The aim of the new website is the same of the old website: unite and aggregate all the possible resources about Urban Terror. There are a lot of great players out there who are ready to share their thoughts and tips about Urban Terror. With your help we can grow together and serve as a great help for both the community and the game. Also it will support multiple languages, so that you can post your articles (or translations of existing ones) in every language you want.

Today, Daily ‘Nade still has hundreds of visitors from all around the world, and it is still the best and biggest resource for Urban Terror tips, tricks and tutorials.

It’s all good and stuff but when we’ll be able to see something?

Do you want to see a screenshot? Really? Ok, here we go.

Comment on what you think about the layout and the features. I most certainly forgot something, but it’s gonna be big.

I think that it will take me a month or so to finish the works. Meanwhile I would like to hear from you what you think about the project.

Are you going to contribute with articles to the new website? Tell us in the comments!

It’s the good old ‘Nade, just better.

Engine.

Decoy, media manager at Frozen Sand, described it as “loud, accurate, and lots of power”.

However.. seriously guys.. how many sidearms and secondary weapons can you possibly add? Well.. apparently tons and tons. Oh and by the way.. still no release date.. which seems far, far away (Q3 2010 hopefully).

The Video

A new weapon?

In addition to see dual sidearms, we can notice a Uzi from a screenshot of the video, which might be introduced in Urban Terror 4.2.
This would probably mean ANOTHER (unneeded?) secondary weapon.

How they will work?

We still haven’t official news about how they will work. They likely going to be used with Left/Right mouse buttons. My guess is that they will be a pickable equipment like Laser or Silencer that will double the number of sidearms (2 berettas, glocks or DEs) and possibly secondaries (this could mean that the Uzi is a new secondary weapon). We don’t know if accuracy will lower but probably it will, however this might seem the only downturn for now.

How will they affect the release?

The concerns goes to the release of Urban Terror 4.2. Adding new stuff always means more time to test it and balance it. We can agree that 4.2 it’s already late and should be released asap, that’s why many suggested that this featured could slip to the next release (4.3?).

What do you think about akimbo weapons? How do you think they will affect the gameplay? Tell us in the comments!

UPDATE

Looks like the DE will have 14 bullets instead of 7. If it keeps the same damage, rate of fire and accuracy it will become devastating.

The Fix

Fix the random crashes by running this command in a terminal: “sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio”. This will also fix similar problems with other SDL games. Here is a link to the Urban Terror Forums fix.

Help Us Out

If any reader out there knows how to fix the mouse issue, please submit the fix in the comments or on the Urban Terror Forum’s thread about the issue. Until a fix is found readers may want to wait to upgrade their Ubuntu install.
