A guide to shooting
“I know how to shoot, you just press the left mouse button!” Well, no, you don’t. Know how to shoot, that is. Statistically, I would be right more often than wrong if I said you didn’t know how to shoot; over half the players I see in pubs are quite ineffective with their guns. Alright [...]
Why you should play Jump Maps
When considering a typical First Person Shooter game, most would agree that fast-paced, weapons-based combat from the (first-person) perspective of being in the game is the norm. Such is the case with Unreal Tournament, Quake, and the Call of Duty series. Urban Terror certainly captures that type of action, but there are features that make it unique among others. One such feature is the distinctive movement players can use in game: wall-jumps, slides, climbs, and successive jumping to gain speed (circle jumping, bunny hopping, and strafe jumping). Apart from making the standard game faster and more interesting, jumping in Urban Terror has become a game in-and-of itself.

This article will give you some guidelines for how to be a good field medic and be the MVP of your entire team.
Get more frags using your mind
Your mind is incredible. The cerebral cortex of the human brain contains roughly 15-33 billion neurons depending on gender and age, linked with up to 10,000 synaptic connections each. That is remarkable. When you do every action, your brain is the director and Urban Terror is no exception. There are some conscious thoughts involved along with inconcious thoughts and movements (you stopped to think where the grenade button is the same day you set the bind and started just pressing it). To succeed in a Urban Terror match you have to be focused and prepared. Sometimes are not bat hits… sometimes you don’t want to win. Here are a few tips to become a better player, using your mind.
