Urban Terror started as a realism based "total conversion" mod for Quake III Arena. Nowadays, Urban Terror is played using the free, stand-alone, ioquake3 engine modified, which doesn't require Quake III Arena, in addition to being an add-on to id Software's Quake III Arena.

The gameplay is very fast-paced and inspired by Hollywood movie depiction of gunfights. Development is done by an invite-only group of hobbyist game designers. Forks are prevented by keeping the assets under a Freeware license. It has a small but active e-Sport community.

Configuration

Urban Terror comes with default key assignments upon installation. You can change these key bindings through the user interface by navigating to SETUP -> CONTROLS, or by editing your configuration file directly. Alternatively, if you're in-game and want to adjust the controls, just press the ESCAPE key and select the CONTROLS option that appears.

For more advanced users, you can also access the Quake III console (typically by pressing the tilde key) and enter commands directly at the console prompt. For instance, you can type /bind x ut_radio 1 1 (where x represents any key you choose, and remember to include spaces between the 1s).

An overview of key assignments and bindings can be found in the game manual.
