Urban Terror To Go Stand-Alone With Enemy Territory

RogeR writes "Silicon Ice Development, authors of the popular Urban Terror mod for Quake 3 Arena, will be porting their mod over to recently made modifiable PC title Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. They have been discussing this for a while now with id Software and Splash Damage, and have decided to move forward with their plans. Basically, this means Urban Terror will, when conversion is finished, become a free stand-alone game, using Enemy Territory's beefed-up Quake 3 engine. Oswald, the project manager, said: 'Those people who complained of legit keys or not being able to find Quake 3 - rejoice, you will be able to play'."

Port?

Will there be a linux port, since there is a linux port of ET?

Mostly because they always Quake3/Half life machines running illegal cd keys. Plus with the HUGE boom of people playing free games at pc cafes like Gunbound and solitaire I bet theyll eat this up. Given the right advertising and support. This is exactly what people need too, a good free game with some good support ( silicon ice ) and a good base ( RTCW ). Games are getting to supscription based which is why a lot of PC cafes are closing down nowadays. They cant afford to buy licenses for every machine.

FWIW: I own a PC gaming cafe (dual-boot linux/winxp) - and I have ET. Great game (that runs just as well on wither OS) and it gets played almost every day (nothing like cs however). Looking forward to seeing Urban Terror on the newer engine.

BTW - all my HL keys are legit - I can buy it for less than $15 american.
