A new technology replacing human labor is nothing new. Mechanization has been "taking jobs away" from humans at least since the industrial revolution. For a large-scale change as you mention, it would more than just a few months, so if driverless vehicles were to take over, fewer and fewer people would become drivers anyway.
The scary thing is not technology replacing humans, rather it's how despite technology humans still have bullshit jobs and why that kind of progress systematically benefits those already well-off instead of the masses.
That's the source for the ioquake3 engine, which Urban Terror uses and which was released under a GPL licence by ID Software. The actual game is released in a separate package (and they've been getting some hate for that, eg on the ioquake message boards)
If you haven't played it since the Q3 mod days, there's a bunch of new features and a rather lively competition community. The game is currently in version 4.2 with new game modes (e.g. a trickjump mode), animations and weapons, and most notably a cheat detection system which players have been awaiting for ever since Punkbuster was no longer supported.
From what I read in the forums, the anti-cheat system is a good reason to be worried about the code leak because it will again give leeway to developers of wallhacks and whatnot, when the the dev team had just started getting a grip on the cheating issues.
