Trivia / Urban Terror

• What Could Have Been:
  • 3.0 was going to be a complete overhaul, changing the theme to Cold War and differentiating the teams further (AK-103 was planned as the red team–only equivalent to M4 rather than a unique weapon on its own), replacing all player models with much higher-quality ones, and most importantly, doing away with game modes entirely — mappers were to script arbitrary missions for their maps. Extensive fluctuations in the all-volunteer development team resulted in all of this being scrapped.
  • The successor to the 3.x series was going to be ET:UT, a port to the free standalone Enemy Territory multiplayer component for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Having started out promising, it stalled during development, but thankfully around that time id Software released the Quake 3 source code, saving the Mac and Linux players (RtCW was Windows-only) and enabling the standalone version of today.
