Winter Cup 2012
Back to top Back to main Skip to menuIt's that time of year again and here we are with yet another Winter Cup. And this one will be special, have no doubt. First of all, it will be a short one, we decided to go for only 4 weeks. Second, we decided to start introducing Urban Terror 4.2 into competition. The 008 build is fun and stable, hits are better than ever, and it's time we gave the new version a whirl. With the promise of an even better build on the way, we're in time to kick off the new year with new UrT.
Help Improve 4.2
And that's where the Winter Cup comes in. With Raider from Frozen Sand acting as the sponsor of this Winter Cup, we will be collecting reports about 4.2 to help FS make it ready for competition. We will be awarding extra points to anyone who gives 4.2 a serious go, while Raider will be watching over THIS NEW FORUM SECTION dedicated to your input about 4.2 - be it reporting bugs (please do, tweaking 4.2 for competition play is our goal here) or heaping praise on whatever you find cool about it (hits, anyone?).
The event was masterminded by our Senior Referee team, namely Xesya and AlexDenton. They prepared 3 theme weeks for you and one week with loosely suggested winter maps. We are giving you a chance to choose between playing 4.1.1 and 4.2 - that decision is up to you and your opponent. But this is a unique opportunity to give your input about 4.2 and help make it better. There will be plenty of extra points for the themes but even more points for playing 4.2.
Servers
We know most of your team servers haven't yet been upgraded to 4.2, so we made sure to have some servers available from our friends and sponsors. If you need a 4.2 server, ask in our irc channel or pm one of the staff members. If you happen to own a 4.2 server and are willing to let other teams use it if they need to, let us know. There can never be enough servers.
Schedule
To make things nice and quick, we are starting today with week one. Just sign up and start scheduling, ladies and gentlemen. The special theme for the first week is bomb mode.
Week 1 - 17.12 to 23.12 - BOMB MODE
Teams earn ONE (1) extra point if they play BOTH maps in bomb mode on two of the following maps: ut4_subterra, ut4_dust2_v2, ut4_algiers, ut4_abbey, ut4_mandolin, ut4_kingdom_rc6, ut4_orbital_sl. Teams can also earn TWO (2) MORE extra points by playing both maps on UrT 4.2.008. So teams can earn a max of THREE (3) extra points per match. Of course, you can also play TS and CTF for no extra point. Server configs are coming soon, you can use the usual Winter/Summer Cup configs.
Report
We have a whole new forum section for anything related to 4.2 right HERE. Raider is the moderator there and the section was created so your input would go directly from your fingers into FS ears. Use the opportunity to help the creators of this game make it better for YOU wisely - please keep things to the point and refrain from needless flaming. These people are investing their time, effort, and money to give you a free game, give them your opinion politely.
That said, good luck and have fun. May the best team win.
