This is a game play video that was recorded for multiplayer-only game Urban Terror, which we introduced several days ago. It’s available for free for Linux, Mac and Windows OS.

The person playing this game is Donkey’s Butt. During the game play, he doesn’t play well because

By the way, just like in other multiplayer games, you may have to turn off network traffic utility programs (for example, Little Snitch) so that your terminal is allowed to access a server outside your network.
