A First-Person Shooter Game That Won’t Break the Bank [VIDEO]

As the prices of popular video games constantly moves upwards, you may be wondering if there are alternatives. There are.

Urban Terror is a great multi-player first person shooter for PC gamers, and best of all, it's completely free. It is released as an open source game, which means the game can be freely edited and distributed.

Similar to popular shooters, Urban Terror includes a modern weapons set, from sub-machine guns to bolt-action rifles. There are a variety of game types, such as capture the flag or bomb-mode, as well as team battles and free-for-all. The online community is still alive and well -- very large for an older open source game. Though lacking the perfect graphics a more expensive game would provide, Urban Terror can run smoothly on just about any machine.

Urban Terror's most unique feature is a slew of new ways of movement such as wall jumping and sliding which makes for very interesting fast-paced action. Instead of watching the whole enemy team run around the same corner the same way, creative players could be coming at you from every direction. When enemies are in cover, you can bounce up over them and finish them off before they're ever able to hit you at the speed you're going. This part of the game helps keep gameplay fresh.
