Overview
Description

Dirty Bomb takes first person shooters back to their purest roots in a fast-paced team game that challenges even the most competent players. Set in a London crippled by dirty bomb attacks, players step into the shoes of global mercenaries hired by either the Central Disaster Authority or the criminal syndicate Jackal. With no controller support or aim assist, survival relies entirely on raw player skill, fast reactions, and tactical teamwork. Mercenaries fight through chaos where cooperation is essential to overcome formidable opponents and accomplish objective-based missions.

Urban Terror is a free multiplayer first‑person shooter that runs on the ioquake3 engine, compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS. It offers fast‑paced, team‑based combat with a focus on fun over strict realism. The game combines Hollywood‑style tactical scenarios with realistic weapon handling, providing an addictive experience for both casual and competitive players. Regular updates keep the gameplay fresh and the community active.
