   * There are no player classes or equipment restrictions; you can drop your empty rifle, pick up a sniper from a fallen foe, and continue playing. Weapons and items are not bought, you can select anything that slot limits allow and change the selection as many times as you like. However, after you’ve moved or fired a shot, any following gear changes will not take effect until you respawn. You can select gear while dead or in spectator mode.
   * No incremental reload nor keeping half-empty magazines — when you reload, you lose the unused ammo in the previous magazine. Also, there’s no autoreload; when you hear the click of death, press R, switch weapons, or die like a (wo)man.
-  * When swimming, your ascent/descent can also be controlled by jump/crouch keys, not just by the direction of your view. This allows you to strafe and shoot or scan for threats just like on ground. On ladders, forward always moves up and backpedal down, regardless of the direction of your view. Ladders also do not have an “active area” where you would automatically move into place and grab the rungs; you’ll only stick to the ladder when you touch it (this makes climbing down a bit trickier, but faster, and allows you to jump onto ladders). You can’t slide down ladders.
+  * When swimming, your ascent/descent can also be controlled by jump/crouch keys, not just by the direction of your view. This allows you to strafe and aim just like on ground. On ladders, forward always moves up and backpedal down, regardless of the direction of your view. Ladders are old-school, you stick to the surface when you touch it, but this only works if you’re facing it: if you turn to the side too far you’ll fall off. You can’t slide down ladders but you can drop down and then at the last moment turn around to stop without injury.
   * Knife is not an instakill weapon, doing different damage in different hitzones (only hit in an unprotected head kills instantly). Due to players’ agility and speed and the high ROF for knife in UrT, knife kills are not regarded quite as humiliating as in some other games. Thrown knife has very flat but slightly rising trajectory, making hitting anything quite hard.
   * There are no iron sights((It’s kind of a tired joke on the [[http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/|official UrT forum]] that every few months someone registers just to suggest iron sights. //Please// [[http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/topic/23616-urt-game-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__285385|think of the bunnies]].)); aiming is done in the oldschool style, with a crosshair.

 UrT jumping does not use any weapons (although there are HK69 & HE nades, and even in 4.1 jump servers generally have damage disabled); instead, players rely on walljumping to gain height and speed in a similar manner. Most maps have nodamage floors and/or surfaces that teleport you back to the start of the particular jump (//not// the start of the map); only a few maps like Deathjumps: Hell kill you on the first mistake.

+===FT (Freeze Tag) (4.2 only) (g_gametype 10)===
+This is basically a version of Team Survivor where death is reversible. In order to win, your team has to ensure that all opponents are frozen at the same time; this is made harder by the ability to thaw teammates by standing next to them (frozen players also slowly thaw on their own). Unless healed during thawing, freshly thawed/melted players only have 10% of health. Thawing someone gives you a point just like freezing does. Suicides (including **''/kill''**, ’sploding and lemmings) do not freeze but kill.
+The first version of FT in .019 differed significantly from the 4.1 server mod in that frozen players weren’t affected by gravity or damage, meaning they would remain stuck in the air and you couldn’t boot or shoot them to keep them from thawing. This has been changed in .020 (but you still can’t look around while frozen).
