Urban Assault - Metropolis Dawn

Welcome to the official Metropolis Dawn website!

The authentic and premier data source for Microsoft Urban Assault game information, knowledge database, as well as file repository from the year 1998.

Information

This is the main community and information website for the video game Microsoft Urban Assault and the Metropolis Dawn Expansion Pack. Urban Assault is a highly unique and innovative Full 3D Action (First-Person Shooter) and RTS (Real-Time Strategy) hybrid genre simulation video game that was developed by the Potsdam and Berlin-based German software technology company TerraTools, and published by the Microsoft Games Studio in the year 1998. Metropolis Dawn is the fully official and authentic, but unreleased expansion for Urban Assault. Urban Assault is officially translated with full localisation assets into the following 4 languages: English, German, French, and Japanese.

Urban Assault simulates full-scale vehicular combat and warfare set in the near future with post-apocalyptic settings, where the human race is nearly extinct following the chain of the catastrophic events known as the Big Mistake. On this brand new planet Earth, the unrelenting wars within the increasingly hostile environments have become entirely roboticised via accelerated technological development of various advanced unmanned military vehicles and drone hardware with fully autonomous artificial intelligence modules, which are collectively data-linked under integrated battle networks and command-and-control systems of the powerful and formidable, state-of-the-art Host Station war machines.

Mission

Our new website here is the direct successor to the original Stoudson Corporation website; a central hub of the Urban Assault information and knowledge base that went offline in the year 2020. Our primary host servers and core file repositories are located in Europe (Germany) and our main communication languages are English and German. The website also uses premium software and hosting services to provide an optimal environment for all Urban Assault game activities and discussions. The main purpose of our new website is reinstating the central UA information and knowledge base. If you have any questions about the game, please do not hesitate to ask us.

The website is still under construction, and currently our main objectives are restoring the lost assets and content from the old UA websites. We are a fully self-funded, non-profit organisation (No Ads/No Donations/No Revenue) that also directly offers various technical support and assistance for the official Urban Assault game data and files, as well as providing the most authentic and verified Urban Assault game files and content that are perfectly safe to download and use. Lastly, the renewed Urban Assault Wiki will be reinstated at the Lexicon module section and on the new webpage domains. Other new standalone Urban Assault websites are planned in the future as well.

Notes

Interesting Trivia: The iconic word/name of 'Stoudson' is derived from the combination of a rare Scandinavian/Nordic surname 'Stoud', and a Northern European surname suffix '-son'.

As announced earlier, all website styles and themes are currently reset; the old website styles and themes will return with brand new designs and layouts in future. Please excuse the work in progress!
