Angels Fall First : Planetstorm

[~SJ~ Karuik]

This is a spectacular mod for unreal tournament 3, massive maps, huge space battles, full scale ground warfare, awesome gear sets, fully custom vehicles/weapons/items, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Looks SICK to be honest, im really excited to give this a try.

Sadly my copy of UT3 is at home and Im at school, ill have to pick it up next time im at home just for this mod.

My UT3 was on xbox 
Heard the game in general was much better on the computer, of course this was after i bought it and before i had a decent comp. I had a lot of fun with it on xbox anyways so if i get the cash i might pick up a disc for the computer, with a sweet mod like this it's just all the more reason.

Im most definitely buying ut3 for this mod.Im a bit scared though because ever since I updated my graphics card from my last one that burnt out game like crysis and counter strike source freeze out of nowhere when I play in multiplayer..


I hope it wont happen for UT.

I tried this a while ago (I think there was another thread on it already), but then it was just one space and one ground map and noone online to play against and on the ground map, the bots would capture/defend the first objective and then stand around and do nothing.

Now they've released 1.0 so I'll check it out again, but there are some things I didn't like, but that might be egine limitations.

Like the flight model of even the biggest ships in space was the same as the little flyers in UT3 have, only slower, which imho doesn't fit big battleships and circle-strafing around other ships so you can align your big frontal guns with your enemy is something I don't think is practical.
I'd rather have the big guns in seperate turrets, but that'd leave the pilot with nothing else to do so...

EDIT:
Just noticed 1.0 was the one I tested, as it was released in 2008
Oh well, shame, I'll keep an eye on it, hope they truly finish it sometime...

2.0 is out soon, id hold off until it is. theyre in 1.0 RC3 (1.3?) right now, theyve said "new public release will be dropping v soon! watch this space!" - moddb page

[Flyingdebris]

why was i never made aware of this before now? this looks incredible, now to just buy ut3

[Landros Radick]

UT3 can be had for like $5-10 on GoGamer.com during some of their 48Hr Madness deals.. now you can also activate it with Steam I believe if you have a hardcopy.

[(TLL)Highlander]

Might buy UT3 Black on steam. I'm wondering if the steam/titan expansion (included) would cause any problems with the mod?

[~SJ~ Karuik]

it would not, the installer even includes steam installation instructions 

[(TLL)Highlander]

Aww sweet! Might even get it today if i have the cash.

update on new version release ---- it will be out by sunday!

[Landros Radick]

Finally gave this a try. It's pretty cool and the inside of the ships look awesome though lots of stuff definitely need work. Sounds for one are fairly terrible in the ship combat scenario.. and speaking of which, the Ship to Ship with an Objective combat is kind of discombobulated and feels somewhat forced.. hopefully the new version cleans up all that stuff quite a bit. It was definitely cool to board a ship and take systems out though!

[Chromillusion]

The new version has been released, and I must say the visuals have been vastly improved. The new models/textures for the ships look significantly better, and overall the mod seems to be working more smoothly.

[Landros Radick]

Hopefully it will bring out more servers to play on seeing as there were basically zero for the last version!
