Some of you may remember this long-forgotten UT3 mod.
Angels Fall First (Previously titled AFF: Planetstorm) is now an independently developed title on the Unreal Development Kit.
A short list of features:
Shooty guns
Squishy men
Bang bang noises
Objective based gameplay (Think UT99/2k4 Assault)
Squad Management
Loadout/class customisation
Space Combat with controllable capital ships
Ship to Ship boarding wherein components can be destroyed
The other night, they uploaded a short teaser-trailer thing on their Youtube. This has me wet in the pants from the implication of an upcoming release, and if that is the case every last one of you fuckers best be downloading it. The amount of work they put in to creating the detailed models and environments deserves a fucking heap of recognition.

I liked this as a mod, it can only be better as it's own game.

That was the most confusing trailer to watch, ever.

Oddly enough the mod version seemed a lot more "complete" than the UDK version. Had a few more maps if I recall. The Empire's support MG was ridiculously overpowered though.

I don't get it either

Attempting to watch the trailer killed any interest I had coming into this thread.
So is this kinda like that HL2 mod where you fight in space with fighters and can board enemy ships?

I'll replace it with some other videos, I personally think the trailer's pretty cool but yeah it is kinda weird if that's what you're trying to get an impression of the game from.

You mean Eternal Silence? I fucking miss that. It's vaaaguely similar but not at all. I'd say in ES the focus was a good 30-70 split between infantry and space combat, I'd say this is 60-40. The difference is, it's not just the fighters, bombers and dropships piloted by players, but the capital ships and their turrets too. That and there are dedicated ground maps with vehicles, and elements of infantry combat other than boarding ships in the space maps.
I thought this game died years ago. No one was playing when I got into it.
Believe you me, it's still dead in terms of a playerbase which is the reason I posted it here. It's still being developed behind closed doors, and looking through their youtube vids the newer version is already in a playable state. I just hope the release is sooner rather than later.
New trailer! Now featuring: Things you can actually see

You should really replace the trailer in the OP with this one.

Yeah, I was going to but usually when I edit posts with images and videos in it, it breaks them. I'll give it a go
Edit: it went better than I thought
I woke up this morning and saw the trailer they posted and immediately got excited!
Now this game actually looks awesome :dance:

It is, it's great. I'd say in terms of gameplay (And aesthetic) it's around half-way between BF2142 and as I said in OP, UT's Assault mode. That's the ground combat anyway. Space is an entirely different ball-game although some maps do have some infantry elements (Some stations to capture, ship boarding - hey, another similarity to 2142). I'm not a big fan of the way air and spacecraft handled in both the original UT3 mod and the UDK versions, they're not far removed from the vanilla UT3/2k4 air/spacecraft rather than being battlefield style which actually take considerable skill to pilot. Other than that and the GUI being rather horrible, I genuinely can't wait for it.

Maybe this time more than three people in the world will be playing it at once :v:
Both the mod and UDK versions are here:

I would recommend playing the mod if you have UT3. Although the bots are fucktarded there's a few different maps, the desert one being my favourite.
Two new videos in the same night. I'm getting the feeling that it'll be released sooner rather than later.

I'm totally going to tell my friends about this. From what little I've seen I'm getting serious Star Wars: Battlefront flashbacks in regards to the space battles. Battlefront is pretty old and still awesome, so this should also be pretty great.
How many players per map, approximately? I had a look at the greenlight and Indie DB pages but couldn't really find anything in that regard. If it's at least 12v12 I will be a happy man.

IIRC the mod version could support up to 64 players, not that it ever got to that many. I'm not sure if they've changed that one way or another.

In that last video, when they showed the server browser, the server seemed to show 0/64 players.
I remember play this tech demo, it was amazing even with only bots. Enemy breaking into your battleship and fighting in the tight corridors, Going into enemy ship and doing the same in kind.
It was brilliant. Good to see they are still working on it because it looks even better now!
Someone should host a server with the UDK showcase so we can play together.

Whatever happened to Delta Force: Angel Falls? Not to get off topic
[QUOTE=Megadave;46960182]Whatever happened to Delta Force: Angel Falls? Not to get off topic[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure Novalogic's half-dead, twitching in a hole right now. I don't see any way for the Delta Force series to make a comeback, what can it do other than an SP campaign that Insurgency or ArmA can't?
New teaser, no gameplay or anything like that
