This war might be anywhere, in any age. The complexity of weapons, the ideals, the settings are all meaningless. Today like the day before you have seen friends slaughtered, their blood running with the blood of the enemy. You have heard men weeping themselves to sleep in their bedrolls, weary and sick of the work of killing.
Tomorrow the blood could be yours, or theirs. These thoughts like a trillion prayers are repeated across an ocean of worlds, many cut short, none answered.
Welcome to a universe at war with itself, where the feuds of nations consume the lives of men as they have done since the dawn of time.
Welcome to the Angels Fall First Universe.
Angels Fall First: Planetstorm is a team-based planetary assault game fought both in space and on the ground. Maps are linked in pairs to enable you to continue the fight all the way from jumping in your task force through to personally executing the enemy commander in his bunker.
The two superpowers grappling with each other are the newly reformed Antarean Empire, an expansionist power still smarting from a humiliating defeat of a millennium ago. led by the young emperor Maruis Lucan Andromedeus XIV they are determined to resist the unification led by the ULP and to reclaim lost territories. The Antareans are the oldest and proudest colony of man, and also the largest single political entity in the galaxy. The United League of Planets, consisting of 5 founding nations and assorted fringe protectorates. The ULP was founded by legendary Taurean diplomat Yvette Edrasil after the war against the old Antarean Empire shredded the former core states' political relations.
Their goal is a unified galaxy but like any vast bureaucracy they are seen as somewhat faceless and cold by many of the wayward nations they would adopt. Sensing this tension, the Antarean empire led the call to arms against the ULP, and the galaxy has not seen the end of hostilities since.
Three map-pairs are initially planned with more to follow testing.

NOTE - this release replaces the recent BETA RC2 release and the old ALPHA RC1 release. RC3 is a complete new build - no patches. our servers are now all on RC3 so anyone who downloaded RC2 will have to download the whole thing again. We apologise for the false start but this build is a whole heap better than RC2 and believe us its worth it. for a full changelog see here
Welcome one and all to the next exciting release from the AFF: Planetstorm team. This build has been designated our BETA RC3 version, and focuses mainly on getting all the core features slick and playable, and we believe we've done that. This release is also our first to fully support online play, and we've had a dedicated server donated by CozmicShredder which we fully expect to see you all playing on in the coming weeks. For the short of patience, here's an at-a-glance feature list for the Planetstorm BETA release
*official* servers -
Comprehensive documentation can be found in the included READMEFIRST text file, and online on our forums.

am geting Unreal Tournament 3 just for this mod :D
but doesnt seem to work on 64 bit
Ya, it works perfectly on 64bit Windows 7 RC, that's what I use, I only use 64bit OS's because I have 4GB of ram.
Works on Vista 64 too. Make sure you run it as administrator, stupid UAC interferes with it if it's installed to Program Files.
this mod looks insanely well made. Looks better than the game frontlines fuel of war, which was made on the UT3 engine and is similar to this game.
I play this on Windows 7 RC, so it defitnely will work fine on Windows 7 when it releases...lol
It even ran right away perfectly, before updating to patch5!
Alright, I saw this mentioned in passing before, but I think its time we should start discussing a Planetstorm play time so we might have more than 0-6 players on the server (though we did have 8 one time.)
My vote is for Saturdays 5pm GMT (1700 Zulu if you prefer) on the US server since thats the only one showing for me For those who have trouble converting time to their local time ww w. timezoneconverter.c om /cgi-bin /tzc.tzc So the spread is basically 10am for Americans on the west coast to 7pm for eastern Europe.
Any other suggestions?
Will this be for PS3 any time?
Looks great=)
Can anyone tell me on a scale of 1-100 how fun it is, the length that you would play this, and graphics..?
Yes, if you can tell me how long a piece of string is.
