Angels Fall First

Seriously why the fuck is nobody playing this

Amazing space combat that feels like fucking naval warfare with insane capitol ships and destroyers with crazy fun fighter gameplay, added onto that is real interiors for ships that you can walk around in and repair (very similar to guns of icarus) while also having crazy in depth ground combat gameplay with tanks, APCs, jeeps, mechs, and gunships overhead

I'm sure those of you who HAVE heard of it from last year know the game was teleport lag central, but on top of rewriting ALL THE NETCODE for the space portion of the game (no more teleports inside of ships and shit) the game has had tons of fixes now and is fucking great

It deserves a second chance, it's one of the best games I've ever played and I can't fucking stop

Battlefront 3 thats not really battlefront 3. I have this and it's pretty fun, but there is only 4 (maybe more?) space maps and one of them is just a fighter battle at a space station. That said the game is decent to pick up if you can get past the somewhat obtuse loadout system that never really explains itself and definitely caters to the pill who can get higher kill streaks and do tons of damage since that will level up their resources thus giving them even more points to spend.

Well when they saw their playerbase was declining and the servers couldn't handle the stress they did the smart thing and redesigned their netcode

Now that it's finally done they're doing things like improving the UI and adding more content like space maps

Don't get me wrong this game is janky as fuck and the infantry combat is probably the weakest part but I live for the fucking corvette/destroyer fights

A friend of mine has this and said it was pretty good. It just struck me as promising an impossible to deliver number of things.

Now, I wouldn't say that. I find the whole peace to 'nam in 3.5 seconds one of the most enticing features of the game

Can't really say, seems like it's in its death throws but a /tg/ server would be kinda cool, all it really needs is a community to support it and it could be one of the best 'class' based combined arms games on the market.

This is a game that would absolutely be fun as fuck if we had people to commit to it

It's cheap and has a fuckload of content + more coming soon

Honestly though, if these kinds of games aren't your thing they're probably gonna do some kinda free weekend after redoing the UI to be easier to understand, it's got a steep ass learning curve right now.

You also basically have to learn how to squad lead to play it because bots need to be lead to be really effective but god damn it's fun when you crash a squad full of bots into a battleship and raid the cockpit

It already has delivered on basically everything I wanted from a game like this

I swear it feels like the developers grew up with the same games I did; it's got elements from planetside, battlefront, EYE, enemy territory, you name it

The original UT3 mod came out around about the same time as BF2142

This is why multiplayer is ruining gaming, we don't have enough people for all the games, so it's just the same 10 titles with all the players.

I remember when this was just an unreleased Homeworld 2 mod. They're trying to build a franchise.
