Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam is set to launch on Steam Early Access this year. Before diving into the details of this exciting new addition to the Beyond Enemy Lines franchise, let's explore the progression of weapon animations throughout the series.



From the early days of using animations from Asset Packs in Beyond Enemy Lines 1 and 2, the franchise has come a long way in terms of visual fidelity. The first significant leap in animation quality was witnessed in Beyond Enemy Lines Remastered Edition, where the development team introduced their own custom animations, marking a notable improvement over the previous titles.

However, the upcoming Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam takes the weapon animations to a whole new level. Building upon the foundations laid in the Remastered Edition, the developers have crafted vastly enhanced and immersive weapon animations that further enhance the gameplay experience. With meticulous attention to detail and fluidity, these new animations bring the weapons to life, immersing players in the intense atmosphere of the Vietnam War setting.

If you're eagerly anticipating the release of Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam and want to experience the evolution of weapon animations firsthand, don't forget to add it to your Steam wishlist.

Hello everyone!

Today is the day we look into the future of United Assault, Beyond Enemy Lines and evaluate the latest 'Next Game' survey. There is a lot of new stuff coming in 2022 to play. Lets get started!





United Assault - Normandy'44 is a massive success for Polygon Art and the quickest selling game we ever build! I have big planes for United assault and here is what's coming next:

I'm very Happy to announce:

Click for full screen view

United Assault - Battle of the Bulge is a standalone expansion to United Assault - Normandy'44 and an open world rogue lite FPS set in 1944's depiction of Ardennes.

As a british paratromy you are assigned to a mission, few would qualify for. You are tasked to infiltrate enemy territory and locate, infiltrate and destroy one of germany's secret V2 factories in the Ardennes. You'll come along heavy enemy resistance, try to weaken their defense by destroying their tanks, equipment and by gathering secret documents.



ADD UNITED ASSAULT - BATTLE OF THE BULGE TO YOUR WISHLIST!

• Playing as a british paratrooper and deploying on a parachute into the game.
  
• Authentic british World War 2 weapons
  
• Larger and more detailed towns and cities
  
• Drivable vehicles scattered around the gameworld
  
• The story is now directly integrated into the main gamemode
  
• Procedural generated underground bunkers complexes (like dungeons)

More updates, features and improvements! I'm not going to abandon United Assault - Normandy'44!
Both games are build with the same code base and allows me to patch new features and improvements from Battle of the Bulge back into Normandy '44. All gameplay, gunplay and AI improvements will find it's way into Normandy'44 as well as several new weapons! If you don't want Battle of the Bulge, you still benefit from its development and get regular news updates.

I plann to expand United Assault with 2 additional standalone expansions in the same form as Battle of the Bulge. Those are:

Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is the newest entry in the Beyond Enemy Lines franchise hitting Steam Early Access in Summer 2022!

Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is a modern warfare shooter set in the Quang-Xiong Island, an autonomous island in the east chinese sea.
The island is of great military importance and the source of numerous conflicts. Whoever hasmilitary control over this territory, is in close range to attack china, taiwan, japan, as well as south and north korea.

Satellite intel reports a lot of recent activity on this island and satellite fotos indicate chinese forces occupied the island. China denies this information and confirms that it has not sent any troops to the region. We cannot verify the credibility of the statement, nor can we verify the identity of the occupiers.

We need to get to the bottom of this mess. You need to be careful - we don’t want a major international incident out of this.

Features:

• Powered by Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections
  
• Command your own Squad
  
• Modern arsenal of highly detailed weapons
  
• Large, complex missions with full tactical freedom
  
• Mid mission checkpoints

Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is smaller game in scope then Beyond Enemy Lines 2. We target a story set on 3-4 Missions, each lasting for ~60 minutes. We want to test out new stuff with this game, like a own AI controlled squad you can gve orders to and dip our toe into releasing a game with a new Engine - Unreal Engine 5. Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is building the foundation for Beyond Enemy Lines 3 ...

I asked on Social Media, Steam and other platforms what you want to see in the future. Here is the evaluation of this survey with 983 participants at the time of evaluation.


Click for full screen view

The majority of you (60%) want to see a new Singleplayer game developed. The diversity in genres you want to see us develop was a majot supprise. FPS games are by far (35%) the most requested games, as we develop mostly FPS games this is no big surprise. Followed by this are Simulation (14%) and Role Playing (13%) and Third Person Shooter and Action Adventire (12%).

Beyond Enemy Lines - The Role Playing experience? How would this sound to you? We will continue to focus on FPS games but will definitly consider developing smaller games in the other genres in the future.

We also asked which game you would like to see next. 35% of you want to see a new franchise, 28% a new Beyond Enemy Lines and as United Assault is still a very fresh game it already gathered a respectful 23%. As both Beyond Enemy Lines and United Assault got new content and games revealed in this news, let's jump to the new franchise ...

The new franchise

We asked for suggestions which game you would like to see. And apparently you have a very clear goal in mind for us. You want to see from us in the future:

A Singleplayer FPS with focus on Story, more linear gameplay with occasionally larger areas with more freedom. The games you mentioned where shocklingly simmilar.


You frequently Menitioned Golden Eye and other 007 games as well as No One Lives Forever.

We will follow your wishes and start concepting a new James Bond/No One Lives Forever like franchise together with you in 2022. More on this will follow next year!

What is Beyond Enemy Lines 2?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp68ie58agY

How difficult is this game?

Very difficult! Beyond Enemy Lines 2 provides no handholding and punishes your mistakes with a fast ingame death. It takes time to master the weapon handling and know how to use the terrain to your advantage. Being difficult is a core component of this game!
There are some options to tweak the difficulty mode, but even then it's not comparable to a Mainstream game.

Is this game like Call of Duty?

No! If you are looking for a experience simmilar to Call of Duty, then Beyond Enemy Lines 2 is not what you are looking for. Sure you can have a ton of action packed gameplay, but this requires a very large amount of skill and is definitly not easy!

Is there any Replayability?

Yes! All missions have multiple ways to complete them, optional mission objectives, assignements and a final mission rating. You can compare your mission stats with the traget stats and your personal best. The AI is not scripted and can always take a different patrol path, reacts different for each combat situation. Every time you try a mission, something will be different.

Why is the Multiplayer in Early Access?

Because this game is developed by a single person. Initially it was planned to release the Multiplayer post launch as a free update but it's now in a that stable stat that I don't want to hold it back. But as I'm the only person working on this game, it's hard even with several Beta's and stress tests to get a feeling how it will perform in the public. In all tests there where no gamebreaking bugs, but please do not expect a entirly bug free experience at this point.

Which gamemodes are available?

Singleplayer
Multiplayer -> Conquest, Team-Deathmatch and Coop

How different is this game from the first Beyond Enemy Lines?

Everything in Beyond Enemy Lines 2 is developed from the ground up new. Everything got reworked and improved, features replaced (like the map computer). While Beyond Enemy Lines 2 keeps the feeling of the original, it's a far more immersive experience in larger and more complex missions, better AI and even more freedom with the weapon customizations.

Do I need to know Beyond Enemy Lines 1?

No.

Is this game a spiritual successor of Project IGI?

Yes and No! While the first Beyond Enemy Lines was designed as a spiritual successor of Project IGI, Beyond Enemy Lines 2 takes a step further. Missions are larger and more open and do not only focus in infiltrating a compound. However, the roots to Project IGI are still very much noticable.


Do you have any other questions? Feel free to ask them!!

This mission has top priority. Target: Mikhail Volkov. You are to locate him and bring him out for debriefing. Mikhail Volkov is our only link with the heist of the warhead. Mikhail is held at a military tank base. The whole area has excellent air defenced. We have to place you some distance from the target until those defenses are disabled. You will travel to the next goods yard - there you will resource transportation. The whole operation is simple - there are three stages:

1) Acquire transportation assets.
2) Disable air defences
