Short Update:

Project plans are set and clear and the AA 2 Remake will become part of my Beyond Enemy Lines brand. Combining Beyond Enemy Lines, AA 2 and some other games to an unique game while AA2 will have a very heavy impact in development. Preproduction will start February/March for the Multiplayer part.

Singleplayer will be release seperatly before the Multyplayer as Beyond Enemy Lines 2.

Here is a first and pre-Alpha Screenshot of Beyond Enemy Lines 2 Singleplayer:


This is full ingame material and early work in progress. Multiplayer will be based on the same technology. More details will follow early next year.

There is no way around using modern technology. This game might get funded by a big publisher. He won't fund a Unreal Engine 2 game. I also have a lot of data and experience with my UE4 Game Beyond Enemy Lines. And other then that I'm looking a lot at the Steam Hardware Survey to know what the maximum is I can pull (http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/).

Army Ops will be a high End game with it's own ideas based on AA2.
I hope to start a closed Alpha test later this year.

285 maps I don't see copyrights for those. I change maps from bots to P.v.P with my poor knowlitch but I works fine look www.aaobattlecommunity.enjin.com for the newes changes maps. meaby interesting . for idears! and maps

I can't just copy maps for commercial products. But I can get some heavy inspiration from the original ones. As I said if hospital would now be in eastern europe and some rooms would be in other order - it would not break anything.

Hello everyone,

I'm Daniel, CEO and developer at Polygon Art. Polygon Art is a small german indie game developer focusing on PC FPS games. After releasing Beyond Enemy Lines (Tactical Sandbox Singleplayer FPS) very successfully on Steam this february and retail this summer, I'm now working on some new games. One is a small, unannounced FPS game for a smaller publisher (as a contract work) and the other one is the research and possibility study of Army Ops.


What is Army Ops?
America's Army 2 remake with modern technology.

What does research study mean?
A not named bigger publisher contacted me to research a market for a new competitive First Person Shooter.
I pitched them the idea of a modern version of America's Army 2 and they highly liked it. My task now is to build a basic prototype, get in contact with the AA Community and ask for their toughts, what they would like to be improved in a new game compared to AA2 and present the final results to the publisher.

What is the current state of Army Ops?
Army Ops is in a very early prototype state. However it is already possible to host and join servers, pick a team and a squad role and kill other players.

Whats the future of Army Ops?
Difficult topic. If the Publisher says yes to the concept of Army Ops, it will be the next big Project of Polygon Art. If not, the project will still be continued in my free time with a smaller scope (for the start) and slower progress. Either way - this game is getting developed.

What do you think about the idea?
What would you love to see in Army Ops?
What should be the first game mode developed for Army Ops?
What Map would you like to see in modern days graphic?

Ingame Menu System recreated in a custom build Unreal Engine 4. All graphical elements are recreated to be nearly identical to the original America's Army Menu.

Please like and follow the Army Ops Facebook page, reply to this thread and give your opinion. As more buze and feedback I'll get, the easier it is for me to get it greenlit by the Publisher.

Thank you,
Daniel (AA Player since 2005)
