Beachhead – Eras of Conquest

The Refractor-era Battlefields, rebuilt from the ground up.

Website: thatzaliasguy.github.io/Project-Beachhead

Beachhead is an open-source engine that plays your own copies of the classic Battlefield games on modern technology: faithful first, then better. It reads the original content straight from your installation and ships engine code only.

This repository hosts the project's website.

The eras

Era	Game	Status
Beachhead '42	Battlefield 1942, with The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII	In development
Beachhead Vietnam	Battlefield Vietnam	In development
Beachhead Escalation	Battlefield 2, with Special Forces, Euro Force and Armored Fury	Next
Beachhead Future War	Battlefield 2142, with Northern Strike	Next

Classic and Modern

Every era comes in two forms:

• Classic preserves the original as closely as possible: the original physics, HUD, menus, sound, water, sky and lighting, with every rule recovered from the original game.
• Modern layers on a new experience once an era's Classic is complete: a simulated ocean, volumetric skies, dynamic weather from clear skies to torrential storms, and destruction.

Status

Beachhead is in development, and there is no release date yet. Wake Island (Beachhead '42) and Operation Irving (Beachhead Vietnam) are playable in development builds.

Beachhead is a solo project by ZALIAS™, part of the Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam modding community since 2005.

Legal

Beachhead is an independent, unofficial reimplementation and rewrite of the game engine. It does not include or distribute any original or licensed game assets; original content is read in place from the player's own, legally owned installation of Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142. Battlefield and all associated names, assets and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Beachhead is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Electronic Arts or DICE.
