The Battle Grounds 2 and Battle Grounds 3(BG3) are Half-Life 2 multiplayer modifications based on the American War of Independence (1775-1783). The British Army and its Native American tribal allies engage in battle against the United States Continental Army and militia forces. Take aim and fire muskets, prepare bayonets and take control of the battlefield to succeed in your campaign for final victory. Combat will vary from long-range rifle marksmanship to brutal close quarters hand-to-hand melee fighting. You will need a mix of first person combat skills and quick-thinking strategy to survive. So prepare yourself to do battle for your side and to meet the enemy head-on. Only one side can be victorious.
Screenshots from betatesting with the community. We set the limit for Minutemen and Native Americans to 0 and enjoyed the hilarity of everyone playing the Native.
There is a place called Germantown? Where are my Schnitzel and Bratwurst?
The new classes rock - can they also throw the tomahawk, or is it melee only? Nice hotpants, too!
It's actually pronounced like the Ger in Gertrude, and not like the Ger in German. I live near it and that's how we pronounce it anyway. Maybe we're just trying to sound unique, who knows.
Injuns!
The tomahawk is melee only, just like the hatchet the Minuteman uses in melee (to balance the classes)
