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.

We recently did an interview with Planet Half-life. You can see it here.

Chief-Phillips: Are there any special features you plan on adding to further releases of Battlegrounds? If so, share them!

Draco: Oh, we have plenty to add later. Our current focus is on getting everything that makes bg what it is into the source game, then the improvements come. Some we have are secondary objectives, like opening alternate routes or getting a better spawn area. Also there's a morale system we are considering where capturing a flag gives that team a very short boost in certain abilities. The community seems to think we need more classes, so there are also plans to let the mapper edit the classes, like different models and sounds, as well as team name.

Black Panther: I am personally considering and experimenting with user controllable ships and other kinda of vehicles like carriages or horses. If or how these will find their way into the game only time will show. These ideas still need time to be refined and tested.


Here is another screenshot of the 0.15 prerelease.

I really wish they would change the crosshair, because the current one blurs, and they new one is still an annoying circle, in .14 I have to change my crosshair every time I start up the game for some reason, because I find that a simpler crosshair is much easier to use. That's my 2 cents, oh and..ADD A BLUNDERBUSS!! YEAH IT'S ME DRACO.
