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.

God this mod is still played isn't it. If it wasn't for the retarded amount of racism people spout while playing this game, it would probably still be pretty fun.

if you cant handle racism, you should probably get off the internet. or you can open your own server and ban for it.

Believe it or not, the majority of people aren't racist, and I would just disable the voice com, but many of the admins in BG2 are racists, and not listening to them often results in a kick.
