The Battle Grounds(BG) is a Half-Life Modification based on the Revolutionary War. You and your teammates will have to act together strategically to fight the enemy teams. It will be team based game play.

In Bg you can play as a solider in two teams:

1. The Royal British Army
2. The Colonial United States Continental Army

For each side you will have a choice of several classes, each with their own individual style and unique playing feel.

More details will be added later as our source feature list is fleshed out

A few Release Candidates later, a good amount of bugs fixed and a little more visual quality provided. Work on BG 1.0f is not stopping. There are a few more options to alter the hud. I added new menu options to select which information should be provided in which way on the hud.

Oelund helped us to improve the reload animation. A preview video can be downloaded here (3mb - bink video)

Another big thanks goes to Tjoppen for getting the development stone of Battle Grounds Source rolling. First images and alpha versions can be viewed & downloaded here.

Below are screenshots of Steves rework of the map bg_ticonderoga and a work in progress snapshot of a new revolutionairre musket model as well as a finished and animated Brown Bess model:

I downloaded and installed it and love it but I am missing maps. Some servers run stuff like lexington.bgp and I dont have that map in my maps directory. Cant seem to find them on the web either which sux. Other than that the game is fun when I can get on a server.

Then scale it up in source, i agreewith sashi. The rifles look way too short in the players hands. One looks like a kar98.

I love the mod. Its fun and well, just freaking fun!
But one thing that bugs me its the weapons they're smaller in the players hand than what they would be in real life, it kinda takes away from the game because it make me feel i'm shooting a .22 or somethin, could you scale the models up?

It's based on the American Revolutionary War, not the Civil War as the uneducated piece of trash just stated.

I played BG a long time ago and liked it.

However, it lacked a lot of things in order to keep me attached but BG: Source looks like it has those things! Can't wait!

I'm ready to suit up and fight for freedom :)

the source version is really buggy, but i can tell once it gets passed the conversion from HL1 and some of the models are redone and bugs are fixed, this will be just as good as the original.
