The full installer for version 2.0 of Battle Grounds 2, released April 24 2010. For a detailed list of changes, see the news post from April 21 here on ModDB.
A mod is a modification of a game, so therefore a Source mod is a modification of a Source game (a game that runs on the Source engine, an engine created by Valve for use in their game Half-Life 2). You can buy Half-Life 2 on Steam. Once you've done that, you can download the Source SDK Base (2006 and/or 2007 versions) through Steam. When you download and play mods such as Battle Grounds 2, it will run through the Source SDK Base, which is basically the Source engine ready to be modded.
So when people say something is a Half-Life 2 mod, they usually mean a Source mod.
So do you need HL 2 game installed or just the SDK Base 2006/2007 installed? I have every HL 2 game there is but they're uninstalled at the moment and was wanting to save HD space.
Also Hoki or anyone else who can help me can you explain the download information and installing it as I have absolutely no idea as to installing mods on any games... I'm green when it comes to computer management but i dont see why i cant play great games...
2. After the download has completed, start the .exe installer by double clicking on it. You will see an installation window popup. Complete the installation process. The installer will try to find the correct place to install BG2 to. It must be in Steam directory in the SourceMods subfolder (most often C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\) as bg2.
3. After the installation is complete, restart Steam. Battle Grounds 2 should now appear in your Steam games list.

You just need to install the source SDK 2007.
