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.
Latest release of BattleGrounds 2 mod for Half-Life 2 (Orangebox engine). Version 2.2 - released December 19th, 2013.
Here here, so begins another 10,000 hours or more of the game!
Indeed. ;)
Can you make a patch instead of a full install for those who already have 2.1.1?
How many people play this mod?
Depends on the time of day. Typically there is a line battle server up with 15-32 players on. Sometimes these are scattered into groups of 10 over several servers.
so the maximum players in a server is 32?
Depends on the server. Some are 24, 32, or even 64.
Nice...just to be sure if it was worth playing it

Are there even any server on?
hopefully
THis is awesome, but can i play with bots??
What the hell is this, Every time I download this it saves as a .[1] file. How can I solve this problem?
Tell me the original game is required for this mod !?
For the numpties who can't be bothered to find out themselves...
How to download:
1.Install Source SDK 2007 (2007 one not 2015!) on Steam in the "tools" menu which can be found by going to Steam library and clicking "games" by a small search bar on the left just under the main tabs (under the back and forward arrow tabs). That step will be the most difficult if you haven't used Steam before.
2.After installing Source SDK on Steam (may take a while), run it and when it loads to the menu, you may exit.
3. After installing and running source SDK 2007, you will now need to start downloading bg2 2.2 which is just above. Click the RED DOWNLOAD BUTTON and wait until it starts downloading (should be around 517mb's).
4. Run the installation once it has downloaded and it will start installing the game.
5. Once finished, press FINISH (simple right!)
6. Now you can play bg2 2.2!
You will need to download the newest patch (2 2.3 at this moment in time) to play with other people since everyone else will have probably downloaded it.
TO DO THIS, GO BACK TO THE SUMMARY OF THIS PAGE AND CLICK THE BG2 2.3 DOWNLOAD PICTURE!
1. Click RED DOWNLOAD BUTTON
2. Once downloaded,....
Extract the 'bg2' folder in the .zip file to your '...\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods' folder.
2) Select the option to OVERWRITE the existing files.
3) All done!
This file doesn't show up as .exe for me. And I can't open it :(
I figured out that you have to type .exe at the end of the file and opened it...
