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.
Graphical improvements form a major part of the next update to BG II. One area getting major upgrades is maps. Many maps have now-outdated textures without the sort of depth and dimension gamers have come to expect. The development team has made texture and graphical improvements in maps a priority.
For your consideration is a preview of BG_Snowlake. On the left you see the “before” picture, and on the right you see the “after” image. The after image involves falling snow, a “colder” and more atmospheric feel, and bump textures giving all surfaces a truly “three dimensional” feel.
