Battlegrounds 2 Review

Battlegrounds 2 is a revolutionary war game in which you can fight as either the British or the Americans. They each have several classes. American classes: Continental Soldier, Continental Officer, Frontiersman, and Militia. British classes: Royal Infantry, Royal Commander, Jager, Native, and Royal Light Infantry.

DESCRIPTIONS OF CLASSES: The continental soldier and royal infantry are the basic infantry classes equipped with a musket and bayonet and are not anything special. The continental officer and royal commander are equipped with a short ranged pistol and a sword. The jager and frontiersman are equipped with the more accurate rifles. The frontiersman also has a butter knife, while the jager has a sword. The militia and royal light infantry are equipped with muskets that can fire multiple bullets at once, like a shotgun. The royal light infantry have bayonets while the militia have axes. The Native is equipped with a musket and an axe.

This game is really good and realistic. Just like the muskets used in the Revolutionary war, the muskets in the game are not very accurate. The reloading of the muskets are also realistic and will take 5-10 seconds to load. In this game, they also have line battles, which were battles in the Revolutionary war where the opposing forces would line up facing the enemy and fire on commands from the commander. The line battles in this game are really fun, I have personally played in a line battle.

IMPORTANT: This game runs on the source engine by Valve Corporation. You must have a game that runs on this engine beforehand, to download and play Battlegrounds 2. What are the source engine games? You should get them from Steam. Go to http://store.steampowered.com/ to download Steam AND MAKE AN ACCOUNT. Steam is an online store where you can buy digital copies of the game. Once you buy a game you have unlimited copies of that game. BATTLEGROUNDS 2 IS FREE, BUT THE SOURCE ENGINE GAME IS NOT. Now back to my previous question: What are the  source engine games?  Some of them are Day of Defeat: Source, Counterstrike:Source, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2. and more. I recommend you get Half Life 2 and download the Orange Box from the tools menu in Steam. If you want you can search for source engine games on google search. NOW PICK ONE OF THESE GAMES TO BUY OFF STEAM, OR AT LEAST SOMEHOW GET THE GAME ON STEAM, THEN LOOK AT THE DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS.
