BattleGrounds2 is getting ready to release its first BETA, to mark the occasion we have put together a media release for all our fans and potential players. Many thanks to Forlorn Hope for creating a gameplay trailer featuring footage taken from some of our testing sessions, the trailer is a little under 3minutes long and weighs in at 77mb.

The mapping team has also been very busy of late, we have 6 new maps that will be featured in our upcoming release, foothills, maricopa, mvalley, snowlake2, kingsmountain & pillage. These new maps provide a great deal of diverse gameplay, we have focused on making the game more exciting by creating maps where the gameplay varies drastically from map to map. Screenshots of these maps can be found below.

We have updated a couple of our player models, introducing the American Frontiersman & the British Jager.

We are very pleased with the work what we have accomplished since 0.17, BG2 1.0b is currently in the final stages of testing, if all goes well we will be releasing this coming Saturday the 4th of February. The team would like to thank all our fans and everyone who has been a part of BattleGrounds to date, we hope to see you on the battlefield this Saturday. Don't forget to check bgmod.com for more information on the upcoming release.

not bad

ps. your sig is annoying

[Ginger Lord]

Is it me or is the bgmod server seriously slow. Every other webpage is fine but bgmod takes forever to load, same for forums, has been like this for months for me.

I clicked a couple links and gave up, nothing loads, hope the game downloads faster when it's released <_

Some pretty neat stuff. I have to admit i did really enjoy playing this back in the day.

The site seems to have some real issues if you use IE. But give it some time and there a couple of nice screen shots up.

Any reason it runs slow sluggish in IE?

[Ginger Lord]

Runs insanely slow in Firefox, Safari and IE for me.

[zeon]

yes indeed VERY slow loading.

and very annoying signature.

[CrazyMAC]

i kind of like the sig D:

[Vinny Testaverde]

yay Battlegrounds

[⌐■_■]

That's awesome!

And why not drop the sig-issue people? That's not why he posted and if you're really upset with it, use the PM function..

The second image is my favourite in the others the tree colours seem very saturated or strong they seem like they should be a lot less saturated. Its looking good though.

[Bic-B@ll]

1) i cant see shit

2) the reload are hilarious in a good way

3) bayonets!!!!

4) the hud is abouta s obtrusive as they come

edit:

5) lacks horses

After watching the video I think it looks like PVK with funny hats.

[Skjalg]

Downloading now.. Looking at the image took a while (slow server?).

Im looking forward to the beta, hope for your sake that its more stable than the current version *shudders*.

Also, you might want to reconsider the map theme you got going there with pure large prop-filled-displacement areas.

Yes our webserver has bouts of slowness, we are moving to a much better server very soon
