Anyone played Battlegrounds for HL1/2?

Don't laugh, but I think an American Revolutionary War game could be really cool on the "RO engine".

Slower more realistic movement, solid stamina system, iron sights (although most weapons didn't actually have sights), proper damaging and ballistics. Reasonable melee combat (RO:O's is MUCH better than BG 1/2's).

Artillery barrages might need a bit of rethinking haha, since indirect fire wasn't really used until the Crimean War.

Instead of having 3 kinds of Mosin Nagants you could have 3 or 4 kinds of Brown Bess's lol. Long Land Pattern, Short Land Pattern, New Land Pattern Musket, Sea Service Musket etc. And just think, no more grenade spam!

Sabres and flintlocks would kick major ass in RO:O and UT2.5.

Yes, I've played it, a few times. I'm more into BG2....but I haven't been playing recently, since we are waiting for a new patch to spice things up.

My clan started off as a BG2 clan now that you mention it. I'm the Unreasonable Sea Urchin, maybe you've heard of me

Agree.
I'v played it a lot (on HL2) and the RO engine would be very nice for BG2.
They really could use some good mappers besides tomdon, most environments look so damn gamey it's not funny any more. In fact it's just like 1 big cartoon. Funny but not realistic

I no very little of this mod or the american civil war to tell the truth, but imagine it would work well in RO/UT
I also think a Gallipoli would be a decent RO conversion, probably for similar reasons. Rifle combat in an excellent enviroment.

The everlasting stabbing battles would be awesome with "RO engine".

It was always fun to engage in bayonet fights with a loaded gun and blasting someone in the face. Good times.

i played it and it was fun, but i have to turn mencken down,it wouldn

 

[Bluehawk]

My point is, with RO it could be realistic and not the circle jerk it is now on HL1 and Source

Revolutionary War mod for RO would be great. I'll contribute to modding and mapping if anyone gets it going.

If you don't have Half-Life or Half-Life 2 you're missing quite some.

For king and country!

Played it for HL2 but it gets stale after about a short time. All the really good HL2 mods are taking Sooooooooo long to get a release out. I'll be lucky if sven Co-op 2 is released in my lifetime...

 

[SiC-Disaster]

i played it for halflife 2 on a mate's account cause i dont personally own halflife 2. it was the **** though, i liked to play it very much ragdolls were cool too
i allways was the rifleman with the most accurate rifle but had a short bayonet range ^^ owned most players with a shorter bayonet still ^^

BG2 was better when it took itself less seriously.
