Battle in the American War of Independence
Battle Grounds III (BG3) is a multiplayer first-person shooter set during the American War of Independence. The British Army and its Native American tribal allies fight against the United States Continental Army and the French Expeditionary Force. After 6 years of development, this iteration of the classic franchise features new graphics, maps, weapons, characters, and gameplay. Combat mixes long-range rifle marksmanship with brutal close-quarters hand-to-hand melee fighting, so you need both first-person combat skills and quick-thinking strategy to survive.
Playing together with your group
Your group can join the same side and coordinate on the battlefield. You can capture objectives, make a last stand at a fort, or roleplay in line formation. The game supports up to 80 players at the same time, and a new, intelligent bot AI can fill the battlefield. Choose your soldier: on the British team, play as Regular Infantry, Officer, Hessian Jäger, Iroquois Warrior, Light Infantry, or Grenadier; on the American team, play as Continental Soldier, Officer, Frontiersman, Militia, or French Grenadier. Pick from among 26 period weapons, including muskets, rifles, grenades, and swords, and customize your uniform.
