==Features==
{{ModSoftware|4|Battle Grounds 2}} is a {{source|4}} engine sequel to the only real revolutionary war mod, [[Battle Grounds]].
* different classes and stats
* lots of muskets, rifles, swords and hand-to-hand weapons
* physically simulated bullets
* big interactive maps


==Media==
The game is set during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) in the US. British Soldiers and colonists loyal to the crown, fight American colonists and soldiers fighting for the freedom and self-government of the thirteen colonies. Due to the historical setting, weaponry is quite unusual for an FPS: Muskets and rifles of the period only load one shot and take about 20 seconds to reload (7.5 seconds in the game). Bayonets, swords, and knives are used on the battlefield in melee combat. The 2.0 version of BG2 was released on 23 April 2010.
