Lead Your Regiment to Victory
The Battle Grounds III (BG3) is a multiplayer total conversion built on the legendary Source engine, bringing the fierce combat of the American Revolutionary War to life. Whether fighting for the British Crown or the Continental Army, teamwork, positioning, and timing are everything. With muskets taking time to reload, every shot counts, and coordinated bayonet charges become terrifyingly decisive.
Hosting a dedicated BG3 server is essential for clans, regiments, and competitive communities. Public servers lack the structure needed for organized line battles and historical reenactments. With your own server, you control the map rotation, enforce discipline via RCON, and create a lag-free environment for serious matches.
Organized Line Battles
Coordinate massive volleys without server desync. High-performance CPU threads ensure accurate hit registration when dozens of players fire simultaneously.
Precise Melee Combat
When the powder runs out, it's time for steel. A stable, high-tickrate server is crucial for dodging and striking during intense bayonet and sword engagements.
Custom Maps & Mods
Easily upload community-made .bsp maps and custom models. Leverage FastDL to ensure connecting players download assets in seconds.
