THIS MONTH IN OPENSAGE - An Unofficial Update on the Progress!
First - What is OpenSAGE? Right now, installing the BFME games is hard, and massive improvements are limited because of how the game was built. If you've heard of BFME Reforged, they're creating a brand new game - But OpenSAGE is creating a compatible version of the game. Think of the original BFME like Internet Explorer, and OpenSAGE as Google Chrome. It will revolutionize the original games!
