About Redcoats.io
Redcoats.io is a browser first-person shooter set in the age of line infantry, flintlock muskets and wooden warships. Battles can hold up to 1,000 players on one map. Musketeers form firing lines with bayonets for melee, cavalry flank across the field on horseback, cannoneers fire cannonballs at range and grapeshot up close, and sailors crew warships that can bombard the coast. Each war is decided by capturing and holding forts.
