Check if your FW or Antivirus is blocking it. I got fast download speeds today.

I wanted to seed it before but it looked like it got stuck on "Waiting for peers..." for hours. I never had any problems with download though.

@ Flippy My texture pack covers all official FH2 maps. You'll see some of my textures floating around the CMP maps though depending on what texture suffix the mapper decided to use. I haven't made any textures for specific CMP maps yet.

You can also find all the info for the textures and historical details in this thread :D

@Odium I actually PM'ed Harmon with a link to some new files recently but idk if he's checked his PM's lately. Let me know when you get it because I would like to update that thread with the new stuff + a link to the updater 8)

Here is a direct link to the current CMP V2.  But be aware that if updates are made, then they are by the custom downloader program so this download is out of date.  I don't know how the downloader program works, but maybe it will update an existing full installation that was NOT created by it... I hope so.

 http://bfewaw.com/maps/MapPacks/Community-02/CMP-V2-11.22.2015.zip

Since the root of this archive is the fh2 folder, gamers should extract the zip archive to their mods folder. A typical default location for that is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods


**edit -- changed link. CMP-V2-11.15.2015.zip was missing the Brecourt Manor map. Link now points to CMP-V2-11.22.2015 which now includes the missing map.

It will update manual Installations. The updater does a file by file md5 hash comparison against a master XML file and only updates whats necessary

CMP maps on [762]RANKED#1 Sunday, Nov.22nd.
« Reply #52 on: 21-11-2015, 15:11:45 »
A quick heads-up to the player base.
Please read this, guys!

First off, we will re-open [762]#2 with FH2 stock maps only. That will be our ranked FH2.48-stock backup.
Next step, on Sunday we will try to mix the better, working CMP maps, that are already in the [762]
ranking (click "Maps" & scroll down HERE) into the [762]RANKED#1 map rotation.
They will be run together with the full stock FH2 map list.

So people will join, play some rounds, read the chat, realize to run the updater, fix it, rejoin.
If they ignore the welcome message (hints to the updater) and the chat, they will notice when
they cannot load a map. If they refuse to play the new maps ---> [762]#2 is open.







The updater will do the rest for you.


Which maps I will start with, I have to speak with Sandre and Papillon.
That will be decided today. Ts4Ever's suggestion is right. We will use the
working ones (that worked in the first CMP already), such as Orscholz, Brecourt,
Etna, etc. Objective maps will come later (may need a different Python plugin), Japan
will come later.

Japan needs to be included into the ranking, so that we don't cause trouble with missing
references (kits, tanks, classes, factions, etc.) That will be done over the next weeks, asap.

I experienced "waiting for seeds" too so thanks to Melvin for the download link. After that, the updater did find seeds (coincidentally?) and only needed to download about 88MB.

My installation didn't have the Brecourt Manor map in the archive I posted; sorry if anyone had problems with that.

Here is just the Brecourt Manor map for people to download if they used my earlier archive.  I didn't want to create another full archive since it would be over 1.7GB if files people already have.  This is just the missing map from that archive.

**edit -- as of Nov 22, 2015, a full link for the installation which includes the Brecourt Manor map is posted (HERE)

Please do not use these download links to install the CMP on your client.
They were meant for installing on a server. If you run your Community Updater,
(first post in this thread) it is the easiest way to install the CMP.

Even if you are missing only one map, you can fix that by using the "Repair" option.
The problem with static download links is that they were created for a specific purpose
 and are not being updated.

I hosted the direct download of the full installation of what you gave me, Odium.  Some people have posted problems with the Updater, so I did this to help them by providing a manual installation possibility.  And, I warned that future updates could happen.

It will update manual Installations. The updater does a file by file md5 hash comparison against a master XML file and only updates whats necessary
I expect that would keep people covered.

That link is not for a server-only installation.  It is the full installation.  It could be used for a server too, but 90% of the file space of a full installation is not needed for a dedicated server.

BTW, Odium has asked me to do the full installation download to include the missing map and not provide a "patch".  I will get that up in an hour or so.  I'll make sure to remove other links in my posts to avoid confusion.

Use of the Updater is recommended for all installations.  The manual link is provided for those that are having problems with the Updater.  If it is too slow for a full installation or it is not working, then the manual installation can be used.

Be warned that the map pack can be changed long before a new link for a manual installation is posted, (a new link may never be posted).  After a manual installation is performed, it is recommended to run the Updater to assure your installation is completely up-to-date.

For a manual full installation, the link has been updated in the original post.  Repeated here, it is:

 http://bfewaw.com/maps/MapPacks/Community-02/CMP-V2-11.22.2015.zip

Since the root of this archive is the fh2 folder, gamers should extract the zip archive to their mods folder. A typical default location for that is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods

Good evening,

a quick heads-up from [762]:

Neo82 has put in some hours of work and added a lot of the Pacific content to the ranking.
Meaning: your kills now get counted on the Pacific maps that are contained in the CMP.

Here you can see StoreDyr's statistic page. He has reached a General's rank as first player
in the [762] RANKING after the Gamespy-end-of-life-induced ranking reset. You will notice
that there is a new faction "IJN" or Imperial Japanese Navy.



In addition 3 new vehicle classes have been added by Neo82:

Naval Light (small boats with outboard motors, PT boats, landing crafts for personnel, etc.)
Naval Medium (Submarines and Destroyers)
Naval Heavy (Battle Ships)



The work is by far not complete, but we are getting better step by step.
You can look up your FH2 statistics on the www.762-ranking.de website
by clicking on the black flag on top that says "FH2 STATS".
Feel free to ask your questions here.

So long,
x4fun I<ODIUM>I.
