    CGF 0.80 ships with a good amount of terrain files
• AQ2 stuff
  • CGF requires Action Quake2 1.51 or newer to be installed (first). Get it here. Most of you have it already (and AQ2 is on the 'id extremities' CD as well).
  • A CGF mission requires the corresponding AQ2 map (created by various members in the community) to be present. You only need to obtain maps for the missions you'd like to play. Most of you already have most maps. Go here to see and download them.

If you're new to CGF, you need to download the CGF 0.80 beta and the CGF Launcher files.

When you are already running CGF, make sure you've got the latest version of the CGF Launcher (1.50 or newer) and download CGF 0.80.

Though the 11 new weapons are optional, a number of CGF missions depends on the new weapon looks and sounds; I strongly suggest you download all three archives.

Additional (optional) weapons

With help from MP*Canus and Lennon, these weapons were converted to the AQ2 weapon frame sequences, lots of VWEPs were created, and some skins improved. As a result, this is probably the biggest bot supported weapon collection :).
