Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Extractor

This is a project to extract the files out of the ps2/xbox 360 game.

The following version has been tested for PS2:

• US
• V2.01
• V1.00
• BETA

It has capability to extract:

• .viv: packed EA files
• .cat: Packed DICE files
• .lnd: Landscape files
• .sgf: 3d Models
• .txt: Client and Static Geometry
• .brs: Object descriptors

The 3d models are been exported to blender. Then all the objects are been linked to a scene.blender file to get the full map.
