Compatibility: UT3 for PC (PS3 users keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks for the PS3 versions of both Volumes 3 & 4!
Once again, we hope you enjoy the pack!)
Description: CBP3, or the third Community Bonus Pack, is a high-quality bonus pack for Unreal Tournament 3, with levels created by some of the best UT level designers from around the world. Since CBP1 for Unreal Tournament 2003, the CBP has been known for its professional-quality content that is considered an essential addition to any UT200X install. The team has returned for a third installment that will feature multiple volumes; the fourth volume has now been released.
The pack features 11 new maps (4 DM, 5 DOM, 1 CTF, 1 WAR) and 2 new pickups! It also includes the Domination gametype again (same as Volume 3). Please visit the CBP3 Website for more information.

Spewing with vol 4. I downloaded it 3 times yesterday (exe and zip version and all of them are corrupted in some way). I'm blaming IE for the corruption as I'm using all new hardware n software across the board (eg new PC,ADSL router, using Win7Enterprise...). I've had to resort to downloading the individual maps from fileplanet so hopefully sometime this weekend I can give them a shot.... I had the same issue with vol3 and never got to play the industrial map. Fortunately the FilePlanet DL manager pulled down vol3 without any corruption last night.

OMG! .....hi mates i just have DL the cbp3vol4 version2...and i havent find the way to install it what i found inside is :
-a nice updated read me -a "UTGame" folder -a "UTDom31_CBPsetup" package window installer -a "UTDom31_CBPSetup" aplication
first question after reading the "readme" is where is the cbp3vol4 installer?
so i tryed after uninstalling the cbp3vol4(first ed) to install manually the pack
all was fine for pickups,config & script but no way to install the maps, i have that message
dunno if the corrupt files problem is from here or fromthe pack itself ; i ll re D/L it but plz can someone tell me first that all is fine with the pack...it s so long to D/L from a far french farm ;)
I downloaded it from WSN (?), bottom option of the 5 available and all the files are intact. However, i dont use any auto installers. I like to check each one as i file it. Haven't played them all yet, but asssume the map files are okay.
there a **** with the filefront link (corrupt files) and it seem they forgot to add the installer in all ways and on all mirrors....so no otha option than the manual install for now ;)
does anyone have some news bout an hypothetic update? since the "bug" no news ;no update? or from the cbp guys?
what a lack of comunication !
i hope they ll be abble to get the pack working (installer & no corrupt files).... that kind of silent delay just kill the game and the spirit....but it s same way that uses Epics too...that s probably the "pro" side ....and i hope users will redownload it....
TBH, it suxx. Except spoondog & Raze, none of the mappers as took the time to register & post something. Deceiving.
None of them as post something about those who has provide feedback for the v2 on Epic nor on BU. Deceiving again...
They want us to provide feedback & they're to cheap & lazy to at least say tank you for hour testing time. I don't expect to be part of the credits because I didn't have the time to do extensive testing, still, a simple thx you to the name who as help them in one post is the most basic thing they could do.
It's the last time I'll loose my time testing those maps for people that don't appreciate my feedback.
2 words I keep in mind, cheap & lazy.
To bad.

for the credits they ve add us in the "read me";it fine for me but i was just expecting something more friendly too; a little hello& thx here but no problems; it s their choice
for the rest i m so desapointed:
cbp packs have always been at the top for me; not for the content but for the safety of their work; always clean and working fine....the first 3 UT3packs was good quality and with same content( decent installer and unbugged maps....)
was a big surprise for me to have a v2....and was a huge surprise to see that the V4Version2 content was missing a decent installer and that the filefront link was corrupt....why dont have send us the pack to betatest it? arent we abble to hunt such basical bugs? did someone from the cpb group really test it?
all that is "turning " in an Epic way.....quality is down ;delays are too long to fix problems and more than all: A "no way to communicate/ no answer/no news attitude/system"....we need to learn lessons from life ....it s exactly how Epics have kill the ut community but here it s quite funny....cbp is the community!...(or perhaps they work for Epics now haha).....suicide?....rofl...it s quite hard to find a better way to NOT make justice to their work.....makes me ill :(

I didn't dwn the v2 pack yet so I didn't check the readme. That's a good thing they give some credits. But I was referring to there post on forums.
What is surprising me is the amount of issues (collisions & such). Those are very experimented mappers & they didn't see things that a noob like me as saw in 5 mins. All coments we made here are pretty basics for my pov. I don't denigrate the maps visuals & such, It's the basic stuff like improper collisions &/or missing blocking volume, bad item placements that is suprise me.

TBH. I agree with blitz, after the first DL i expected so much more. I havent dl again. Very disappointed. You guys should have some credit for your time as they obviously didnt put in the beta testing time.
One comment with the packs is that they were trying to enter their maps into every stage of the MSUC. With approaching deadlines something would need to be sacrificed, hence the lack of quality control. They would have been better to enter their maps into the MSUC stages then polished them up for the pack. This way players can try out the earlier versions of the maps to get a taste for them, after which they then can DL the polished, problem free, versions via the pack.

Indeed, I think the same way as you regarding those packs

srry to hear that mate....dunno what they wait to provide a decent link or at least to tell some words to explain what is happening i have my idea on that though and i bet they are probably working on the PS3 version....haha....more u become pro ; more the ps3 version seem to be important to your eyes :p
that last volume....the v2.....the corrupt files...the delays....the lack of communication.....cbp doesnt mean the same here now....HOLP seem to be the last safe products
oh they arent idiots mate but they are just like everyone in that fraqn life system....surbooked....overbooked or just buzy on something else......doing so they just are killing their own work....their choice :(
