7-zip should work fine. Which file are you trying to unpack? Did you get any error message?

I've downloaded a mod for BF2, called The Alpha Project, And the error is that "could not open archive, maybe damaged."

The mod file may have been damaged during download. You can verify if this is the case using the md5 hash mentioned in the file download page, and a tool such as hashcheck.

If the file is ok, then the version of 7-zip you are using may be bugged. Version 16.04 fixes some rar code bugs, so you can try this version in case you haven't already done so.

Another option is UnRAR (look for "UnRAR for Windows" in this page). This is a rar unpacker by the same company of winrar, and is freeware. Notice that it is a command-line tool, so you need to run it from a command prompt (type unrar without parameters to see the usage options).
