Why cant my pc play custom maps on halo ce servers.
It says it either "couldnt read map data" or "certein map files couldnt be loaded"

That would be a problem then, wouldn't it?

well then, that would be why, this is not StarCraft, you can not download custom maps, you have to go out, and find them. go to HaloMaps.org, and search for them, that is where I get 98% of my maps.

And we have yet another poor unfortunate soul who neglected to read the documentation included with Halo CE...

Halo CE has the ability to play user created content. In order to get a map to display in the game’s UI, simply drop the map in the “Maps” directory. If you try joining a game playing a map you do not have, you will be prompted about the missing map and sent back to the menu. To create custom Halo content, please download the Halo Editing Kit - which is separate from the Halo CE download.

That took me a whole 30 seconds to find...

The guy came on here for help, isn't that what this forum is for, and all you can do is flame him? Why are all of you MAW regulars so nasty towards newcomers.

Long live the MAW.

he didn't even flame him. he simply pointed out to read the readme files, and what they say. he got his answer didn't he?
if you don't like it when the MAW flames souls who don't read before they post, then leave.

Hey dumbass, he asked for help, and I told him to go read the readme. I'm pretty sure that's helpful enough, and just because I did it in my own way what makes you think you can call me out on it?

We're not this kids frickin teacher, and we're not a frickin tech support forum. No one is obligated to help the poor boob. Especially with a question that could be answered by reading the frickin readme.

Well you could of just written what the readme said, and not "And we have yet another poor unfortunate soul who neglected to read the documentation included with Halo CE..."

Are you a forum cop? A Moderator? A ninja? No, so piss off and don't tell me what not to post.

I'm not telling you what to do. But flaming people because you think everyone reads the readme's and ULA is not neccesary.

Ph43r, as much as this guy annoys us with his ignorance, Kawasexi is right. You certainly weren't flaming him, but you weren't being nice. At least the thread creator wasn't being an asswipe while he asked a simple question, like others are.

Drugs are only bad if they cause problems for society. As in crack and meth. Percocet, being a prescription morphine based pain reliever, does not cause any problems for society. Unpleasant side effects notwithstanding.
