when i fired up halo last night i went to the multiplayer section and i was prompted with a couple updates. i went through the updates, which were pretty much automatic, and i was able to play online.

my question is did those updates cover the "free download that makes halo ce sooooooooo much better..." stuff as the sticky above suggests or do i need to downlaod that also?

sorry if this has been asked but there's no search feature right now. i'm very impressed by the pc version and i wish i wouldn't have waited for my 360 to break to give it a try.

any info would be great and if you don't mind a keyboard and mouse "rookie" my tag for halo pc is Al Capwn.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Hell, glad you like Halo PC. Halo Custom Edition is a free additional version of the game you can download for free, that offers some improvements over the original version's multiplayer format, like better networking code, some crash fixes, faster graphics rendering, and the ability to play new mutliplayer game levels that you or others have created. A lot of people use the site http://hce.halomaps.org to find new maps (levels) to play with Halo Custom Edition. My clan's server runs Custom Edition, so with the right maps you could play there if you wanted. Hope to see you online!

by the way, driving the hog with keyboard and mouse is awesome! i want to try some of these "race" gametypes i see. good stuff. new project! i don't even miss my 360 lol!

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Excelent, another conversion completed.

Welcome to The MAW my brother, here you will learn great things, terrible, but great.

And as a point of advice, these losers don't like the Race gametype so don't get your hopes up in finding a decent one easily.

Oh, and I hope you have a tough hide, Bungie may have made an error giving us PC players the FlameThrower. ;)

Its not that some of us don't like race. Its just that some of the clans with racing (I'm looking at you BFM) have too many rules. Like no excessive killing or nade spamming. They give us unlimited grenades, and they expect people not to spam? Come on.

Oh, and FLAMETHROWER FTW!!!

Lol. Racing servers.......especially BFM racing. If you kill one person and its not by hog noobing, you get banned. Luckily, though, I can obtain tons of new product keys so techically, I cant be banned from servers for too long >:)

Race is fun. You should try to find a good race server on Infinity or Gyrophobia.

Look for the -AD- Race servers. They are strict but they give you warnings and post the rules during the game. Let them know your new you will probably get a little more help and patients from them. BFM = Ban-happy Fascist Monkeys
