It brings the version from 1.06 to 1.07 so you can play with all the others on-line. if your Halo CE forced you to download the update then you don't need to download the hotfix: it's the same thing. Some people like to download the game and the fix at the same time when they are doing a new install.

Apparently there is a map pack for CE, though I don't know where it is, especially if UXB doesn't.

There have actually been several map packs made for Halo CE maps. One contained 60 maps one contained 80 maps and the most adventurous one I have seen had 190 maps. They were hosted at several different websites that are now gone because the owners of the websites got the bill for the bandwidth they consumed and closed the websites.

Halo Maps does not and will never host a map pack. Map packs a) are usually very large and consume a lot of bandwidth, b) most people only need or play a fraction of the maps in the pack c) I refuse to pay for the cost of bandwidth because you are to lazy to download the specific maps you want.

I have developed numerous ways for you to determine which of the over 1,300 maps you should download. From tracking the most downloaded files, offering user ratings on files, tracking the maps most often played on servers and allowing you to sort and filter map lists by date, downloads, ratings, name, and type. I routinely feature the better maps on the home page and also randomly rotate in less well know ones in case your likes differ.

Short of telling you what to download, which everyone will disagree with, I don’t know what else to do to help you to make up your mind. It takes the same amount of time to download one very large map pack what you only play a potion of the maps as it does to download the specific maps you want. People who insist on map packs are nothing but thoughtless lemmings who haven’t thought the issue through and I refuse to pay for the bandwidth for your indecision. I am sorry if my words seem harsh but map packs, contrary to popular belief , are not a panacea for getting maps. They are only useful for specific purposes like the set of maps played on a particular server. Download the damn files one at a time; it’s not costing you anything to do so. I’m the one who pays for it.

Unnecessary unfocused rant over.
