Hi i bought halo combat evolved quite a while ago for pc but i have never been able to play it properly due to high amounts of lag and graphic problems. I do not understand why it lags on multiplayer and in single player i shoot an assualt rifle slower than a pistol would normally shoot. I dont think its my pc as i am able to play half life 2 and CSS fine without lag or graphic problems and i even used to play WoW which required a lot from my pc. I haved tried changing the settings in game to fit my monitors resolution and internet capabilities yet it still lags and runs slowly in single player. So if anyone can help me by telling me what is wrong and/or what i can do to resolve it i would be very grateful. Thanks all the same.

The reatil product is Halo CE (Combat Evolved) however a free upgrade version was released that included an editing kit to allow you to run and or create custom maps. That version is called Halo CE (Custom Edition) As a matter of course the retail verion is referred to as Halo PC and the custom edition as Halo CE.

The Halo CE (Custom Edition) game is a free stand-alone program for registered users of the Halo PC game. It was developed by Gearbox Software the company that developed the Halo PC retail version of the game. You can obtain the Halo CE (Custom Edition) game and custom maps from www.halomaps.org. The Halo CE game is designed to use custom content. The editing kit allows you to create custom maps.

In order to install the Halo CE (Custom Edition) game you MUST own a copy of the Halo PC Retail version of the game, have the Halo PC Retail version CDROM and the CD Product Key number which is printed on the yellow sticker labeled "Product Key". You MUST have the CDROM inserted into your CD Drive to install and run the game. If you do not have the physical CDROM and the correct CD Key you will not be able to install or run the game. Installing the Halo CE game will not affect or change your Halo PC Game they can both run on the same computer.

If you wish to join a server running a custom map you must have the map that the server is running already installed.
