And yes, you need HaloCE to be able to play CE maps. Once you have CE installed, drop the new .map files into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps (I recommend putting a shortcut to the maps folder on your desktop to make it easier). Once you put the maps in the folder, you just start up HaloCE and you're ready to join servers running those maps.
