Subject: Where can I get Halo Custom Edition?

I was wondering if there was a place where I could get Halo Custom Edition without breaking the law. There has to be a way I can get the CD.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

You can download it from 3dgamers.

Yes but is there a place where I can buy it on a disc like you would Halo 1 PC? Or is the only way to do it to get Halo 1 PC, and download Custom Edition and use your key, and CD?

Halo PC you have to buy... Halo Custom Edition is free.

Ugh, failed to read 'Custom Edition'. Usually when someone comes around asking where to legally get Halo, it's assumed they're talking about Halo PC.
You know, perhaps putting away your ignorant 'epic fail', you could have realised this and explained your view.

The Halo Custom Edition game was never offered on any media other than as a download. It is a free upgrade for owners of the Halo PC retail game. See below:


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.

If you are a member of any of the IGN sites, then login to 3dgamers.com and download CE there. It's much quicker than Halomaps.com

Or download.com?Edit : Ignore the picture, and the name, it's still Halo CE.

Download.com always has really crappy speeds for me, but maybe it's just my computers.

To me, they're all the same..

If you're looking for a way to get it on CD, you probably have dial up. And if you have dial-up, you shouldn't be playing Halo online.

So true =).

You don't need to install Halo in order to install Custom Edition.

  • 12.21.2007 3:25 AM PDT

You just need Halo's CD-Key and the Halo PC disc to play, don't need to install.

  • 12.21.2007 5:31 AM PDT

thanks. when I get Halo PC, I will download custom edition. then the editing kit. thanks for the help.

  • 12.23.2007 4:27 PM PDT

This statement is also actually ironic. One of the reasons why Halo PC has such a horrible net code is because Bungie mandated for 56k dial up support. So yes, he actually can play Halo PC online, since the game catered to him and also ended up bringing it down as well. : (
