Heyyo,

Halo CE = Custom Edition, which has MANY improvements over HaloPC

Fast Shaders = Specular lighting doesn't cause massive framerate losses now. ;)

F2 button = Server info (game mode and view settings), and server's message of the day

F3 button = Show all teammates players names above their teammate markers, press again for classic halo nametag style

Improved Netcode = Rocket warthog works properly instead of miscalculations, less warping.

Custom Maps/Mods = More to do, like fun custom maps to create and play (check out the collection gathered by muff: http://www.muffmeister.co.uk)

3rd Party Mod: Delagginator = No need to lead shots soo much to compensate for latency, and almost no warping! w00t!!!!!!


So yeah, HaloCE is what HaloPC should've been... incredible. ;)

You have the fine points from the well know Mard, but I will mention what he did not. Besides having over two hundred different maps to download, including the awesome fissure fall, and New Mombasa, it is, and let me be absolutely clear on this, its the place where all the serious players hang. You wanna know something, you go in their and you'll get it. Not that Bungie is a bad place. But all the clan members now adays use CE. Keep that in mind. Thats how I got hooked up with the one im in. And keep in mind, that a lot of these maps have some serious polygon counts so your comp had better be decent or you will LAG like a cow with milkfever.

Another good point...Halo CE is definately the place to go if you wish to test yourself! Don't let that put you off though, practice makes perfect (and I'm still practicing...lol).

It's definately worth taking the time to download... I'm positive that you won't be dissapointed! You can download it along with what is approaching nearly 300 maps from my site.

Have fun and, if you fancy a scrap, just give me a shout! I'm nearly ALWAYS up for a game!

2. What is different about Halo CE?
When using specular lighting, their is much less loss of framerate-
The F2 button can be pressed to give you a HUD of the game which contains all the game settings, the game mode and the message of the day as well-
The F3 button can be pressed which will activate a name above all the players on your team, and can be pressed to give one the classic nametag gametype-
The code, the netcode that is is much more improved, which means that for example, rockets from a rocket hog will actually travel to where one aims on the second and third shot-
And the thing that REALLY makes Halo CE unique, its ability to download, froms over two hundred selections, different types of playing maps such as "New Mombasa(a personal favorite of mine) Fissure Fall, Quagmire, and Zanzibar."
