If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Okay, I just got Halo PC and I downloaded the Custom Edition. I heard things about the map "Coldsnap" so I tried to join a match. But, it wouldn't let me. I could join non-user created maps like Blood Gulch, but maps created by users were unavailable to me. It says I need to download a patch, but thats bollocks. I got it from Gearbox, but it wouldn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Halo doesn't exactly know how to let you play the map if it doesn't exist, you know?

Go to Halo Maps and see if you can download a copy of Coldsnap. Once you download the file (and if it's in a .zip unzip it!), and copy/paste the file to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\Maps\

Once you paste the fle there, you should be able to play it. And the reason you can play non-user created maps is because they already exist in the Maps directory; you need to manually add user-created ones.

And where is UXB? =X He's usually good with this =X

Or go to Halomods.com and search for a " Halo Map Installer ".
