- There's no "I" in team.
- Yeah, but there's no "U" either. So if I'm not on the team, and you're not on the team... No one's on the god damned team!

So i was wondering weather or not you could use Custom Edition custom maps without Custom Edition. Basicly, CE takes ages to download and i just want to fly pelicans and longswords. So yeah, thanks.

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

Not as far as I know.

Are you sure? I thought CE just let you you create maps. If i downloaded one, unzipped it and put it in my maps floder it might work...

No. Custom Edition has a tweaked net-code or something that allows it to well, play custom maps. CE doesn't just let you create maps, it lets you customize your map.

What do you mean Snorky? I have made a few maps myself from scratch. I didn't edit a Bungie created map. But as for your question, Halo CE has tweaked something so that the maps you create will not run in Halo PC. Sorry dude, just gonna have to sit through that download...

PS. FLODER? Dude, that is a cool word.

...Yes you can. You use the version converter that's been out for 3 years (link). This allows Custom Edition maps to run on Halo PC and visa versa. You can't ,however, play them online unless you have a bunch of people who did the same thing.

Maps for Halo for Windows (Halo PC)
Pillar Of Autumn CryoBay - by Sean Casey aka DocOctavius
Before the deployment of the Pillar Of Autumn for the failed mission to find the Covenant homeworld, the ship was waylaid for a number of months after having been repaired. The workers used a section of the ship for games of "Capture the Flag", and other amusing activities to pass the time.
- Released 04\29\04
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find it. Might be the only custom map made for retail version.

C3LL - by Sean Casey aka DocOctavius
The Covenant have captured a number of Spartans and have imprisoned them in this small arena. The prisoners are starved and have been promised that the last survivor will be freed. The Covenant have provided energy swords for everyone... If you survive more than a minute, you're a god, or you're cheating.
- Released 11\26\2004
Freezing Point - by Fragrate
This frigid region of Alpha Halo has killed many soldiers itself- the temperature is absolute zero... and there is no escape...
- Released 10\29\2004
Above and Below - by IWTPH2
A slipspace rupture was recently detected near a heavily shielded structure on the outer edge of Halo by UNSC patrols. Upon entering the portal, the patrols ended up inside the shielded structure. Within, they spotted a derelict covenant dropship hovering above the edge of the structure. While no trace of the occupants of the ship have been found, further investigation has led the patrols to believe that Flood is present in the area. Panic broke out and the patrols are now engaged in combat against one another.
- Released 12\18\2004
Backlash - by 00dave aka [lotr]argn
This outdoor area has been the stage for a few heated battles, but remains mostly untouched by man...
- Released 07\07\2004
Nyctophobia - by Fragrate
Are you afraid of the dark?
- Released 07\08\2004
ChopChop - by IWTPH2
Somewhere underneath Halo's artificial ground, lies a very large and puzzling room. The few that have come across this place are baffled as to what its purpose is or was. If ever it was more active than it is now, all that remains are two crates, and some highly explosive power cells. The only apparent way in or out is through a few openings in the ceiling, as the two corridors on each side of the room are closed off.
- Released 03\13\2005
Green Valley - by Fragrate
This valley was once underwater... now it's a lush, green area, perfect for any Spartan's training or recreation...
- Released 07\03\2004
Claustrophobia - by Sean Casey aka DocOctavius
A human installation orbiting Basis in the year 2656, this cramped satellite has become a prison for those unfortunate crew members who were trapped here... they battle unrelentingly, all driven insane by the knowledge that there is NO WAY OUT.
- Originally released 06\03\2004, version 2 released 11\26\04
I actually didn't know that Halo Custom Edition Came out Only a few weeks or mabey even days After the retail version.
And H1usable energy swords were as early as being before/at the same time H2X was new.

Right there are modded maps for normal halo, but they have huge limitations and are basically all of the log-fort style.

H2 weapon and vehicle tags and H2 maps for custom edition were made basically the week after E3's new mombassa presentation.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

There are CE conversions made by Mrs Doubtfire, but those replace the maps installed on Halo.
