ok ive decided to help yall out becuase so many people keep making new topics about installing and running haloCE and the halo2 mod team maps

First thing you need is Winrar to extract the .rar files get the free trial version at www.rarlabs.com
then go http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Nu mber=209149&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&a mp;fpart=1#209149
to download haloCE install it YOU MUST HAVE A VALID HALOPC CD KEY, haloPC does not have to be installed to run haloCE
then download w/e maps you want such as the halo2 mod maps from websites such as www.haloimpulse.com www.halomaps.org and www.halomods.com
to install the maps download the "MapNameHere.rar" file and double click it (if you installed Winrar then it should work) click "extract to" then extract the files to C:/program files/microsoft games/halocustomedition/maps then go play haloCE
to install custom gametypes extract the files to Mydocuments/Mygames/haloCE/savegames
some great maps to download would be:
Wartorn Cove 1,2, and 3 (one of the best halo maps ever, almost played as much as bloodgulch)
Quagmire
New_Mombasa_Classic
Zanzibar
Fissurefalls
Night Camp_CE
Lost Cove
Launch Bay
Camtrack Arena
TSC (play as Elites in MP, and fly pelicans, dont think its done yet)
Revolver (hehe, my own map)
these are just a few of many

more info. and updates at the gearbox forums (most haloCE players go there)
need more help contact me AIM lakehockey05
hope this helps yall out

Yo dude,
Thanks for trying to help. I have the maps un-rar'ed and in the maps directory of MS Games\Halo Custom Edition. (I already had Halo CE installed.)
When I launch the game and choose multiplayer I don't see any servers using new maps, just the old ones. Also, I can't create a LAN game with any new maps.
What about the CE.exe that the Halo2CE dudes have for download? If I launch that it runs HaloCE, but with the same results. I'm not seeing any new content... What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Lesser Yang

in order to play haloCE you will need your haloPC CD key and the CD itself. without these, it will not run.

ok, for the guy that has the network problem look at ur internet connection. If you have sp2 or nortan 2004 or 2004 make sure both of those firewalls are open. If you have nortan 2004 or 2005 you don't really need the sp2 firewall so shut it off.

All this has been done before. Go to http://www.muffmeister.co.uk for anything to do with HaloCE. He's got everything covered, really.

Btw GreenxPanda I've used the celshading mod, on Halo PC not CE tho. I can show you how to apply it if you want.

Yeah, that's what the problem was. I took off the filter and had new games to choose. New Mombasa is very impressive looking. Great mod.
No one in forums has been talking about the CE.exe from the halo2ce site; just maps. Do you need to launch off of that file?

Do i have to have Halo CE to install maps because i have dial up and it would take to long to download and if not is there any place that i can get it in like a zip or rar file.

you need HaloCE to play the maps, that does mean installing them too. but you dotn technically install, but that aint the point. HaloCE is already in a rar. so it cant get any smaller.
