Read the readme. If you can't figure out how to do that, sell your computer and play Xbox.

In your dreams, i just bought this thing. Readme... readme...

Sorry to say but that didn't realy help, i know it's a thing to play user created maps but how do i make them and play them?

Is it something to do with the moving of Map files? If so, before i took it back, i kept everything on the Halo 2 Vista disc on my computer, so could i play those maps on CE?

Ok, so by "got it" I assume you downloaded it. Have you installed it by double clicking the .exe? Once you have, simply run it the same way you would run normal halo, only it will be called halo custom edition in your start menu, or haloce.exe in the actual program folder.

Making maps is a whole different matter, and apparently downloading maps is quite a trial for some. Anyway, try to get the game running first.

edit: wait a second, h2v? Halo custom edition is the counterpart to Halo 1, not halo 2 vista.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

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

First of all, to play HCE you need a legal copy of Halo 1 PC.

Does it have to be legal? Because i have both flavours...

Lol, so do i replace the ordinary map files (Bloodgulch.map etc.) with my own renamed maps? Or is there another way?

Yes it does have to be legal because you need a CD key that is valid for online play.

No, you DO NOT REPLACE ANY MAPS!!!!

You add new maps to the "maps" folder in the Custom Edition folder. After unraring/unzipping of course.

So i got Custom Edition, and the one thing i can't figure out is what to do. Anybody know?

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.
