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.

Go to http://www.halomaps.org and get the maps you need. Halo CE doesn't automatically download them.

Put them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps.

Halo CE forever!

The files you download from Halomaps.org are actually packages. You have to open them and always place just the one file (that has .map in it's name) to the destination folder n357 told you about.
Also make sure you don't have the game running when you place the maps to the maps folder. After you've done, you can start the game.

by packages he means zip. It's one of the most basic operations of using a personal computer. Right click and then extract the .zip file. You'll find a file that has a .map extension. I find it helpful to make your own personal icon and set it to that extension, makes it easy to see what files you need.
