You need winRAR. Google it and search for the free one, as many versions require $$$.

Then, just unrar it to your maps folder under halo ce.

right click the map file (the icon should look like books with a belt around them), and click on extract files. then extract it to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps

ya but how do i un- rar it? Ok this is gettin frustrating, i dont know much about rar. The map is H2- New mombasa, and the icon by it looks like a white piece of paper folded in the top right with a box with a red and a blue object in the box.

okay, then just follow what i said before. that's un-RARing it. rar is a type of compression, just like zip. or, you can download it again, and it should automatically open with winRAR

No, it goes in the maps folder. Okay, you use winrar to unpack it, since .rar files are compressed. Okay, to you right click it and say 'extract files'.

Then, you save it in the directory for HaloCE, probably Programs Files->Microsoft Games->Halo Custom Edition->maps

Don't put it in the tags folder, put it in your maps folder. Otherwise, it could cause HaloCE to not start.

Do you have HaloPC: Combat Evolved or Halo: Custom Edition. It sounds like you have just pc...

If CE doesn't have a maps folder, it's either not HaloCE and is HaloPC, or you deleted it.
