first, get the free 40 day trial of winRAR. (google it) then download whatever map file you want, then it will open with winRAR. right click the .map file, and click extract to. Then extract it to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps

ok, u dont hav 2 get a 40day trial, i mean, mine was free and mines been there for ages.
a search on google should find it, try winrar downloads?
well neway, once u hav that installed, wat u wana do, is download the map u want. eg. newmombasa. and save it to ur desktop. now right click the files icon and click extract here.
then aft abt 5 secs, a new icon should apear next to it or under it. simply cut and paste this into:
c;local disk/ program files/ microsoft games/ halo custom edition/ maps
then close all the windows and start halo ce
in the filter menu make sure u got custom maps enabled.

i hope it helps but it just gets annoying when u rite the same thing again and agin, they should make this a sticky so no1 else keeps putting a new post 4 help.
