S3NATOR has brilliantly taken the next philosophical and theoretical step, and advanced mankind once more. For that, I'm forever grateful.

It is not bannable since it was an old announcement that Halo: CE was downloadable for free...............Don't worry, Im not naughty, at least I don't think so. S3NATOR, you do not need a copy of Halo PC.

Then, they should sue the publishers of Gearbox Software if that's the case

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Halo: Custom Edition is free.
Halo : Combat Evolved is not.

The only thing find wrong with this is stealing the CD key. That is pretty much what you pay for when you buy a copy of Halo for the PC. (plus I think this is in the wrong section)

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

What is Halo: Custom Edition?

There has been questions regarding the ability to download Halo: Custom Edition without the need for a CD. So this thread will serve as a walk-through to download and play Halo Custom Edition for the PC.

The Requirements: You need......DirectX 9.0 (10 recommended), Winrar, and a CD key which has been posted on the Internet so browse for it!

Before you start, Download Winrar from download.com

Step 1: Go to http://www.download.com. From there, search for the Halo Custom Edition program. It should give you a list of results. Click on the first result (Halo Combat Evolved Customs Edition). Make sure the publisher is Gearbox Software. Click Download Now. (you have the option to save it on your computer or open the file).
Run-time: apx: 3 hours.


Step 2: After downloading, you will need a CD key. There are many sites to find CD keys but I am NOT going to post it here. This is a test on your browsing skills :p After typing in the key, continue installing.
Run-Time: apx: 10 minutes.


Step 3: Open the My Computer file, go to your Hard Drive, then Program Files, Microsoft Games, finally, Halo CE. Find the update logo which is the Legendary difficulty skull, and update the Halo CE you MUST do this before playing.
Run-Time: apx: 5 minutes.

Step 4: Now, you are required to download the program which will function as a "disk reader". go to this page from Gameburnworld.com, click the Halo CE description, and download the No-CD patch (it will give you a list of patches, choose the first patch on the list). This is when your Winrar program comes in handy. The Winrar will ask you where you want to download this program, make sure you click the Halo CE file on the list and click Extract to then click your desktop. A logo should appear on the desktop with the label "Haloce".
Run-Time: apx: 5-10 minutes.

Step 5: Re-open the My Computer file and go to the Halo CE file as performed in Step 3. What you want to do is drag the "Haloce" logo on the desktop to the file page and replace the old label of Haloce which is in the file. So drag the Haloce logo and replace the old one.
Run-Time: 30 seconds.


Note: Make sure you have Direct X version 9. Any questions or problems, please post it here or send me a P.M.

Thank You!

Halo Customs Edition is a remake of the original Halo Combat Evolved, but you do have the ability to modify maps and cheat in the game. That serves the name of "Customs Edition". It was editied so that by default, you are able to mod maps and scenes (almost like forge).

  • 07.30.2008 8:57 AM PDT

cool, second question, considering this is a mod so to speak isnt it like a no no with bungie

and third, I heard about some massive map that takes 10 mins to cross, is that true aswell or do i get to wait and see?

Yes that is true but I believe that is a downloadable mod as well. There are many player-created maps that are posted for this game all over the internet.

Umm, you are a huge idiot. You are advocating piracy, and recommending people to go look for cd keys and cracks on sites that generally harbor hundreds of keygrabbers and trojans.
Halo Custom Edition is free, all that it requires is Halo Combat Evolved. You are basically telling everyone to screw over Bungie and Gearbox for releasing this awesome free service to modders/mappers, and you are doing it right on their own forums...how are you a legendary member again?

Just a heads up, you'll likely be suspended or banned soon.
