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!
