Hey guys,

Halo Custom Edition is a final update for any owners of Halo PC. It's a free download , and basicalIy a seperate program form PC. I got it and never looked back to PC. Here are some of the features...

-Rocket Hog increased accuracy.
-Names over the FOF tags of your players.
-Over 260 Custom Maps, many of which are great! (Such as Zanzibar, New mombasa...)
-Better netcode, less noobs
-Tons of Halo 2 mods, and completely unique weapons and vechs.
-***UPDATE!!*** Boarding (or something like it) has been put into Halo CE. If you get close, in Coagulation CE (released in a few days), you can press Q and flip thay ing noob from his vehicle! The same function can be used to push objects around to form barricades, etc. Check it out!! 'Tis Coagulation.... OMGWTFH4XMB?


For those of you who need to see to believe: HERE!
(MIND YOU: These are taken w/ my crappy GFX Card..)
Nightca mp CE...Finally, a reason to use nightvision...
An Elite? Holding a Battle Rifle? H4X!
Dual SMGs? *Drool*

All this and more is in this simple download, and the seperate map downloads. Currentley the Halo CE community is losing members due to HL2. If you're someone who doesn't own an Xbox, and wants good H2 mods, get Halo CE. There are not near as many players in CE, but that can change. There are always great games up and everyone (well, almost) is friendly. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Here are some links that will help you with downloads, community, and other.

its not that great... i love the maps and halo 2 mods, but there are on average oly 20 to 40 servers, most of which are on standard halo pc levels. but its cool when u get to a nice custom map (most of them are extremely laggy) and have at least 6 players. ministunt and zanzibar are cool

which is why, we need to gather people currently playing PC to go to CE. Then there will be more people.... There are so many that have no idea that this exists.....Maybe if that "Checking for updates" thing told them about it or that lil news ticker at the bottom mentioned it, then people would know about it.

Ill give the reasons why pleople wont come to Halo CE
1. There video card wont support it
2. The are so many maps that it takes up some much damn Memory(imagine having 256 maps thats like 10gb fo memory
3.) Cant beat the ornginal and most of the maps are real stupid only some are worth the download

...which is exactly why I set up 'The Hall of Fame'. On top of that, there are now 346 maps that I know of... not 256. Also, who uses up 10gb? I have them ALL in my maps folder and it only totals 4gb (only, lol).

To combat the long load times that can be involved, I use the map manager so that I've only ever got the maps I'm going to currently use active. My Halo CE starts faster than Halo PC! (If you are interested, download the map manager in the 'Other Downloads' section...)

Lastly, graphics cards won't support? Eh? If they work on Halo PC, they will work on MOST Halo CE maps... Not all though, depending on how much you paid for your card.

Halo CE is like a thorn in the side of Halo PC, and I for one am pushing that thorn in further as much as I can... Hows about helping out?

Hey, I always take HaloCE over PC. PC is garbage in comparison...well, maybe not garbage, but CE fixes a lot and is way more mod friendly.

If you guys do download maps for CE, and you go to muff's site, for god's sake click the google ads for a bit.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

I need help. How do you upload maps?
Also when I play it's really laggy.
Also I dwnloaded the editing kit but whenever I open Sapien, it will freeze for a moment and then automatically quit
Also when I try to join to a game with a modded map, a screen come up that says " Could not connect to server".
Can someone please help me with my dilemma? Thanx, I really want to make custom maps.

Ok, killa. To get custom maps you must download them, and then extract them to the "maps" section in you Halo CE folder (usually in program files).
Its not always laggy, you probably picked a few bad servers---try and stick with the dedicated servers.
For help with your HEK and Sapien problems go to our community.....people are always willing to help, just say you're new to CE, etc. http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

You cant join unless you have the map.......follow the links above to get them.

1. only if you card can't support the halo PC graphics...in which case you're screwed anway
2. true, but who says you need to install ALL the maps? (i have them all, and it's still less than 2 gigs anway...)
3. halo ce IS the original in every way, except there's no campain, and you can play some really cool custom maps. if you haven't beat halo,stick to PC, but if you have, there's no reason to stay with PC when you can play CE....

Thanks for those tips.
Also, I use the Xbox for campaign, for multiplayer CE's tons better.

I would play it, but theres only ever one or two servers with a ping lower than 100 and then they have something like 4 or 5 people on.

THEN, they're generally people who run around changing teams as soon as you score so that you end up with 14 reds and 2 blues.

THEN... its the basic standard maps....

So.... i dont bother any more.

Heyyo,

Heh, nice thread there ignite, way to keep HaloCE going. gj. ;)

There's lots of great maps for HaloCE, the only thing it lacks is more servers and more players. So c'mon people, let's get things going. :)
