I hear people mentioning these like they are different games but I only see the "halo PC version on shelves." I'm not talking about the xbox Combat evolved version either. Can someone explain the differences for me. Yes I am new at this. I normally play the xbox version.

lol ya Halo CE and Halo PC CE is the biggest confusion in PC gaming history, considering the XBOX version of Halo, Halo CE, means Halo Combat Evolved, wereas when referred to Halo Ce for Halo PC, it stands for Halo Custom Edition, i wish xbox fans would just call it Halo ibstead of Halo CE :( ANyways once u buy a copy of Halo PC from a store u can then download something off the internet called Halo CE (Custom Edition) which was released from the people who made Halo PC, anyways this "special" version of Halo PC looks the exact same as Halo PC except it allows u to play user-created maps. Think of it as a large patch, except Halo CE runs as a different application than Halo PC. Using the HEK (Halo Editing Kit) which u can also download many people have created maps for Halo that u can download and play. There are at least 200-300 maps out there and u can find the maps at several Halo CE sites (well 1 less now) or at download.com

Halo ce, is a downloadable program, that can be used once the pc version of halo is purchased. It is basically halo, but with no campaign options, only multiplayer. The difference, there are hundreds of maps that can be downloaded. There is better netcode, better graphics in some cases, oh and yeah, a lot of those maps roooooooooccccccckk-blam!-. The rocket hog will actually shoot where it is aimed. Halo CE can be downloaded from loads of spots.

Get it here. Once downloaded, you can download maps. There are currently over 370 maps. Some good sites are http://halo-universe.com/. http://halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=8&sid=10 That is a good one. A warning. If you intend to play this, the more maps you download, the longer it takes to load CE, unless you havea decent comp, and you download a map manager. Oh, and as you play, you will get links and learn more, such as the maps that you should have and should not bother with. Trust me, everyone learns, especially if you join a halo clan. Oh, the maps go in your map folder which is in the halo custom edition folder, which is in local disk (C:)/Program files/microsoftgames/halocustomedition. This will only show up of course after halo CE is downloaded.
