How do i play a game on a custom map on the internet? What i mean is, if i search for internet games on custom edition, i only see games for normal maps. no user made maps. Will games for custom maps only appear if i have downloaded that map or something? please explain!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

By default, Halo Custom Edition only shows you servers with maps you have. Changing the filter "Show user-created maps" to "Yes" will allow you to see servers with maps you don't have.

Yes, you need to download them manually. I recommend going here to download the maps.

thanks for the help i understand now. 1 more thing though, do some of the maps come with modded vehicles/physics/weapons etc? its really confusing how you can join a game and it has a wierd hud and weapons.

also, how do the single player maps work? i got 1 called area 53. what is it exactly?

The information about the HUD, weapons and vehicles are contained in the *.map file so the custom map can have different looks an feel from standard.

Where do I put the maps I downloaded?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.
