Guide to Halo PC

Contents:
Chapter 1. Getting started (Updated)
Chapter 2. Halo Custom Edition---Getting Started

Chapter 1: Getting started
So, you are asking "How do I get Halo PC?". Well, there are a few ways:

In order to download it on a PC, you must buy it from walmart or another store

To get it on a MAC, download it from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/hal ocombatevolved.html

Now that you have it for your PC/MAC, lets me show you the basics:
Use the W,A,S and D keys to move
Click on the left mouse button to shoot
Click on the right to throw grenades
Press the left Ctrl button to crouch
Press F to melee an enemy
Press G to switch between frag and plasma grenades
Press Q to activate flashlight
In multiplayer, press T to talk to everyone, Y to talk to team only, and H to talk with only the people in the vehicle you are in

When you first start the game up, you will see the main menu, where you can control everything:
Campaign- Start a new campaign or continue one.

Multiplayer- Play with or against up to 15 other people via LAN or Internet on one of the 19 multiplayer maps

Proflies- Switch, Delete, or make new profiles to use in multiplayer and campaign.

Settings- Set the settings for the current account you are on

Credits- Shows the credits of who made this game

Quit- Exit Halo and returns to desktop

Mouse Controls:
Left button: Fire weapon
Right button: Throw Grenade
Middle/scroll button: Zoom (Use the Z button if your mouse does not have a middle button)

To join a multiplayer game, you must choose Join an Internet game, then click on the Refresh or Get List buttons on the bottom left, and then choose a server to join. To change multiplayer color, in Settings, go to Choose Color or something like that, and choose the color and press OK.

Chapter 2: Halo Custom Edition----Getting Started
Halo Custom Edition is similar to Halo PC, only there's no campaign and it does not work on the Mac, only PC. To get it for a PC, you must buy a copy of Halo PC, and then download Halo Custom Edition from www.halomaps.org, and use the 25-digit CD code on the CD case of Halo PC to download and install it. You can download custom maps and play and test them, and also, you can make maps yourself using the Halo Editing Kit. But I dont have the time to explain it. But I will explain everything later...

Uhm... is this supposed to be a joke?

I think UXB already has your job, anyway.

Oh, and you also forgot to tell us how to operate the main menu. I don't know how to start the game.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

The Plasma Pistol is the best weapon, right?

Something smells fishy...

you know the game come with a manual. The manual has the control list and such......

You should make a more elaborate list or something more unique:)

I need help! I don't know how to change my player color, or join multi-player games =[

I'm trying to get better in multiplayer... Does jumping up and down and randomly firing the assault rifle work?

it works wonders. jumping up and down makes it so you can't get hit or killed, so if you get killed by someone using a pistol, its safe to say they are aimbotting. assault rifle is pretty much the best gun so use it as much as possible.

If you mean getting the game out of the box, then use some scissors or knife to cut open the top or bottom. If you dont have either, then just pry the top or bottom open.

Thanks, that worked great!

I'm trying to install it now, but it's asking for a key to unlock it or something. My game didn't come with a key, and even if it did, how am I supposed to plug it in? Does it fit in the USB port?

On the CD case inside the box, on it, there is a yellow peice of paper glued to it. On it is a 25-digit code. To install the game, you must enter that code.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.

Thanks, I got it installed and working! I used your original guide to figure the controls out. :)

I was wondering, sometimes when people kill me they seem to crouch on top of me a few times. Any idea what this means? Is it a cheat?

Also, I got told to snap my disc. What's that all about?

Their crouching on top of you is just their way of saying "Welcome to Halo PC. Have fun." The person who wants you to break your disc means you need to eat more waffles. I hoped I help.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I lol'd a lot. Good show, gentlemen.
