What am I doing wrong? The map was downloaded as a .rar file - do i need to change it to a .map file? Can someone give me some pointers? I know what folder to save it to - c:/programfiles/microsoft games/halo ce/maps - but it's a .rar fileformat, and all the others are .map

please let me know what i'm doing wrong - thank you!

Do a search on Google for Winrar or go to webattack.com and look in their freeware section under "zip utilities" for a free uncompressor. A .rar file is just like a .zip file in that it is compressed. You need a program that understands this compression algorithm in order to extract the .map file out of it. Hope this helps. Any further questions, let me know.

exactly as you said it, you need winrar, go to google and type in winrar. download it and go and download any maps you want. go to maps. From there you will see your level as a .rar file. from just right click, and click on "extract here", and thats all, the level is now in a playable format, .map

thats all. =)
