Once you download the maps, open the .rar with an archiving program such as WinRAR/WinZIP(you should already have one of these though) drag the .map file into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps


have fun with your new maps :)

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.

You should have considered doing this first, but I'll be nice and give you a 3-step tutorial even the most inexperienced can handle.

Step 1: Download and install Winrar.
Step 2: Copy the file ending with ".map" and put it in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps

Step 3: Open Halo: Custom Edition and play the map.

If you can't follow these simple steps and get it to work, give up and sell your copy of Halo PC.

And you might wanna consider changing your name. Given how simple your problem is, and your inability to handle it, I doubt you have the capability to pwn anyone.

Something smells fishy...

Step 1: Download and install Winrar.

There's also a free alternative to Winrar called iZarc.

Never heard of it.

WinRAR stays free. It just has a bothersome warning after 30 days.

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.

7-zip.

So Winrar is a product that is sold yet you can get it for free? I'm just saying. I've used the program before but I uninstalled it before the license expired.

Actually, yeah. After the license expires, it's still unrestricted. It just pops up with an annoying "please buy the software" notification when you start it up, which can be closed just as quickly.

Weird, eh?
