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.

Halo Custom Edition is "unsupported", published by Gearbox Software, who are the people who worked with Bungie to port the game over from Xbox to Windows. Halomaps.org is a well-known site to download all sorts of Halo-related stuff for Windows, and is regarded as trustworthy by many players. Even the links to Halo CE from the Gearbox site lead to a 3rd party for the download. Also, it's legal, but you must own a copy of original Halo PC with its product key to use Halo Custom Edition.

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.

No, but you will have to have a Halo PC CD key to install Custom Edition.

As far as I know, no. Nor is there any reason to prefer this site over Halomaps.org.

None whatsoever.

Halo Custom Edition was, as node said, made by Gearbox. However, I think Sawnose (the only guy supporting Halo PC) has been working on patches for Halo CE.
