HALO PC was a marvel when it came out, and then brought editing tools people created for others who made and modded halo PC... but that got old since you couldn't have any big custom content in...

THEN, the onveiling of HALO CUSTOM EDITION, and HALO EDITING KIT...

this is how a new rise all began...

when people all started making their own maps, people were wow'd at just plain box maps, then came more complex maps, where the real fun began...

WARTORNCOVE.MAP ... aka HIVE was created, and it's been a popular map up to this day. It was created sometime near when CE was released

Next came the era of flooded maps, which over 200 maps were released, and then came the era of quality, where quality maps such as Vertigo, Ravine, Oblivion, and New Mombasa Classic were released...

The H2 Team... Nitrousoxcide, Lightning, Reco, and others began creating H2 maps nearly 5 months before the actual game was released.

H2 Zanzibar, H2 New Mombasa H2, H2 BloodGulch, H2 BeaverCreek, and more maps...


The Conversion Mapping Team... M4573R51337, KiLLa, and others created H2 Coagulation, with tags created by NKnave, an H2 weapon, vehicle, and biped tagger who gave a lot of additions to CE

Tiamat and Steelixb, creators of maps such as:
Hugeass>>> 6 kilometer sized map with driveable longswords, pelicans, F15 fighter jets
Islandhop>>>2 islands in awater map with useable boats in water, and ways to get the flag from underwater in CTF
a30_b and a30_B elite>>>>>>a30 campaign map, *reunion tour*, where you got to play in MP as a spartan in 1 map, or as an elite in the other

SonicXtreme, creator of Sonic Online maps in CE and had plans for *ARMORED CORE HCE*:
Sonic Gulch>>> play as multiple random bipeds, sonic, knuckles, tails, amy, ext.
He is in the process of making a huge map for the mods at this very moment...

Myself, Strider Vega/Variance Core
Map:
Vertigo City----IN PROGRESS
CordioVexa Final>>>Finished map with an arena style look and working doors and lifts, near impossible to spawn camp unless there are 8 people in the map already, the music is good to listen to as you fight *Never Surrender* from the H2 soundtrack


The Era of Massive Maps:

Begun with Hugeass, progressing maps are my Vertigo City and Tiamat's and Steelixb's Coldsnap

here's a hint. start the download late. like at 8:00 after you've stopped your daily gaming, and it's just a few hours until you go to sleep. keep the computer on during the night. wake up, got to work/school, come back home, to a wonderfuly compleated download. :)
that's how i did it, at least.
trust me, it's worth it.

first of all, halomaps.org is the burden of all 56Ker's. don't use it, unless you need to; they have little spare bandwith. it takes forever for people to download, even on a fast connection.
in the THIS thread, there is a list of download sites. they're all pretty good, although you may need to sign up before you use a few...

Yeah, I have that problem too. One time I downloaded it and it said it would be complete in 1 hour. Then it is now 15 hours. I backed up the install file, but I lost it. So maybe you should place it somewhere just incase you uninstalled it.

Who bumped this? I saw a thread leading to this one in GBX(Three months ago), and about your download problem: Get a better ISP, remove dangerous files, and use Mozilla. And Opera is really fast.
I'm a Halo CE fanatic. And yes, it "pwns."

Now that you've DLed Halo CE, you have to download the maps played on the servers you want to play. There are various map packs available for download, as mentioned in the original post. Check the guides (link in my sig) for instructions on what you need to unzip maps and how to properly install them on your PC

I think crazy maps are the best, exploring is probably the best part about new maps!
