I just got CE, and I can't figure out for the life of me where the modded games are. In the multiplayer screen all I see is mostly empty games, and very few with unique map names..help?

Try tinkering with your filters. In the multiplayer screen, click on the "Filters" button and get rid of games with zero players in them. Also, make sure to change the filter that allows you to see custom maps.

If you've already done that, the unfortunate fact is that there aren't many popular dediccated servers that run custom maps. Actually, there are deds that run custom maps, it's just you never see people in them. It's hard to get big games going on empty servers, unless you can get about four people in there to begin with. I wish HBO would incorporate one or two of the best custom maps in their rotation, rather than playing the same boring original maps over and over again. :/

Yes, when you first get CE, the filter is off to show all the new maps that you don't have. You should look for the most played maps, by turning off this filter, and downloading them.

*sigh* ¬__¬

If you haven't gathered from what's been posted above, it's a new stand-alone version of Halo multiplayer that allows the creation and playing of custom maps. For further information and links to a free download, check the link in my signature.
