Since HEK is a form of "Hacking", bungie and microsoft would never offer it with the game although it is legal. Adding HEK would Be like adding some mods like flaming warthogs and forest gulch. Not so good.


[color=red] IT JUST WOULD'NT WORK. [/color]

The HEK didn't come with the game since it wasn't made yet when it shipped....
and its pretty large, so they may have wanted to realese it as a dl...

I also own halo on the X BOX but i got it for the PC, i was kinda dissapointed at first because the story line is the same as the X Box, but when i started toplay it online i found it was worth it.

Halo CE is Halo but has been made to accept useser created maps, Gearbox did not one to realse it as a patch as it's simply too big for people with a 56k connection to download,

Since there are not going to be any more updates or enhancements to the PC version, just save your money and buy Half-Life 2. We all know that Valve will support their games for years and will provide great tools for the modding community (just look at what they have done with half life). You already have played the best part of Halo PC which is the single player. The multiplayer had so much potential but was poorly executed and no one seems to be in a position to enhance it (read fix the broken aspects). Gearbox can't touch it and even if they could Bungie/MS wouldn't pay them to. Bungie is busy with Halo 2 and even after that I wouldn't expect anything more than maybe a Longhorn fix (not to be confused with a patch). Just borrow it, say 'wow it looks good'... play online, say 'wow I can't hit the guy right in front of me'..give it back and move on.
