Subject: Some Halo PC questions

I just ordered Halo PC from Amazon and should be getting it this week. I am wondering what to expect? How active is the community? Is it easy to find games? And are there any patches that need to be downloaded? And what exactly is Custom Edition I keep hearing about? Is that like a mod of some sort? And do more people play halo Custom Edition or Halo PC? Thanks in advance for help, sorry if these are noob questions, but I'm a noob, lol.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

1. A game that is still alive.
2. Very active.
3. Yes.
4. Only 1.09
5. Custom Edition is a separate game, which gives you the modding and map making support.
6. Yes it is, nice huh?
7. More people play Custom Edition.

Don't worry, noob, at least you didn't get Halo 2 Vista. :D

Btw, here's some downloads for you to get.

Halo Custom Edition
Halo Editing Kit (If you're interested in making maps)
Development Trainer(For both PC and CE
Flycam
Full list of Devmode Commands

Here's some good maps for Halo Custom Edition as well:

Coldsnap
Hugeass
Yoyorast Island
Yoyorast Island v2
Chronopolis C3 Public Beta v. 0.2
CMT Snow Grove
z_Sanctuary_H2_pb2
No Remorse (My favorite map. Its under-played though)
Extinction (A lot of people like this map, but personally, I think its terrible)

There are a ton of other great maps out there, and, I'm sure I forgot a lot of others that other people will list.

A list of things you'll need to mod Halo PC.

I hope that wraps up about all the questions that you have and helps you out with playing Halo PC/CE to their full extent!
