What you need to do:
DL Halo Custom Edition from Halomaps.org
Search Zerowing
DL and save the file to your Halo Custom Edition maps.
hit open/with and choose Zipped Folders or Winzip or whatever unzipping program you have.
On the left toolbar you will see the "extract all" option. Extract everything to the below thing:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps
Then back out to your maps folder.
If you only see the first folder, follow the below steps just to be sure it is installed.

There you should re-open the folder and copy the MAP file.
Return to your maps folder and hit paste.

Start CE and it should come up (test it on a LAN first) as "Zerowing" and the picture should show part of a gridlined landmass and say "unkown map"

MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS ON HALO CUSTOM EDITION. ATTEMPTING TO DL THIS TO YOUR ORIGINAL HALO WILL MAKE BIG BOO-BOO.

What is Halo Custom Edition?
It is a form of halo that lets people make their own content and get other peoples content.
It has no campain to make room for the new stuff.
Make a new shortcut and name it Halo Custom Edition and QUINTUPLE CHECK THAT CUSTOM EDITION IS WHERE YOU DO THIS. BOO BOO'S ARE NOT FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Good job, silent one. Course if it's for "dummies" maybe you should say that DL means to download, lol

I think aM Inspire beat you to it.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty good and comprehensive guide. It's a bit more concise than his - that works for some people, I guess.
