Now, I've been playing Halo Custom Edition for a while, without problems. I recently installed some maps, and when I ran Halo Custom Edition, I saw the Halo Image, then I heard the chorus, and in 2 seconds, I got this black on my screen. It was covering about 3/4 of it, and when I minimized (Window Icon Key), I opened Task Manager, and closed it down, and when I did I got an exception. The same thing happened two more times, then restarted my computer, and when I ran it, I saw the Halo image, and then the application closed itself down. The maps in order of download, Hydration (Halo-Universe.com), Ministunt (Halo-Universe.com), H2_Blood_Gulch and H2_Warlock(Direct2U), and Chaos Gulch. (Halomaps.org) My map list is 983 MB and consists of:
Hugeass, Yoyorast Island, H2 Coagulation, H2_Backwoods, Zanzibar, Mombasa, Momentum, Blood Gulch, and Warlock, Chaosgulch, H2-Snowing, Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Danger Canyon, Hang Em' High, warofhog2, Hydration, Ministunt, and finally Wargulch. It is not a graphic problem, and my video card and game has been updated, and I'm about to check for harmful files. The same thing happens to Halo Combat Evolved. Help would be appreciated, thanks!

If you kill halo ce with task manager, you must restart your computer... I wonde rwhy it ddnt work... Ide try removing a few maps from your maps folder, this also allows halo ce to load faster.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It might be a pain, but you could try reinstalling it. If you do that, then hopefully you kept the map downloads so it won't be a problem to reinstall them since you wouldn't have to download them again.
