Subject: Just Got Halo CE

Hello, I just picked up Halo CE for my PC. It runs fine but are there any other things you people recommend for it like maps or mods?

I am just running the game and no add-ons or such. But I really suck since I do not have a controller for my PC.

blarg.

get the Custom Edition. It enables you to run custom maps, mods, etc. Plenty of people still play online, so there is no shortage of good games. But yeah, check out the custom edition, and learn a few devmode commands, and you'll increase the fun by about 6 squillion %.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Well, my dev trainer screwed up the super jump, i would jump, and it would spaz until I got he the ground. And no die just restarted the game. And I can't get any of the maps to work. Yes i downloaded the Custom Edition.

Ok. I heard the Custom Edition is a separate game. Is it just mulitplayer or something?

Something smells fishy...

Halo: Custom Edition is mainly for multiplayer. But you can still play singleplayer levels/missions using the console.

During the Halo: Custom Edition installation process you will be required to enter a legitimate Halo: Combat Evolved PC product key. Without the key you will not be able to install Halo: Custom Edition.

I just downloaded and installed Custom Edition. I just put the key thing in and works great. Thanks.

When I download maps do I just save the files to maps in the Custom Edition under games and such?

No. You go to where you installed the maps. Right click your shortcut, go to properties, click "Open File Location", and there you will find a folder named "maps". That's where you place the maps.

Let there be CHAOS!

Yes, just place them in the ".\Halo Custom Edition\maps" directory.

Also I would suggest enabling the dev console. To do this, right click on your shortcut to Custom Edition and add "-console" (without quotes) on to the end of the "Target". This will let you access the console in-game with the ~ (tilde) key. This way, for instance, if you download a single player map, to play it you have to open the console on the main menu and type map_name "name_of_map.map"

I thought you just put them under ".\Halo Custom Edition\maps" I saw it before.

So downloaded maps won't work on the normal Halo? Just Custom Edition.

Yes Custom Maps only Work on CE.

There are people out there who do mod for both. but its rare to See a PC mod. It's usaly CE.

Oh yeah and another thinkg you should get, Xfire. Since Halo pc dosnt have a Friend's list Xfire is the best one to get, along side of Steam that is.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

I havent played it in a while but I intend to go back on it soon as the mods are brilliant.

Yes it is. If it weren't the feature wouldn't be there.

I already have Custom Edition and a few maps. Hopefully will download a few more.
