Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

To get Halo: Custom Edition, you need to activate it with Halo PC's product key. Then you can use HEK.

There's some good guides around the internet on making some maps, the stuff is really fun to do!

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

You are a pirate.

Please buy the game and try again.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

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

A pirate is someone who attacks sea-faring vessels.

Something smells fishy...

Being a pirate or committing piracy can also involve: "The unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright."

Wow... I never thought I'd see the day that skewed definition would end up in a dictionary.

The reason I downplayed unauthorized copying was my thought that taking someone's belongings, like a car or laptop or whatever really harms a person, but making a copy of something doesn't harm them at all. I abide by the law, but still can't understand how "intellectual property" is ethical.

Basically I don't feel right condemning people for making copies.

Custom Edition is a free add-on to a previously purchased Halo 1 PC.
You need to own Halo 1 PC, and use it's product key for Custom Edition.

You are a -blam!- ing PIRATE!

Here you go

but seriously, stop going around getting games illegally. It's worse than doing the same with music. Musicians still can make money off of concerts, game designers have no other way to get the money they deserve for their work. Halo PC is a great game worthy of being bought.

Check your local Best Buy in the PC section. My Best Buy had about 4 *new* copies of Halo PC.

I understand what you mean. I had to buy CoD2 for the PC again recently and I was almost driven to download it. I couldn't find it anywhere, but, I finally figured out that you could buy/download it from Best Buy's website. Sadly they don't have the same situation for Halo: Combat Evolved.

(The only reason I was even slightly tempted to was because I had already bought it way back in the day.)

Illegally copying the intellectual property of an individual, a company, or organization...etc. is stealing. Stealing is taking property without consent. Intellectual property is property therefore it can be stolen.

Stealing in any form causes harm. Intellectual property is a valuable possession that when stolen induces a feeling of loss. Imposing a feeling of loss is harmful.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

You mean "ergo." But I digress.

You know that thing that it asks you when you installed HCE? It's called a CD key. You can only get one from a legit copy of HPC. Gearbox developed Halo Custom Edition to be used only by those who own a legitimate copy of HPC. Therefore, by using Custom Edition without a legit CD key, you're a pirate.

Mine must of had the cd key already entered into it was given as a gift.

I don't think a feeling of loss is life-threatening or usually very harmful. I also think "intellectual property" is an arbitrary term that implies absolute ownership over a thought or idea when neither copyright, trademark or a patent do this. None of those three processes were designed to give ownership to an idea or invention. They were meant to give temporary rights to the author to encourage creativity and innovation. It's mainly the bosses of megacorporations who put money over people's rights that believe anyone can "own" an idea. Just check out the US constitution and you'll see the definitions of copyright and patent don't create owners.
