I am considering getting Halo CE and Custom Edition, but have a few questions.

How does the map editor work in terms of hosting a lobby on your map? The game ships with 'x' number of maps, so do you set up your own server then select your map as the map?

Also, how laggy are the games usually? I played the demo MP and most games I found had like 150+ ping. As awesome as the maps are, they aren't going to be fun if I'm lagging.

Any answer is appreciated.

Hey i have CE and i LOVE it. I haven't figured out how to use the map editor but i do download maps from halomaps.org. The game comes with all the maps from CE(obviously).Setting up a server is easy you just go to multiplayer and select host a lan/online server then select the maps from the list.You can also choose a server to join from a list. I've lagged out of some games but that is a rare occurance. I HIGHLY ADVISE GETTING custom edition.

First of all, wrong forum. You should have posted this in the Halo PC forum.

Second, what do you mean by how does the map editor work in a lobby? Halo Editing Kit doesn't work anything like Forge and you'll need to do normal modding before attempting Halo Editing Kit.

Here's a thread I made for people in your situation

Halo PC/Custom Edition servers are less laggy than the Demo. I definitely endorse getting Halo PC.
