So, I was playing Halo CE (XBox) online the other day and i thought. Hey why don't I just get Halo CE for the PC. So, would anyone reccomend me buying this game? Thx.

Well you can't buy Halo CE (Unless you're stupid lol)... You need to buy Halo PC and then get the free download of Halo CE...

In regards to Halo CE.. It's great for making maps and stuff but i find it's not got as many players on it as Halo PC.

BUT having said that i've been onto many Halo PC servers and a lot of people have either never heard of Halo CE or haven't downloaded it but said they will download it after i've told them about it.

Halo CE is good for PC if you get online at the right time of day and there are a lot of servers... I've been onto it and there's been like 5 servers so i just leave and go to Halo PC.

Halo PC you can edit a lot of things but it's not as editable as Halo CE..

All in all i reckomend you get it =-)

Careful now, Armoured Fury, when he mentions "Halo CE" he might mean "Halo Combat Evolved" not "Halo Custom Edition".

It was so confusing for me at first in the beginning, because Custom Edition and Combat Evolved had the same fricking initials!

Very true.. I guess that somebody on XBox (may) not have heard of Halo Custom Edition.. If you're talking about getting Combat Evolved then.. What can i say GO FOR IT! It's brilliant compared to the XBox version! You should really get it and besides.. You can't use the fuel rod in the XBox version (as far as i'm aware) lol

I told you, Armoured Fury!

Get Halo PC, it's worth it. Sure there are some aspects of it that are disappointing, but it's great fun, and there are a bunch of great features that are unavailable for the Xbox version.

Custom Edition is an added bonus then... I'm sorry for the confusion but i've played Halo PC a LOT more than Halo XBox so when i see "CE" i think Custom Edition because most Halo PC players call it PC not CE (combat evolved)

Let me get this straight...Halo Combat Evolved is Halo PC?

Well of course, but you need to consider the fact that this guy doesn't own Halo PC, and plays on the Xbox version, so you need to consider that he might be referring to Halo PC.

Just so you don't get confused, CWAT, just read this.

Halo PC= Halo Combat Evolved for computer
Halo CE= Halo Custom Edition

Yeah, I got confused about that too, CWAT, so don't worry about it.

Yes the game is worth getting becasue the multiplayer is free and challenging. Couple things you need to consider though. What kind of hardware do you have you want to make sure you have at least the recommended requirements. You also want a broadband connection to the internet dial-up is to slow.

Yeh i'm sorry for confusing you... To people who play Halo on their pc's...

Halo PC = HALO
Halo CE = Haloce Custom Edition

Just to clarify things even more (thnx to guy above)

Yeah, I was going to mention that, Iggwilv. You'll want an above average connection, and let's just hope you've got a good gaming computer, because it's not going to look like the Xbox version at all if you've got a computer with a crappy integrated chipset.

If you want to know what Halo Custom Edition is, just check out the sticky thread at the top of the Maw.

Or maybe go to http://www.HaloMaps.org to find out more...

Basicly on Halo Custom Edition (CE) people have made many many maps.. A lot of them (but not most) consist of Halo 2 remakes such as Zanzibar, etc.. It's all good if you can get the players

Oh, just wondering. My friend told me that there were a few new maps for the pc (only a few). Is this Halo PC or Halo CE?

The sticky for info on Custom Edition is right there, when you enter the Maw.

Or maybe go to [url]www.HaloMaps.org[/url] to find out more...
There. I did the link for you.

In Halo PC, there are six new maps that are Halo PC exclusive. They are Timberland, Death Island, Gephyrophobia, Danger Canyon, Ice Fields, and Infinity.

Ignore Custom Edition for now, it's practically the same thing as Halo PC, except multiplayer based, with tons of downloadable content available for it.

Yeh i suggest you get Halo CE (combat evolved) and get used to that.. Trust me.. Playing online against people using your keyboard is different and better.. I'd play it on PC any day
