When you download new maps,they usually come zipped.You need an unzipping tool like 'Winrar' or 'IZarc' to do this.Once you have unzipped them,move the '.map' file into your Halo CE maps folder...That's it.

there is no option to try and extract the map. It is already a file, it cannot do anything else that I am aware of.
