I have halo ce and know how to download maps and put the .map file into the maps folder. When I go to the internet game list, there is nothing there with custom maps. Where are the custom games!!!

Most custom games take place on non-dedicated servers, unfortunately, so if your filters are set to show only deds, then you might need to change that, although there is almost always one running New Mombasa Classic. The most likely reason you are not seeing custom maps is that you haven't changed the filter in the gamespy server browser. If you click on the Filter button, there is a filter to show custom maps. Why, we'll never know, but the default is set to filter out custom maps. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply!

Is this a filter in the ce game browser or do I have to be on game spy's website? (never noticed the filter).

Sorry, should have been more specific. I'm talking about the in-game browser. There will be a "Filter" button on the bottom of the screen. I think the second from the left or something like that.

Heyyo,

you can also try halospyCE cause it does a gj of finding HaloCE servers, and I don't think it has any filters on by default.

It's all good now. "show custom maps" or whatever it is defaults to "no". Changed it to yes. I did see new mombasa before changing. That map's pretty awesome! I also downloaded the halospyce and will be trying that. Thanks guys!
