BioHalo v1.1a Singleplayer Map for CE

BUNGIE HAS CUT CUSTOM SINGLE-PLAYER SUPPORT FROM HALO 2 VISTA. COPY, PASTE, AND BOLDFACE THIS INTO YOUR SIGNATURE IF YOU ARE AGAINST THIS CUT.

I know that Halo CE is unsupported, but I have a quick question:

Just who is in charge of the MOTD that shows when you enter the internet lobby on PC and CE? Bungie? Microsoft? Gearbox? GameSpy? For the past year, it's been telling me to upgrade to the latest version of Halo, when I already have. This hasn't been a big deal, but lately I've seen soo many people asking about it, and since a few other people and I have gotten into making our own title screens, we tried removing it, only to find that it was tied to the rules and the server player list.

Or, is the MOTD coded into Halo's executable?

Are you talking about the MOTD that appears in the Gamespy lobby? Or the MOTD in the Halo CE server? If you are talking about the Lobby MOTD, then it's probably controlled by the Gamespy master server. The Server MOTD is controlled by whoever is running the server (duh?)
