Well, I wanna download it...but can I trust it? Also, must I download other programs to make maps, as well as download to add one? I know, its ridiculous to ask this stuff, but I just want to be sure.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Firstly, to make maps you need 3ds Studio Max. About 500 bucks I think.

For a trustable download, it depends on where you get it. I recommend Halomaps.org.

EDIT
Here is a direct link from Halomaps.org to DL Custom Edition.

Really? $500 to make a stupid map for Halo CE? Well, there goes one reason for me to download it.

Yeah, I know about Halomaps.org, thats where I was going to download it. But what maps do you recommend? And must I download maps to play them?

Yeah, you have to DL them to play them. Anything on Halomaps.org should be safe (That's where I get mine).
I would recommend getting all the H2 ones. Like H2_Zanzibar, H2_Coagulation ect.
Also get mothergoats map pack.

I've heard some positives about Mothergoat, I'll look into it. And being a player of Halo 2, I'll be sure to DL Zanzibar and Co-ag.

you can use gmax to make maps, its just a bit harder. gmax is a free version of 3ds max if you don't know what it is

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

To make a truly great map takes time, detirmination, time, skill, time, and patience. And time, too. Don't forget the massive amount of time you'll need to devote to your map to prevent it coming out like boombox. God that map sux ass.

Posted by: xTRIGGER092x-Oh yes, am I able to still play regular Halo PC?Right on the home page of the Halo CE Maps site it says:

"The Halo Custom Edition game (Halo CE) is a free unsupported upgrade and standalone program that will install alongside of your Halo PC game. Unlike Halo PC The Halo CE game allows you to play and or create custom maps for multiplayer on-line play. All map files and utilities on this website are for the Halo CE game only. You must own a licensed copy of Halo PC, have the CDROM and the license key in order to install this game."

Halo Custom Edition Game

HaloCE Hot-Fix v1.07
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1056

You need both files. You also need to download any custom maps you wish to play BEFORE you can join a server running them.

Whoa, TRIGGER, you just got UXB'd! He pulled out the quote from a website and brought in links and everything, clearly explaining everything and anything, which is his classic signature move!

You kidding me? Dennis probably has those lines saved in a text file so he can easily copy + paste.

I have nothing on him.

Well I'm old, I'm slow and and like the character in the Halo CE Chronicles I am slightly damaged. But I was "in the Science division after all" <laugh>

And yes I do have the FAQ answers in a text file to copy and paste becasue so many people don't think to do a little research before asking questions.

Oh and those links are not to the Forum posts but directly to the files for download. I figure if you didn't read the stickies in the first place sending you there would be pointless. [:)]
