I downloaded it too i'm worried about it. I know the guy who got sued. Killa pranked the guy and made him think that he was gonna sue him again when he was granted SA in Teamspeak and he changed a channel name.

What did he get sued for? How can you be sued for using a map if someone's put it up for download? Are we talking about a map made for CE or what? Because if you make a map and someone uses it you can't sue someone just for that unless they charged someone to play it which would be dumb because you couldn't charge someone to play Halo CE anyway.

I don't get it, please explain this thread.

Is this about another leak? Oooooh boy... Someday map makers will get a clue. Until then there will be leaks, there will be hissy fits, there will be unfinished maps as a result, and there will be a lot of disapointment over something that could have been completely prevented in the first place.

I don't know if this thread is about a leak of Hypothermia or what, but the quoted post directly above is the biggest crock of crap I've ever heard. You don't get adware or viruses from downloading maps. You get adware and viruses from surfing for too much pr0n and downloading illegal data from filesharing services. I've downloaded and used over 200 user-created maps and thus far am 100% adaware/virus free. Not that such evidence should automatically make all future map files safe, but there's incentive for you doubters.

I don't know why it's all of a sudden become popular to slander HCE with this kind of crap in an effort to dissuade people from giving the game a try, but I can tell you it's coming from the utmost bottom dregs of the LAME barrel.

Wasn't hypothermia released several months ago? How the hell can it just all of a sudden become illegal?

Exactly, releasing something for free download means giving you the right to use it. That's like giving someone something for free then accusing them of stealing.

Also, how exactly does a map get 'leaked'? I t sounds to me more like the map was intentionally released for beta, then this guy decided he wanted to make money off it and so decided he did want people using the one he'd already given out.

By the way, I believe that since Bungie or Gearbox own the copyright to Halo CE, you can't legally make money from a map you created for it. Mods have to be free unless you organise a deal with the game maker, like Counter Strike and Half Life.

Either way, what kind of moron charges for a Halo map? You can't possibly sue anyone for using it anyway.

Oh and I agree with Leoht about Halo CE. I have over 100 maps, and never ever found a virus or adware.

Are you people idiots?
1. Hypothermia has not yet been released
2. Even if it was leaked, there is no way you can get sued for downloading it.
3. If you download maps from a site like halomods, onespartin, or haloimpulse, I garentee you won't get a virus. I have over 200 maps with zero viruses.
4. Halo CE pwns Halo PC

seriously though, don't listen to these morons, any map on CE is perfectly safe for download.
