One of us, one of us, one of us.

Anyway, you need to unpack it (winrar is good), then, go to your halo directory, go to the maps folder, click on the bloodgulch.map folder in there, put it somewhere safe (you may want it later), then go to your modded bloodgulch.map, and put it in the maps folder. At least thats what I do. :)

The file you downloaded, is a zip. When you unzip it, you'll either get a .ppf or .map, most likely.

If it's .map, make sure it's named bloodgulch.map and place it into the maps folder. PPF requires PPF-O-matic, which is self-explanatory, once you get it.

Get custom edition though, it's a far easier way to have mods/maps.

Your link fails. You obviously tried to use a filtered word in the address.
Anyway, you seem to think we're talking about putting the DL'd map ONTO THE CD. This cannot be done, unless you use a burner. And you DON'T want a modded map on your Halo CD.
You need to go to the Halo directory on your hard drive, should be something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo, then open the maps folder. THAT'S where you stick the modded map. After making a backup copy of the bloodgulch.map that's already there, of course.

ok but do i fully take out the bloodgulch map or do i leave it there.......

and i dunno if this is a bad thing but the ico for the downloaded map is just a like yellow cross hair looking thing and it says "Halo Trial Super Weapon Mod"

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

o god thats one of the most stupidest mods ive ever heard of. they pretty much made every weapon shoot another weapons ammo, why not add in a fuelrod gun that is fully automatic and has no recoil and cant overheat and all it shoots are grunts that have infection forms all over them and the infection forms are pink and they talk like elites how about that!!! seriously dont use mods, keeping it legit is the best way to go........

Post a link to where you got the mod, and just copy your original bloodgulch.map file, you don't need to delete it.

You need to get an archiving program. Just get WinRAR. Search google and download that. Do what it says to install it. After that right click the .rar file and click on "Extract to *what ever the name of the rar file is*" It will put the new fiel on your desktop in a folder named after the un zipped file. Click on the folder and see what type of file it is.

First off its a trial mod, you need the trial version of halo.
Depending on teh type of mod it is you do the following.
If its a PPF file you need PPF studio. You choose bloodgulch from the map file on you computer. TO get to your maps on your computer for regular halo do this
My computer>Local Disk(C)>Program Files>Microsoft Games>Halo>MAPS

I'm not sure what the trial version file is called but its probably just Halo Trial.


If it is a map file just make sure the map is named bloodgulch. And replace the map bloodgulch in the MAPS file.
