You have to download it before hand. Unlike Steam based games, Halo's maps contain all the information to play inside the map. That includes the level, bitmaps, weapons, characters, animations, vehicles, and so forth.
With Steam games, everything but the map is on the players computer. So, all that has to be done is a download of the bsp/textures/so-forth
So the reason they never bothered with doing it HaloCE is it was too much to be downloading? So if they do the same with Halo2Vista, everything in the map file, we will be in the same boat?
