Maybe what you should try to do first first is to actually install it. That might be a start. :)

How many of these topics have you made? Maybe instead of LISTENING to us PC gamers, you should go ask your 300 year old grandma how to run Halo...I'm sure she'll know.

Wow guys, real mature, that really helped him.

Glitch fan, first install the game, that is easy enough if you have a halo pc key. Install to default locations, unless you have partitions set up different, which I doubt. Once installed, it will want an update. You can update step by step in teh game, or you can do it in once shot by following these steps. It has to be manually downloaded. Or is that PC? Well, here a link anyways. http://www.mofunzone.com/game_patch_downloads/halo_combat_evo lved_custom_edition_1_07.shtml
Download this to desktop. Then once that is done, you need to cut it, and move it to your Halo CE folder. That is located by going to "My Computer" then "Program Files" then "Microsoft Games" then Halo Custom Edition. Paste the file here. You should see the file appear. If you don't, merly look for the file with the shield and skull, that is named haloce_patch_1.07. Double click. Follow any steps, and you should be fully updated and able to play online. Then you need to get maps so you can play in games besides ones running the standard maps. But first, in order for you to be able to install any maps, you need a program called winrar, which is quite safe, and easy to use. Download from here. http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10614813.html?tag= lst-0-1

Install to wherever. Now for the maps. http://hce.halomaps.org/ Great download site. Lets start with a single map, http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2194

Click download. Download to desktop. When done, cut the map, and go to the CE folder as I told earlier. In the folder is another folder labled maps. Open it. Paste here. The icon should look like three books. Now right click it, and select, "Extract Here." The map is now installed and ready to use in CE. I advise you delete the compressed map, the one you moved and right clicked on as you dont need it and it takes up room if you leave it. That is how you get all maps. You can choose to delete the compressed map as well as the readme files that are extracted to. Just be sure to keep the file that ends with .map. Got it? If you start CE, you will see the map if you look through maps on your lan. I advise you download a map pack from that site, then be able to play online in other games. Be warned, the more maps you have the slower CE loads. I have always had a big problen when it comes to updating CE, always gives me lots of bull, so if you have the same problem, pm me. Ya ya to the more known on the forum, I probably could have just directed him to the top of the forum there, but I know exactly what he is trying to figure out. Took me two weeks to figure out how to get maps on CE. Right after it came out. Back before I understood computers, and file paths.
