I downloaded the map h2_zanzibar (the description said it was the latest version), placed it in the maps folder for Halo Custom edition, but when I try to join a game with this map, it tells me I'm unable to join the server.

I can join all the other games, just not this one (It's the only custom map i've tried so far [big downloads!])

Can anyone help me out?

Did you extract the map file from the RAR to begin with?

The H2 CE team ignored the basics of Revision control and released two (maybe more) different versions of the h2_zanzibar level. If a server is running one of them and you have the other you can't join and as you have seen will not know why.

These are the two I know about:

Halo 2 CE Zanzibar - Date: 02/08/05

H2 Zanzibar Updated - Date: 07/23/05

It will be pretty hilarious if you put in the RAR file in the Maps folder instead of extracting, not saying that's what you think or anything. xD

What UXB said is correct. My suggestion: just download both maps, so you can join all zanzibar servers, without going through all the hassle to see if what they have is what you got.
