If you have not already got the latest patch to remove the disk check , get it here.

The process is fairly simple if you the regular working after the above patch. Note the patch is REQUIRED before you proceed with installing the Custom Edition. The files are available on the actual site, I am just mirroring them here for anyone who wants to use the shortcut. I am also uploading the most common maps you will need if you want to join any of the servers. If you don;t have the map you will be kicked out of the server automatically and then you have to exit Halo CE, download Map, copy over the maps folder and then start again. Yikes!.

So anyway here are the important files.

1. Halo CE Installer - Install this first before you copy any maps.
Maps
2. Extinction
3. Yoyorast Island (the Hog race is the best fun I have ever had)
4. Coldsnap
5. Hugeass

After you have installed the Custom Edition and downloaded the maps you want you can install the maps simply by copying to the right place, more info here http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?nid=330. Here you can find other maps by popularity, slower download but atleast you have something to get started while all those maps download.


Have fun and please pick up your team mates when you are driving the hog.

Not very long ago and due to delay i bought a copy of SC2 for the regular retail price. AND ITS NOT CHEAP. compared to all titles released int the past few years this stands as the single most expensive release.

However to my anger, discontent and dismay it turns out you can play SC2 FREE until 2011. which is good enough given that I would have bored out of it by then and the world is coming to an end in 2012 anyway so who gives a damn.

As I was informed by a colleague in my office, they are indeed playing it for free when you sign up on their website.

Hey blizzard how about I get f**king 80% off eh.

I don't know the exact details on where you can sign up since i already have an account and dont give a rats a**. but here's the link if you want to try Blizzard battleNet

If you went looking for Microsoft Halo PC Combat Evolved or Halo 2 files it will be hard to find. They have pretty much removed the original page that the usual MS games have. The files posted are usually outdated.

I gathered a list of must have stuff for halo PC adventures to continue.

[latest No CD OFFICIAL (yes from bungie themselves) patch for Halo PC Combat Evolved]
Those who already have Halo PC CD and our installing again they would need the latest patch. (those who are using downloaded Halo with keys, well you got lucky as well). The patch removes disk check (bless those guys, finally they saw the problem). I couldn't play halo for years because my first CD was completely scratched. Now my pristine condition CD can remain in safe storage after installation. This patch which is version 1.08 I had to find from bungie forums. I have already posted it here. You don't need any other Patch as of this writing.
