Frequently asked Questions

  1. Can I use a Crack to play the game?
    NO!
    The Halo CE game when played online checks the CD key hash against the server database and will reject duplicate keys.
  2. Can I get a key from you or ask for it in the forum?
    Absolutely NOT!
    Doing so violates the primary rule of the website and forum.  The Halo PC game is available for less than $20.00 save your milk money and buy a copy.
  3. Can I run Halo CE on a Mac?
    No.  The Halo CE game was developed for Windows only.  The game was developed by Gearbox Software who made the Windows version of Halo 1. The MAC version was developed by another company and they did not make a CE version.
  4. If I have  the MAC version of Halo can I use the Key for Halo CE
    NO. You can only use the Halo for Windows Key.
  5. Can I make my own maps?
    Yes you can. There is an editing kit available that allows you to create your own maps. However it is not a point and click process. You need to have a 3D editing program like 3DS Max or GMAX and some 3D modeling skills.  The HEK (Halo Editing Kit) is a series of programs used to develop maps and there is a step learning curve to master these programs.
  6. Will Halo CE download custom maps for me?
    No.
    Halo CE does not have in-game downloads. You must have a copy of the map in your \maps folder before you can join a server running that map.
  7. Where can I get custom maps?
    From this website www.halomaps.org
