The site serves as a popular hub for map-makers and modders.

==Channels==
'''The site is updated every two weeks, making every section of the channels new and fresh. '''
 
===Halo CE Maps===
 
The Halo Custom Edition game (Halo CE) is a free unsupported upgrade and standalone program that will install alongside of your Halo PC game. Unlike Halo PC, The Halo CE game allows you to play and or create custom maps for multiplayer on-line play. All map files and utilities on the website are for the Halo CE game only.
 
Contains updated custom maps which ranges from custom maps, modified custom maps, maps for machinima to custom tags for making a custom maps. The channel also has a tutorial section where it would teach the visitor or user on how to create a simple box map, which proves to be very effective if followed closely.
 
It also keeps track of which maps is the most played map in the Halo lobby and previews certain good maps at home. Most of the custom maps uploaded are good, balanced and even to be another mission for bored gamers. The graphics of the custom maps tends to be updated a bit as modders and map-makers tend to put a few rendered scenery, weapons, vehicles and even the characters.
 
===Halo 2 Vista Maps===
 
The Halo 2 Vista game (H2V) is the sequel to the Halo PC version game. Originally developed for the Xbox gaming platform the Halo 2 Vista game is the PC version specifically for users running the Windows Vista Operating system. All map files and utilities on the website are for the Halo 2 Vista PC version game only.
 
Features custom maps for the Halo 2 Vista. It also has the same tutorial on map-making but with extra features. With more freedom of creating custom maps, the website has a few custom tags to make the player look like MasterChief in Halo3. Custom tags such as the weapon placement when not in use and Master Chief armour in Halo 3 can be found within the file sections.
 
Because of the fanatical game, fans have come up with pre-Halo3 maps to be uploaded for Halo 2 Vista. Some even wrote scripts or commands for certain items to behave as its predecessor in Halo3 such as having the MA5C Assault Rifle or the Gravity Hammer within modded maps.
