*<b>CMT Snowgrove</b> - A map made by the Custom Mapping Team, and features almost entirely custom content, including effects, sounds, and animations. It is shaped like a crescent, with a large network of inter-cliff tunnels, providing multiple routes of attack and excellent sniper spots. In the middle are three bases, two containing teleporters linked to the main home bases. Some of the more notable weapons are: a modification of the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]] with an under barrel grenade launcher, the [[Spartan Laser]], the cut-down flamethrower, a Halo 3 [[Type-25 Carbine]] and an MA5K assault rifle. | *<b>CMT Snowgrove</b> - A map made by the Custom Mapping Team, and features almost entirely custom content, including effects, sounds, and animations.

*<b>Coldsnap</b> - A very large, snowy map. It contains two bases: the Red Base contains four different Warthog variants, four jets, and two Longswords whereas the Blue Base has Warthogs, four jets, four Scorpion tanks and a Mythos. The Mythos is a walker vehicle, with a cannon attached on top, which is believed by some to be a small [[MAC]] cannon. This map is frequently played and is by far the largest custom map ever made.{{fact}} | *<b>Coldsnap</b> - A very large, snowy map.

**<b> | ***<b>Extinction</b> - An enormous map made for huge vehicle battles with a [[Halcyon-class Cruiser]] ship model and the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ship model as bases. Vehicles include [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelicans]], [[Longsword|Longswords]] that launches nuclear bombs, fan-made Skyhawk Jets, [[Seraph|Seraph Fighters]], [[Phantom|Phantoms]], [[Spectre]]s, modified fuel-rod Ghosts, and a [[Scarab]]. There are also variations of [[Warthog|Warthogs]] and a handful of [[Scorpion|Scorpions]]. Another vehicle called the Mythos is included, which serves as the Human analog to the Covenant Scarab, despite being much weaker. | ||
***<b>Hugeass</b> - A massive map with a large hilly plain separating the bases and serving as the primary battlefield. Two hangars in the sides of the cliff walls surrounding the map serve as the bases. They contain two Pelicans, two Longswords, four Rocket Warthogs, a few small cloaking vehicles called Tachikomas, based on the manga ''Ghost in the Shell'', and a large, white scorpion-like vehicle named the Scorpion Tank. The map is so large that the default fog-plane is visible, causing only half the map to be visible at one time. This can be fixed using several [[Developer Mode]] commands. | |||
A third party program, called the Halo Editing Kit Plus, is able to rip everything from a map, including the BSP. This allows users to mod maps entirely. A very often modded map is Blood Gulch, with more changes than other maps. However, some mappers use the HEK+ to protect their maps to prevent users from ripping anything from the map. | ***<b>Yoyorast Island</b> - A race-based map filled with walkways as well as a few vehicles, mainly Warthogs, and fan-made [[Mongooses]]. These Mongooses are of the same design as the ones cut from Halo 2, due to balancing reasons, and have been praised for their similarity to the Halo 3 Mongoose. It contains some excellent sniping positions, a Warthog race course, and even a "secret room". This map is designed for the [[Race]] game type, but is also designed for [[CTF]]. | ||
Before downloading HEK it is recommended that you have a base knowledge on computer animation and 3D designing. | ***'''The Floods''' parts 1 and 2 - popular ai maps that recreates the Halo campaign in multiplayer for 1 mission. Many obstacles mostly jumps near the end though. All regular Halo 1weapons. #1 Has 1 Longsword at the end, #2 has 3 at the end. There is a part 3 but it isn't recomended because of the amount of ais it has in it. It can exception you out of Halo. (Note: Can only be played on the Slayer types.) | ||
***'''The RPG series - '''A series of maps designed to role play on, or to make videos on. These are not recomended for wars. These maps mostly have modified weapons, that have to be spawned by dev-mode. Some weapons include H2 pistols, AK-47, and more.On RPG Beta 4-3 you play as a elite, on 4 test alpha 4 you play as a Marine. | |||

*vailable for download from any Halo Community Website, the [[Halo Editing Kit]], commonly referred to by its acronym, '''HEK''', is a repackaging of the development tools that Bungie created and used in the development process of ''Halo''. The ''Halo'' Editing Kit was released for the creation of custom content for ''Halo Custom Edition''. It is a free, unsupported add-on released by Gearbox Software. | |||
*his editing kit includes, ''Guerrilla'', a game resource and tag editor, in addition to ''Sapien'', a mapping and object placement editor, and ''Tool'', a map resource compiler. Most original content must first be modeled in 3ds max (or Gmax) and then converted to a HEK friendly format using the ''Blitzkrieg'' exporter and ''Tool'' to be edited or added to a custom map. This allows users and players to created completely original and barely similar maps. | |||

*here are also 'cheats' for Halo CE, called [[Developer Mode]] (commonly called devmode). It is used by map designers to test out maps they make. Devmode is only available for LAN use and is usually considered to be a single-player only variation. The only way for it to work in multiplayer is to download a small application which allows you to enable or disable devmode without restarting the game, thus allowing you to enable it within a multiplayer game, and disable it when the game is over, or the game will [[Exception|crash]]. Even then most of the [[cheats]] can only be used by the host. However, clients may not be able to fully see the effects of the cheats. It is also a common mistake of new users to attempt to cheat while online. There is a dev-mode for Hosts online, but it has to be downloaded, and can't be used on other servers without a rcon. | |||
