#REDIRECT [[Halo Custom Edition]]
'''Halo: Custom Edition''' is a pure free-standing [[multiplayer]] add-on for [[Halo PC]]. It's free-standing in the sense that you don't need to have Halo PC installed to play the game, however you need the cd-key from the retail game. The point of Halo: Custom Edition is to allow modders to create their own content such as new maps and mods which will hopefully result in a more varied game experience and extend the lifetime of Halo. However, due to the large size of the Halo Custom Edition installation file (and long download times for dial-up users), Halo Custom Edition rarely has more than 200 players on at once.
 
Along with the ability to mod the game [[Gearbox Software]] also fixed a number of bugs and graphical issues that can still be found in Halo PC.

There are also 'cheats' for halo CE, called [[Developer Mode]], more commonly called devmode, or dev. It is used by map designers to test out maps they make. It can also be used to cheat in single-player maps that can be downloaded. However they can only be used in single-player maps because when dev is activated, the host can only start a server through LAN. The only way for it to work in multiplayer is to download a small app which allows you to enable or disable devmode without restarting the game, thus allowing you to enable it within a multiplayer game. Even then most of the cheats can only be used by the host.
