Halo CE map installation
I won’t teach you how to do it, but you can see how to install maps from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2449766693 guide. You will need some base files from Custom Edition and might need an extra program named “Mek” for later. It is all extremely well explained on that guide.
The only files you need to revert are the map files. You can leave the bitmap, loc and sounds map files on the regular MCC folder and you’ll be able to play online just fine, so there is no need to remove those.
As a note – custom menus will not work in MCC. Maps such as Airlock Firefight included a special “music” tab on it’s menu which is now inaccessible. That’s the only map I remember that has a special built-in menu, but if you remember any other map that does this – it’ll be unavailable as of now.
Single Player Maps
While most multiplayer maps work fine, several single player maps don’t work correctly or break the game. For now, MCC only supports maps made with the original SDK, so maps made with external software that require external dlls or script files might not work here in MCC even if they worked on Custom Edition.
INSTALLATION:
You should replace singleplayer maps only with campaign maps (a10, a30, a50 … d20, d40) and should be launched as campaign levels.

* Full Lumoria Campaign

Multiplayer Maps
Some halo maps might not work at first. You should then use the tool named “Mek” to try and fix those maps as mentioned in the tutorial.
To play these maps, you must repace them with a multiplayer map (beavercreek.map, bloodgulch.map, etc). After that, you must load them from the multiplayer menu. The maps should be playable online with friends if all of you replaced the same map.
As a note, in original Custom Edition the AI did not sync through multiplayer. I haven’t tested this, but just take that in mind when playing multiplayer maps with AI with friends.

note: for maps that freeze the game, you will need to stop MCC with the task manager because not even alt+f4 will work to close it.
