There are a lot of cool maps to play on, but all I can really find and even they are empty are Hugeass and Extinction. Where are all the custom servers?

Dead. Nobody hosts custom maps anymore. You could attempt to join the empty server and hope more people will join you.

Yeah, most of my playing halo is just playtesting. I only ever play MP when I get together with friends. That's your best bet. Host a gamenight. It works even better if you've got a mod, then you can invite people to beta test.

Well, that's sad. I don't have a network to play on and for some reason I cannot host games and have people join. It won't let anyone in. I appear on server lists and everything, but nobody is able to join; the message "cannot join server" or something comes up. I'd like to do a LAN but like I sai, no network here.

Nathanallan: Your network problem is that you haven't forwarded the necessary ports to host a Halo server. Look up on how to forward network ports for Halo PC.

I have tried to port forward this thing, but it's an old 2Wire that doesn't have too many options to set :(

Nobody hosted custom maps in the first place lol!

Thats why Single Player rules here... =D

About 2 years ago their was a fairly large amount of custom maps.

My theory is that people play stock maps on Halo CE because it's a lot easier then trying to find a non-modded map on Halo PC; that or the extra server features such as f2 and names over players heads.

A friend of mine in Las Vegas might start hosting, he has much better hardware than me and can run it no problem. When he starts I'll tell about it, get some players in Snow Grove and some of the other great maps.

While we are at it, why don't we start a clan. We can be as famous as the TLP Clan . I have over 200 maps that we can try though I only like about 80 of them.

If you want to start a clan, go for it, I've never been a fan of the clan thing. I might be weird about it. Go for it, though, if you can get people to join.

This is why I am going to make an AI Trainer mode with really good spartan AI. No lag, and I can make it on pretty much any map out there.

Pretty much the only custom maps you can relatively easily play atre:

immure
deltaruins
extinction
hugeass
coldsnap

That's pretty much it.

Maps I wish I could play, but never have played before:
Portent
GardenCE
Snowcast
Ivory Tower Final
Mystic
FissureFall
Launch Bay X
CMT Tensity
Revelations
Requiem (YEAH!!!!)

Maps I have playerd like once, for like 2 minutes. -_-
zanzibar
h3sandtrap
twist_beta :D
grove_final

I wish I could play any map whenever I want.

trying to get a server up and running now, providing i get this working
the server will play maps like deltaruins,revelations,portent others off course will be added.
first got to get it up and running.

You know what would be cool, if there were servers that played custom maps where the names of the maps that would be played on the server would be listed in the server's name.

That's what the message of the day is for.
