Claiming the coming Friday-Sunday chain for HCE.
What is Halo Custom Edition
HCE is a version of PC that was created by Gearbox of all people and aside from the biggest difference from HPC in that it supports user created content (not just bloodgulch mods) but small QoL fixes for MP. The game's about 15+ years old now so it's very toaster friendly.

WHAT MAPS ARE BEING PLAYED?
Come friday I'll have the updated list.
ENABLING CONSOLE
Create a shortcut to Haloce.exe and in the target line add a space after the file path and then add -console. In game you'll know it's working if you press ~ and pink text that says "Halo(" shows up on the bottom for your screen.
Fixing chat lag and possible exceptions from alt tabbing
HPC/HCE has a really archaic chat system that has a bad habit of quickly disappearing. HAC2 has a built inb fix for this in the form of a Halo Reach styled chat box that goes from bottom to top.
Bring up the console with ~ and type
hit enter
HOW TO CHANGE FoV
HAC2 comes with a built in FoV changer.
You can also bring up console and type in "fov #"
(Ex. fov 100)
