Feed Description: Duncan is the Visual Basic Content Strategist at MSDN, the editor of the Visual Basic Developer Center (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic), and the author of the "Coding 4 Fun" column on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/using/columns/code4fun/default.aspx). While typically Visual Basic focused, his blogs sometimes wanders off of the technical path and into various musing of his troubled mind.
I heard this was coming in a few weeks, but it is here now....
This is a free download, but note that you have to have your original CD-Key for this to work.... and that the version that supports custom maps is multi-player only and doesn't ship with any of the original maps... the dedicated server program is included though!!
[Update: Note sure about that 'doesn't ship with maps' comment I made... I read that in an article on the web, but the maps appeared to be there when I played... perhaps the new maps added in Halo PC are missing... but I can't be sure]
