is it in a .rar file? if so, extract it somewhere on your desktop or somewhere easily accessible. Is the mod a .ppf? if so

if the mod is already a .map, just place it in your MAPS folder in your halo directory, and overwrite the old one. make a backup of your maps first tho

Once you extract the .map file, put it in c:/program files/Microsoft Games/Halo/Maps
Now you should be able to play it.

wait wait wait huh? ok
1. Extract the map so that it is just a .map and not compressed.
2. Go to C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo/Maps and put the modded map into that folder, replacing the original map.
3. Start up halo and play the map.
(Make Backups of all the original maps.)
