Im trying to set up a dedicated server, and for all yuou bozos out there that ACTUALLY believed that RUMOr that it costs MONEY to run one,
IT DOESN'T. You just have to go to your start thingy, all programs, microsoft games, halo CE and CHOOSE HALO DED SERVER.
I'm trying to set up a init.txt file, but I don't know where to put it and what to make it with. Can anyone help?

You put the Init into the Halo CE root directory and you edit it with notepad.
Heres some help with creating an init:
This shows where everything should go
; server parameters
sv_name Halocity <-- Server Name
sv_public true <-- true/false - 0/1 to display on gamespy
sv_maxplayers 10 <-- Max clients
sv_password Halo <-- Password
sv_rcon_password halocity <--Rcon Password
sv_mapcycle_timeout 30 <-- Time delay between maps
sv_tk_ban 4 <-- Ban after 4 tk
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 8h 1d <- Tk penaltys
sv_tk_cooldown 5m <-- cool down
sv_tk_grace 3s <-- grace
; mapcycle
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "team slayer" <-- game types
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add carousel "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add infinity "team slayer"
; start server automatically
sv_mapcycle_begin
And this shows how the final should look (according to the sample above)
; server parameters
sv_name Halocity
sv_public true
sv_maxplayers 10
sv_password Halo
sv_mapcycle_timeout 30
sv_tk_ban 4
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1d 0
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 8h 1d
sv_tk_cooldown 5m
sv_tk_grace 3s
; mapcycle
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add carousel "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add infinity "team slayer"
; start server automatically
sv_mapcycle_begin
