well this is modeling for CE but il help you out. If you edit a model in halo PC it has to have the same number of verticies and faces. Basicly you can only move them around to make more models. So if you save a pistol that has 3000 verticies the edited model MUST have 3000 verticies.

there could bve two reasons...
1...did you make a new model?
2...if you moved them...using what program.
Becuase 3ds max adds unknown verticies to the model.

yeah i used gmax and moved some vertices around with a model i exported and it tells me there are to many indices when i import it.

i tried wings 3d but it added indices just like gmax...
and blender is confusing... i mean really confusing...
time to try nendo and anim8tor.

EDIT: Anim8tor works but for some reason it wont import some .obj files... if anyone knows why plz tell
