[Question] Rename a custom map for MP?

Ok so say sumone modified blood gulch and I wanted to play that map online?

Would it be possible to rename the .map file to sumthing else so as to keep the original map in mapcycle on server and add the new orientation of it?

Also, when I add the modified map...would the user be able to download it from the server or would they have to get the map from browser to play on server with it...?

no, that is not possible, unless you minimize just before the next game and switch the .map file

Apparently, if you rename a modified map to 'bonus0.map', it will be selectable from the main menu. I have yet to try this; be the first.

Nor on PC. Philly, you better check your sources.

I dunno some clever guy said it. Ok, you could just overwrite a map you don't like then, like derelict/ So just rename your modded map to carousel.map or whatever and it'll replace the original. That should work.

like who? conure? btw it is impossible to add more maps to Halo PC without using CE in the multiplayer map rotation. This is a fact.
