  Installation Steps

  "Normal" Install

  • []Navigate to your Halo 2 MCC installation's map folder (for Steam version, default is C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Halo The Master Chief Collection/halo2/h2_maps_win64_dx11).

    []Extract the contents of the mod directly into the h2_maps_win61_dx11 folder and overwrite existing files (or place them in a backup folder if you wish to return to the vanilla maps in the future).

  Assembly Patches

  These instructions are for the Assembly Patches downloads of this mod. It requires you to have the Assembly modding tool. These instructions must be repeated for each map you want to patch.

  []Rename the map file(s) you want to patch to something else so the original ones aren't overwritten (for example add "_old" to the name).

  []Open Assembly and go to "Tools" > "Map Compressor". Select the map file you want to patch and select "De/Compress Map" to decompress it. NOTE: if you want to decompress multiple files at once, place them into a folder and then select that folder to decompress files in. If you select the "h2_maps_win64_dx11" folder, Assembly will attempt to decompress every file inside the folder.

  []After decompressing the map file(s), go to "Tools" > "Map Patcher", then go to the "Apply Patch" section.

  [*]Select the patch corresponding to the map you want to patch (e.g., the Cairo Station patch for the Cairo Station map) in the "Patch to Apply" f
