Only session host or dedicated server needs to have a custom map first, players without a map will be able to download it in the pre-game lobby.

Q: Where do I get custom maps?
A: You can see and download every map file available in the Repo.

Q: Where do I put these files to make them work?
A: Halo 2 only detects custom maps in C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\Halo 2\Maps and not where the game was installed.

Q: I added a map while Halo 2 was running and it's not showing up, what do I do?
A: You can either restart the game OR open the console (F1O) and type reloadmaps to refresh the list.

Q: I want to create my own custom map! Where do I start?
A: You need to install the map editor for Halo 2. It's recommended you see this website.

Q: The map I made isn't downloading for others, what gives?
A: In order for a map to download in the pre-game lobby it needs to be in the Repo. Ask an admin to get your map on there.

Good thread, but you could also add that custom map folder can only hold 50 maps at a time for any of them to work ingame!!!
